Thank YOU for such an amazing experience that I thoroughly enjoyed! Our days of shooting and locations were nothing short of amazing!

Susan Lloyd-Piralli, Switzerland

I started looking at the world differently again! It is probably the first time I’m looking forward to a homework after the workshop.

Mariel Westendorp, Holland

Patrik and Monika's way of sharing experience and knowledge suits me the best. Their education style is unique, I am really enjoying it!

Michaela Nesvadbová, Czech Republic

I learned so much today and can not thank you both enough. I have already been practicing and can't wait to have a moments peace to read through my new "bible", the workshop material, and continue building and practicing on all of the skills you taught us today. Thank you for unleashing the potential in my camera, and me, I am truly overjoyed to be able to capture moments in confidence of a great result. You guys are awesome!

Louise Al Taher, Switzerland


That was awesome! You are now officially my photo professor 😉

Joe Hartzell, USA


I had a wonderful time, thank you for everything! I love your teaching style, now I understand what to do to get good shot and if there will be a chance to continue I will be there!

Pavlína Skořepová, Czech Republic


Monika and Patrik are not only extremely skilled as photographers, they are also really kind and fun to work with / learn from.

Luca Allaria, Italy


Thank you! Good learning with clear concepts and good fun! All the best.

Josué De La Maza, Mexico


Last spring I have attended Patrik's workshop in Tuscany. It was intensive, it was demanding, but it was awesome! Patrik is great photographer, but additionally he knows how to share his knowledge and experience easily, understandable and with a patience. Most of all I really like, how he can find photo opportunities during a whole day, no matter what kind of light, because those are typical situations I find myself during my holidays all the time!

Tomáš Feller, Czech Republic


Dear Monika and Patrik, thank you very much for the workshop. I really enjoyed it and I have learned a lot of new things (and was reminded of a lot of things I used to know ;-)). It was also great that is was really hands-on and practicing a lot, not too much theory during the workshop. The manual with the theory is very clear, especially since we covered a lot during the practical part of the workshop. It is great for reference. And all the photos in it and the ones we made during the workshop are good examples. I continued shooting a lot of photos once I got home and didn’t use automatic once. I started looking at the world differently again 🙂 It is probably the first time I’m looking forward to a homework assignment 😉 A big thank you to both of you!

Mariel Westendorp, Holland


I have already recommended your workshop to all my friends, it was awesome! I have made a big step in my photography knowledge and now I'm finally more confident in how to take a shot I really want!

Lucie Krátka, Czech Republic


I was lucky enough to be with Patrik on two trips. There are two principal reasons why I am happy to recommend him as a guide and photography trip leader. First of all he is blessed with a lovely, calm and thoughtful personality, which is a great benefit when travelling, and where things don’t always go according to plan. I felt safe and secure at all times, and there was a lovely atmosphere around Patrik and his group. Patrik’s good humour was a real asset. As for his photography tutoring, he is most concerned to ensure that all the photographers were able to do their very best with whatever equipment they had, and was generous with both his time – explaining things as often as needed – and his kit, lending it around to help others, either to try out or to use for a particular shot. I do hope that I can get to travel with him again.

Alison Ryde, United Kingdom


It is unbelievable how easily, professionally and in a relaxed atmosphere this couple can involve you into photography. It doesn't matter whether you are beginner or advanced - if you will have a chance to join their workshop then go!

Rado Krochmaľ, Slovakia


I was pleased to attend Pixien workshop when I've learned how to benefit from all manual adjustments - skipping auto mode. The workshop time goes very fast but provides very useful and valuable information. Thanks for the workshop and valuable tips.

Lina Otaka Fujimaki, Brasil


Monika showed me how I could bring out the maximum from my digital camera. Just a little adjustment and picture is completely different. With her help I'm able to take my beautiful and artistic pictures during my trips.

Agnes Baranyai, Hungary


Taking the photography workshop with Pixien has been very useful for my hobby. I learned all about basic settings for my camera, photography tricks, literature and, the best of all, in a very entertaining, hands-on and funny way! Now my pictures look much better! I widely recommend the workshop!

First things first – if you are not sure what monochromatic means – here’s a short definition: monochromatic comes from the Greek word “monos” meaning one, and “khroma” meaning color. Simply said, monochromatic images are images (mostly) in one color only or in a very similar tone/hue/shade of that...
