We’ll begin our journey by exploring the charming Jordaan District, famous for its narrow streets, photogenic canals, and quaint bridges. This area perfectly captures the authentic Amsterdam vibe with its mix of old houses, cosy cafés, and hidden courtyards.

From Jordaan, we’ll stroll through the Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes), where boutique shops, vintage stores, and vibrant canal views offer excellent street photography opportunities. Later in the afternoon, we’ll head toward Prinsengracht, one of Amsterdam’s most iconic canals, and photograph the Westerkerk Church with the surrounding picturesque houses and houseboats along the canal.

As the sun sets, we’ll board a canal cruise to capture the golden hour light reflecting off the water and historic canal houses. This cruise will give us a unique perspective of the city. We’ll end the day with a group dinner in the Jordaan District, a perfect way to relax after a fulfilling day of shooting

We’ll start the day at the Amsterdam Central Station, capturing the stunning architecture of this grand landmark as the morning light casts beautiful shadows across its intricate façade. From here, we’ll walk toward Damrak, one of Amsterdam’s most photographed locations, featuring historic houses lining the canal that appear to float on the water.

Next, we’ll make our way to Dam Square, the city's bustling heart, where we’ll photograph the Royal Palace and the vibrant atmosphere of the square. After exploring Dam Square, we’ll take a short walk to the famous Anne Frank House on Prinsengracht, where the exterior and surrounding canals provide rich historical and architectural photo opportunities.

In the afternoon, we’ll head to Vondelpark, Amsterdam’s most famous green space, for landscape and nature photography. This tranquil setting contrasts the busy city streets, offering peaceful ponds, lush greenery, and sculptures to capture. We’ll end the afternoon at the Rijksmuseum, where the grand architecture and surrounding gardens provide stunning compositions.

The colourful buildings and lively streets provide excellent street photography opportunities, showcasing a different side of Amsterdam away from the tourist crowds.
