«Master the Language of Photography – Tell Captivating Stories»
The best photographs are more than just well-composed images—they tell stories that captivate, engage, and draw the viewer into the moment. Since the Stone Age, when people gathered around the fire to listen to compelling tales, we have been fascinated by storytelling. And that is precisely what a great photograph can do: pull us in, evoke emotions, and create excitement.
But how do you turn an image into a story? The answer lies in the language of photography. While it may seem like magic when a photograph truly resonates, it’s not magic—it’s a language you can learn, just as you once learned to write. The difference is that while we’ve been trained in written language since childhood, few of us have received a proper introduction to the power of visual storytelling.
At the photo workshop in Drammen, you will have the opportunity to dive deeper into the secrets of visual storytelling. You’ll learn how to enhance your photographic expression and effectively communicate your message through images. Through hands-on practice, individual guidance, and inspiring reviews of participants’ photos, you’ll develop your skills as a visual storyteller.
Thank you so much for a wonderful and intense weekend! As a participant, I was challenged to do things I normally wouldn’t have done but had always wanted to. I worked outside my comfort zone and really enjoyed it.

Experienced photographer Otto von Münchow will lead the workshop, taking you out into the streets to demonstrate how he captures stories through his lens. He will provide direct feedback and help refine your technique, elevating your photography to a new level. Each day, we will analyze photos together, and Otto will challenge you to see and think in new ways.
With a career spanning several decades in Norwegian and international press—and exhibitions at events such as the Berlin Foto Biennale—Otto has a unique understanding of what it takes to create compelling images. He generously shares his knowledge through lectures and examples from his own work.
But most importantly, Otto is not just a skilled photographer—he is an inspiring mentor. Having conducted workshops worldwide, he consistently receives glowing reviews from participants. Now, you have the opportunity to learn from him, develop your own photographic language, and take your photography to new heights.
