Golden October - Engadin, Reimagined

2 Tage

Oberengadin (Zuoz)

A focused photography experience for those who want more than just beautiful landscapes

About the Workshop

Experience the Engadin in Golden October at the peak of autumn, when light, color, and landscape come together in a truly unique way.


Work with me in a personalized session of a small group (maximum 3 participants) over 2 days, exploring some of the most iconic, and lesser-known, locations in the Upper Engadin. We focus not just on where to shoot, but when: chasing the best light, refining composition, and developing a way of seeing that goes beyond the obvious.


I will guide you through my full approach to landscape photography, from finding strong perspectives to working with changing conditions, from capturing the scene to shaping a final image with intention. Whether you aim for expressive fine art or clean, powerful compositions, we define a clear creative direction together.



This is not a fixed workshop with a rigid schedule. It’s a flexible, immersive experience built around light, weather, and your personal goals. We move through the landscape, adapt to conditions, and make the most of every moment, from early morning atmospheres to the last light of the day.


Sessions start with an informal dinner, setting the tone for the days ahead. During our time together, we combine shooting on location with focused discussions on technique, composition, and image development.


This is a dedicated experience for photographers who want more than just beautiful locations and are ready to invest in their craft.
