Hi, I'm Olaf, and I will be your photography guide, mentor, and new best friend in Prague!

Let me tell you a little about myself, and why I am super happy to share Prague with you, and help you get great photographs of this amazing city!

I love photography. There's no denying it. I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years, and run photography tours for the last 12 years. This is my real passion - helping you get better at taking photographs. Photos you love and are proud of. If I can help you be better at taking photos by the end of our time together, then I am happy. And I love Prague and showing you all the best places to take photos.

Many of my clients have told me I am a gifted teacher, able to make photography easy to understand for everyone. I take this as a real compliment, and confirmation that I am really doing what I was born to do.

But that's not all. I also love to travel and explore new countries. 46 countries so far. Just for fun I also trained in off-road driving, and am a qualified Professional driver. I also trained to be a bodyguard, which turned out to help me in my photography (you will have to come on a photo tour to find out how!).

I was born in Holland, but grew up in New Zealand, so my first language is English. While New Zealand was a great place to grow up, I wanted to explore the world. So, in search of adventure and a warmer climate, I ended up in Malta, then Santorini, Greece for 10 years, then a couple of years in Holland, and now picturesque Prague!

To help more people, I have written a book about my approach to photography - distilling my years of experience into a practical method to improve your photography skills. I have spent a lot of time thinking about human behavior and it's effect on how we photograph, which is the basis of the book.

So join me on a Photo Tour in Prague. You'll learn how to take better pictures, get to see some more of this beautiful world, and maybe have some fun along the way. After all, that's what life should be about!

As Prague is a very old city, there are places that require walking up/down stairs and on cobbled streets. Please keep this in mind before booking a tour if you have mobility issues.

"Prague is awesome! It's one of the few places in the world that can still take your breath away. What's even more amazing are all the fantastic hidden spots that most tourists never see. If you come to Prague you can join me on one of my fun and relaxed history and photography night tours. I'd love to show you around, and help you with your photography!"

This tour is perfect for absolute beginners, amateur photographers, and cameraphone users - right through to serious amateurs, Whatever your level of photography I will adjust the guidance to suit your needs.

I can take you by yourself, with your partner or friend, or a group - up to 4 people. I never mix groups of people who don't know each other - the tours are private and once you book, the time is exclusively for you. This is to maximise your time learning about the history of Prague, and improving your photography.

All tours are flexible and can be customised to what you would like to see/do - or just leave it up to me for a great tour!
