Our Amsterdam Photography Tour with Charlotte Bellamy will take place in April 2027.

Amsterdam is a city built on contradictions, where 17th-century engineering meets cutting-edge Dutch design. This isn’t your average Amsterdam photography tour — it is an opportunity to explore this unique city with your camera, guided by Charlotte Bellamy, who has lived in the Netherlands for 15 years.

You may find yourself photographing the iconic leaning canal houses of the Golden Age one day, and the bold lines, glass reflections and dramatic geometric shapes of Amsterdam’s modern architectural marvels the next.

Framing Amsterdam - A Creative Photography Tour

Most people think of Amsterdam and its canals. While exploring the city through its canal reflections is high on the list of activities for this tour, there are so many more elements to this complex city, all of which you will be encouraged to interpret during this four-day creative photography tour.

Modern architecture offers unique lines, shadows, light and shapes. The traditional wonky façades provide a treasure trove of doors, shutters, window reflections and street life opportunities. With Charlotte’s insider knowledge of the city, you will find yourself in rarely photographed locations that will intrigue and surprise. We will even take to the water for an alternative view of Amsterdam.

This tour is not just about capturing the obvious, though. You will be encouraged, inspired and taught techniques such as Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM, and Multiple Exposure, or ME, honing your skills of looking, seeing and contemplating the possibilities. With encouragement from a knowledgeable and experienced tour leader, you will return home with a set of images that are uniquely your own, showing your personal interpretation of this remarkable city.

This tour offers opportunities for traditional and modern architectural photography, urban landscapes and water reflections, slow shutter speed and night photography, black and white and colour, ICM and ME techniques, tiny details and wider views. It is about telling stories and interpreting a location in a way that fits with what you want to say about it.

Whether you are shooting on a professional DSLR, mirrorless camera or smartphone, you will come away with a strong portfolio of images and a fresh perspective on how to look at a city. If you are looking to develop your creative photography, Charlotte is your ideal tour guide. With just a small group, she will ensure that, whatever your aims and aspirations for joining the tour, there will be plenty of one-to-one time to help you explore your photography at a level and pace that suits you personally.
