One-to-One: Prague
A very rare opportunity to accompany and learn on a one-on-one basis from someone who considers Prague to be his second home.
Date: Fri 21st Nov - Sun 23rd Nov 2025
Time: 14:00 - 10:00
Price: £955.00
Deposit: £200.00
Group size: 1
Tutor / Guide: Robert Canis
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Duration: 2 nights
Classification: Workshop
Cost includes: Tuition, guiding, tram/metro tickets, taxi and post-tour image review and editing tutorial.
Cost excludes: Flights (circa £250), accommodation (circa £125pn), meals (circa £25 per day), entrance tickets into places of interest (circa £30) and airport transfers (circa £25 each way).
Accommodation:
As with any city, there are many hotels to suit everyone's pocket, and although you would be very welcome to stay where you please, I would like to recommend Hotel Kampa Garden and Archibald at the Charles Bridge which are extremely comfortable and are located just 200 metres from the famous Charles Bridge.
Fitness level: Moderate. By far the best way to experience Prague is on foot but we will, on occasion, use its highly efficient tram and, perhaps, metro system. So long as you don't have any serious mobility issues, can handle the occasional gradient and possess a pair of comfortable shoes, you will find this no problem at all. Plus, in order to keep up our energy levels, I do like to factor in the occasional coffee and cake stop!
Sunrise / Sunset: 7.30 / 4.15
Experience Level: Beginner upwards. Other than my Creative Visions workshops, all are aimed at the beginner who needs hands-on tuition to the professional who requires just to be guided to locations but who would also enjoy being in the company of other like-minded photogr
Equipment needed: Keeping it light is the key when working in the city so just a couple of lenses from wide-angle to telephoto would be required, and although a polarising filter, ND and ND grads would be useful, they are by no means essential. However, for those early morning and night shoots, a lightweight tripod most certainly is! An extensive checklist will be sent to everyone several months before the tour.

Special dietary requirements/allergens
Prague is as developed as any other European country but it is relatively new to the concept of vegetarianism and especially veganism. They are big meat-eaters so although there will be a few vegetarian options, being 'flexitarian' would certainly make your life that much easier! If you're a strict vegan then I am afraid this tour will not be for you as vegan options are either rare or extremely limited. Also, should you have strict allergy requirements then I'm afraid the same applies.

This is a very rare opportunity to accompany and learn from someone who considers Prague to be his second home. Having visited this amazing city on no fewer than 70 occasions over the last 20+ years, there can't be many photographers who are as well acquainted. During this Prague photography workshop, I will lead you around this enchanting city, both by day and by night, photographing many of its icons including Charles Bridge, St Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle as well as lesser-known, anonymous locations, too. With both wide-angle and telephoto lenses, we will look at capturing vistas, close-ups of details and, perhaps, even venturing into the world of long and multiple exposure. Prague also lends itself beautifully to black-and-white photography, and with my guidance, you are sure to return home with some stunning photographs. I hope you can join me!
PRE-WORKSHOP VIDEO CALL
Prior to the day, at a mutually convenient time, we will have a brief video call to discuss what you would like to gain from the workshop, and through viewing a small selection of your images I can gain an understanding of your experience and therefore tailor the workshop accordingly.
TUITION, CRITIQUES & TUTORIALS
Unlike the Prague tour, this is classed as a workshop which means that as a result, you will receive as much tuition as you would like or feel that you need. My laptop will also be my constant companion so at convenient times (over coffee, for example) I can review your photos and give suggestions on post-processing.
ABOUT PRAGUE
Known as The City of a Hundred Spires, Prague has, over the centuries, had what you might call a rather chequered history. From being ruled in the 1800s by the Habsburg Empire, Naxi Germany during WWII and eventually the Soviet Union until the Velvet Revolution of 1989, it was only as recently as 1993 that Czechoslovakia was peacefully divided into two independent states of the Czech and Slovak Republics. Throughout the ages, Prague has remained relatively unchanged and its eclectic mix of Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles, cobbled lanes, synagogues, churches, a castle and a cathedral make this UNESCO World Heritage Site not only one of Europe's most beautiful cities but an absolute joy to wander around and photograph.
Prague is stunning any time of the year but particularly so, I think, in autumn when visitor numbers are significantly lower, sunrise and sunset are neither too early nor too late and when there is a very real possibility of mist and fog, which, of course, is pure Manna from Heaven for the photographer!
POST-TOUR IMAGE REVIEW AND LIGHTROOM TUTORIAL
Following the tour and upon receiving half a dozen RAW files, I will provide a recorded critique and Lightroom edit. There will be no need for you to be present during this process, so you need not set any time aside. This will not only give you valuable feedback but it will, I hope, also provide ideas for processing your own photos.
To me, Prague truly reveals its beauty at night and in particular those quieter areas where you can relax and let your mind wander and create compositions of cobbled lanes and staircases under the illumination of lamp light.
FINALLY...
Thank you for considering this One-to-One Prague photography workshop. Should you have any questions, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to help and ensure that you have a wonderful few days filled with inspiring photography.

"Firstly, we just wanted to thank you so much for giving us such an amazing time in Prague! You gave us a wealth of opportunities over those days through all your careful planning and wealth of knowledge. How easy you always make it for us … to make the best of a location! We know that we learnt so much and really hope to build on this over the months ahead. Again, thank you for all your patience, too"!
Sarah Alexander
"Prague is a beautiful city and with misty mornings and sunny days, autumn was the ideal time for a photography trip. Rob ensured that we visited excellent locations to capture the city at its best, many before sunrise or after sunset. Throughout the trip, Rob was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone’s needs. I particularly valued learning techniques for composing in black and white and for capturing the light trails from trams. Rob’s enthusiasm and the bon homie within the group led to a very enjoyable three days. I recommend it to everyone, and will, myself, be looking to join other trips led by Rob".
Barbara Hedge
“This short break in Prague was my photographic highlight of the year. The comfortable hotel chosen by Rob was just a short walk from the many attractions of this beautiful city. Rob’s planning ensured that our shutter fingers were always busy but there was still time for coffee and cake. The evening meals were excellent and the beer was cheap. I recommend the pork knuckle if you like your meat. The group was small and, most importantly for a photographic tour, Rob was always on hand to give advice and encouragement. If you are able it is well worth staying on for an extra day or two to explore the city. I have been on several tours and workshops run by Rob and have no hesitation recommending him for any level of photographer”.
Colin Young
"Having been one of the lucky people to have secured a place on the trip to Prague, I can only say how much I enjoyed the tour, put together, as always, so well by Rob. With his knowledge of the city, we visited some places which were not overrun by other tourists, giving us the best chances of securing some good images. I fully recommend this tour to anyone who likes architecture, street photography and townscapes, because this tour has it all! Accommodation and food were both excellent, and the other members of the group were very pleasant to work with. So, thank you, everyone, for contributing to a superb photo tour. Finally, a word to say a big thank you, to Rob, for all his hard work in the organisation and research into flights and hotels, which made booking so much easier".
Chris Rothery
"Prague is a beautiful city - and three days is barely long enough to do more than take an overview with Bob giving us the benefit of his considerable knowledge of the city. In retrospect I should have taken an extra few days, as some other members of the group did, and stayed on to enjoy the ambience of the city - but even then, that wouldn’t have been enough time to really get to know the city. Bob was an excellent guide as usual - he knew the best places to take us to tickle our photographic fancies. After the dreadful Spring we had had at home, it was a delight to find everything in Prague in bloom as it should be - horse chestnuts in full spring regalia, spring flowers everywhere - a beautiful time to visit the parks and enjoy the magnificent views of the so colourful city.
We spent an evening taking night shots over the Charles Bridge - you could spend a week there, day and night, and still not exhaust the possibilities. We had one good day of sunshine, and the next was raining, but Bob turned that to our advantage by popping us into a covered arcade overlooking the streets in the centre of Prague for street photography in the rain, and we stayed bone dry. Such was the pace of the trip that most of the time, and even afterwards, I was not quite sure where I was, but that was more due to advancing age than the quality of the guidance by Bob. Another enjoyable trip, with excellent restaurants found by Bob, well worth the trip. I am left with an overwhelming sense of the colours of the city".
Denise Leppard
"I have recently returned from my first photographic workshop abroad courtesy of Robert Canis. I was impressed by the professional way Robert conducts his business from booking to departure everything was planned with fine detail ensuring you make the most of your time. We had plenty of breaks for refreshments and the restaurants and cafes Robert chose were excellent.
Robert keeps the groups small and ensures everyone gets advice on camera settings and suggestions for composition. My photography has improved greatly following my trip.
This is a fabulous way to meet like minded photographers and enjoy being in the right place at the right time with a professional photographer. I will certainly be booking again".
Kerry Long
"We had an excellent photography tour in November. We arrived at our hotel to find that our room had views of Charles Bridge and the River Valtava. The trip then got better. Our photography days were superbly organised taking us straight from one amazing sight to another, always with a good vantage point; with carefully organised stops for dinner or coffee and cake. It was so good to be taken around this beautiful city by someone with such knowledge of Prague; we could not have fitted so much in if we had spent a week there on our own. Rob's guidance was of great benefit both to me, as a novice photographer, and to my husband who is a much more accomplished photographer".
Fiona & Steve Harrison
"One of the highlights for me in 2014 was attending a great workshop in Prague with Robert. his Knowledge of the city and willingness to pass on his photography skills ensured we all walked away with a nice collection of photographs, of this lovely city. The hotel was first class as were the restaurants that Robert picked for us each night. I would like to thank you for a well organised and enjoy trip. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who enjoys their photography".
Chris Moncrieff
"Thanks for the experience. I had a fantastic time with great photo opportunities. All in all an inspiring trip. I have loads of images to work on when I get the time to do so. I learnt a lot, consolidated a few techniques and discovered many more. Would recommend the trip to everyone. Looking forward to my next one"!

Workshop info
Thank you for dropping by and considering attending a workshop. I love nothing more than to pass on to others the knowledge I have gained over the last 30 years as a professional photographer and 15 as a workshop and tour leader. My group sizes are always small ensuring a fun and friendly group dynamic, lots of 'personal space' in which to photograph without too much fear of others getting in your way and as much tuition as you would like or feel that you need. I hope you can join me!
Although under the 'umbrella' of Workshops, please note there is a difference between the three types that I offer. To avoid any confusion, please see below.
Workshops
Those taking place in the UK are classed as Workshops where learning is the primary aim, and in the case of those which are multi-day residential, very often include image critique and post-processing sessions.
Tours
Overseas trips are classed as Tours where the logistics are all taken care of and where the emphasis is on getting you to great locations at the best time of the day. Since these may include hide photography and working in cold, windy conditions where one-on-one tuition isn't practical, these are less hands-on. However, prior to the hide session or upon arriving at a location, I will give advice and suggestions on composition, lens selection and exposure.
Creative Visions
Creative Visions is a new concept that I have designed to specifically nurture your artistic growth. They can take place in either the UK or abroad combining both workshop and tour principles. There will be critique and post-processing tutorials and, most importantly, you will be encouraged to go beyond the record and representational and instead produce more intimate creative interpretations.
