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! Former ProGuide member (New Zealand) Author of Discover Your Inner Photographer 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.

    This was a great tour if you’re interested in lots of practical advice about taking great photos. We’ve heard lectures before, full of all sorts of tech advice about using digital cameras, iPhones, etc., most of which we didn’t remember. Olaf focused on how to take the best views with some ways to adjust the photo. So helpful and easy to remember. Highly recommend...

    My night photography tour of Prague with Olaf was exceptional! Olaf is very knowledgeable, knows the best locations to capture Prague's beauty and provided a helpful level of instruction to enable me to expand my photography skills while capturing the uniqueness of the city. I would gladly participate in another tour with Olaf in the future and highly recommend others do...
