comprehensive. It’s like a photography festival, where photographers comes to learn and be inspire.
I had the opportunity to conduct a location workshop, talk and a photowalk too. My location workshop’s venue is at Sacre Coeur. It’s a one hundred and ten years old chapel. My model is a professional boxer and also a stuntman.

I also had the opportunity to extend my stay for 3 days to explore this beautiful city.
Perfect opportunity to do some street photography. when its comes to Street Photography I seriously have no idea what it actually meant. I guess its just using a camera to document the place where your feet brings you. LOL. Here are series of photos that I have shot during my stay at this beautiful city call Prague, where she has left a deep footprint. I have label them under different title.
FACE TO FACE.
The human face is always filled with many facet. This is all written on it. I tried to get
as close as I could to nail a shot. All this photos are taken with X100F. I like it as its
totally silence in the operation. Firing a couple of shots per second without a single bit of sound is as stealth as one could get.
STREETS OF PRAGUE.
Prague is indeed a walkable city. It’s my first time there and it kind of transported me back in time. A classical and charming city. Filled with history in every corner. One just needed to explore.

To sweeten my trip; I met up with FujiFanboy Jonas. He actually travel from Brno to
meet me at Prague. That is about 200km away. He spend one and half day showing me
Prague and since we are both FujiFanboys, photowalk is also part of it. Jonas is a also model; I photograph him as we walk along too. What more could I ask for. This is the best photowalk ever plus the amazing hospitality from Jonas.
