Unveiling Milan's Many Veils: A Photowalk for Future Storytellers - Wow! This walk was fantastic, even for an intermediate (at best) photographer like me. Ersan created a welcoming environment that pushed me to try more advanced techniques. The walk went beyond the typical "contemporary" theme. We explored Milan's rich history, feeling like we were time traveling through modern and medieval eras. This translated beautifully into my photos, capturing a mix of contemporary street photography, modern fashion, and timeless documentary. The logistics were flawless. We saw everything Milan had to offer, and even more! The walk facilitated some incredible encounters - from chatting with an art professor to a dog-loving student to a captivating conversation about colour and knits with a designer. The price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the unforgettable experiences the city offered us. Ersan, the organiser, is a breath of fresh air. Young, energetic, and confident, they challenged our assumptions about street photography and pushed the artistic boundaries of the walk. It was truly rejuvenating! The walk felt very personal, yet I never felt alone. It was like having masters of composition, shadows, and colour guiding us every step of the way. This camaraderie has me feeling optimistic about future photography adventures. The theme of "finding ourselves within others" resonated deeply. I believe this walk could be a powerful experience for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the world around them. Chaos of the city was a concern to my expectations in this bustling environment, and I am relieved that Ersan expertly navigated any potential hurdles. Overall, this was an incredible experience that I highly recommend!

Capturing Milano: The one unforgettable street photography tour - I recently had the opportunity to join a private street photography walking tour in Milano led by this exceptionally talented guide, Ersan. It was clear that he was not only passionate about photography but also very knowledgeable about Milano's rich history and vibrant culture. He combined technical photography tips with fascinating anecdotes about the city's architecture, people and hidden gems. Together we explored various iconic landmarks and lesser-known spots that offered unique photographic opportunities. He had a good eye for detail and composition, providing invaluable advice on how to capture the essence of each location. One of the highlights was the hands-on guidance I received. Ersan was patient and encouraging, offering constructive feedback and helping me experiment with different angles, lighting, and techniques. In addition to the technical aspects, the guide also emphasized the importance of storytelling through photography. He encouraged me to observe and connect with surroundings, resulting in more meaningful and impactful images. This holistic approach not only enhanced my photography skills but also deepened my appreciation for Milano's unique charm. By the end of the day, I walked away not only with a portfolio of stunning photographs but also with a newfound passion for street photography. Thank you to this fantastic guide for an inspiring and educational adventure. I can't wait to return and join another tour in the future!

Enjoyable few hours exploring Milan, getting the benefit of local knowledge. - I did the street photography guided walk with Ersan in OCT23. I found his knowledge of photography and of Milan to be excellent and had a very enjoyable few hours. He guided me to some interesting and less frequented sites and his tips and advice concerning street photography as a genre was gratefully received. I would certainly recommend Ersan to anyone interested in Street Photography and wish him success.
