See differently. Start now.

This is not about photography. It’s about perception.

„One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.“

Philosophie des Sehens

Was bedeutet „Sehen“ wirklich?
Eine Reise durch Wahrnehmung, Wirklichkeit und den gegenwärtigen Moment.

Lerne wie Achtsamkeit, Philosophie und Technik zu einem ganzheitlichen Seherlebnis verschmelzen.

  • Achtsamkeit & Intuition: Fotografie als Weg zu Ruhe, Präsenz und tieferem Selbsterleben.
  • Philosophie des Sehens: Was bedeutet Wahrnehmung? Eine Reise zu Fragen nach Wirklichkeit und Bewusstsein.
  • Praxis & Wahrnehmung: Erhalte Einblicke in Kameraeinstellungen, Perspektivenwahl und Kompositionstechniken.

Achtsames Sehen

Detour Havana

Detour Havana – ist ein fotografischer und erzählerischer Umweg durch das Sichtbare und Unsichtbare einer Stadt.

Zwischen Reportage und Reflexion. Zwischen Havanna und dir.

Jedes Bild beginnt nicht mit der Kamera, sondern mit deinem Blick. Detour Havana verbindet Sehen, Denken und Gestalten zu einem neuen Zugang zur Fotografie.

  • Technik als Werkzeug – Lerne, die Kamera intuitiv zu beherrschen, ohne das Sehen zu verlieren.
  • Wahrnehmung als Prozess – Erfahre, wie Achtsamkeit den Blick vertieft und Bilder lebendiger macht.
  • Philosophie des Sehens – Hinterfrage, was du siehst – und warum du es so siehst.

Fotografie ist kein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, sondern ein Dialog mit ihr. Detour Havana gibt dir 100 Impulse, diesen Dialog auf eine neue Weise zu führen.

“Be present and ready to react”

Workshop - Detour Havana

Havana is more than a destination—it’s a living tapestry of color, culture, and spontaneous human connection. When you immerse yourself in its vibrant streets, you step into a world that naturally aligns with the spirit of our „100 Steps“ Program. Each step invites you to engage more mindfully with your surroundings, fostering both personal growth and a deeper understanding of others.

Choosing our masterclass in Havana means embracing a living, breathing classroom of culture, color, and spontaneous encounters. In this city, every moment offers a chance to expand your perspective—on both the world around you and the inner landscape of your own mind. Through the synergy of Havana’s vibrant streets and our 100 Steps Program, you’ll cultivate deeper awareness, empathy, and creative expression. Ultimately, it’s not just about discovering the soul of Havana; it’s about discovering a richer, more profoundly connected version of yourself.

Photography here transcends mere technique. By working through the 100 steps, you’ll learn to be fully present, not only behind the camera but also in each interaction with people and place. This deeper engagement brings fresh perspectives—both photographically and personally.

In Havana, every corner has its own pulse—music, architecture, the warmth of its people. Our masterclass harnesses these rhythms to sharpen your perception, encouraging you to fully absorb and capture each moment.

By taking the ‘detour’ through the lives of others, you expand your own sense of self. Havana’s welcoming community, with its genuine openness, offers the perfect environment to practice the art of compassionate seeing—allowing you to see the world (and yourself) with renewed clarity.

The camera becomes a tool for self-exploration. As you explore Havana’s winding alleys and vivid landscapes, each photograph reveals a part of your own inner journey—one of introspection, insight, and transformation.

 As your photography mentor, I’ll be right by your side, guiding you every step of the way. Together, we’ll elevate your photography skills and explore valuable tips and techniques.
