Budapest is a city of grand architecture, remarkable interiors, and layers of history—but some of its most compelling photographic subjects are hidden behind doors most visitors simply walk past. During this six-day workshop, Randy Van Duinen and Budapest-based photographer and writer Vincent Baumgartner will lead a small group through both the celebrated landmarks of the city and its lesser-known architectural treasures.

​

We’ll photograph iconic locations such as the Hungarian Parliament, Fisherman’s Bastion, St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Opera House, historic bridges, and some of Budapest’s extraordinary interiors. Just as importantly, two half days will be devoted to locations selected through Vincent’s local knowledge and access—historic residential buildings, courtyards, staircases, architectural details, and spaces that reveal a very different side of Budapest. Vincent’s Buildings Tell Tales project is specifically devoted to documenting these lesser-known buildings and the stories connected to them. 

​

The workshop will be limited to just 12 photographers, allowing Randy and Vincent to work closely with participants in the field. Photography will be scheduled around the best light, with early mornings for quieter locations and evening sessions for golden hour, sunset, twilight, and blue hour along the Danube.

A pre-workshop Zoom meeting will cover preparation, equipment, travel logistics, and what to expect in Budapest. After everyone returns home and has had time to work with their photographs, we’ll meet again online for image processing, image review, and questions about the techniques used throughout the workshop
