It’s been four months since I returned from my photography workshop in Paris. When I thought about all the things I wanted to share about the workshop and started to actually make notes for this blog post, I realized that one post really wouldn’t do it justice…so it’s going to be three!

Despite Amsterdam having a pretty polarized reputation for being a party town with lots of porn, I really didn’t have any particular expectations about it.
