Why I’ve chosen Lyon
Following the successes of workshops in London, Paris and Brussels, I set my heart on this southern French town, which was the historic capital of the Gauls.
Beyond its classical beauty, the City of Lights holds a special fascination for street photographers in search of alternative visual gems. From striking architecture and secret passageways to bold street art, a whole range of settings awaits you to showcase your talents. Over the weekend, we’ll also immerse ourselves in the lively atmosphere of the Villeurbanne International Street Arts Festival to capture a unique urban spectacle.
This made-to-measure programme will enable you to approach street photography as a playground of endless possibilities.

When I found out that Tim Fox was organising a workshop, I seized the chance. I really love his work, the minimalist style of his street photos, with deep blacks and rich colours. Tim organised everything down to the last detail, from the welcome drink to the final goodbye. I really appreciated the balance of time spent on one’s own and that of being together as a group.
It was also great to have the time to come back at the end of the day, edit one’s pictures and present them to the group for feedback & discussion. Tim’s experience on the ground was invaluable, teaching me a lot and providing me with greater confidence. This workshop really enthused me to carry on with my street photography.
I was waiting impatiently for Tim to come to Brussels, so as I could participate in this Workshop, and when the moment arrived I was certainly not disappointed! We were straight out into the thick of the action, getting to grips with the subject matter- not too much theory but a lot of practice, which suited me perfectly. I also greatly appreciated the fact that Tim gets as much pleasure being out on the streets as we do, and that he shows by example, how to anticipate and get himself in the right place at the right time to capture a moment within a meaningful context.
Great spirit, worn out feet, forefinger cramping up, tons of images to sort through, that’s how I would sum up my experience of this Brussels workshop!
Tim’s street photography workshop in Paris was a real treat. With his guidance I added a new dimension to my work. He helped me to slow down in street photography and start from the background first. What I also found impressive was how Tim helped every participant to make progress. In particular, he coached people to grow from where they were in their photographical development instead of just telling them where he thinks they should be instead.
As a photographer, Tim showcases a playful, aesthetic approach to street photography. It was a pleasure to watch him work, to experience Paris with him, and to grow together as a photographer. Thanks Tim.
Post-workshop bonus !
To safeguard the rich collective experience of these three days spent together, I create a printed souvenir which puts together in creative form the best photographs as well as telling the story of our shared emotions. This book is then available to view online via the Blurb publisher’s bookstore, with the option of purchasing individual copies. You can view the Brussels book via this link
