Urban photography workshop
Brussels Minimal
Architecture & Author's Perspective
From June 19 to 21, 2026
Immerse yourself in the heart of Brussels for an intensive 3-day photography workshop dedicated to minimalist architecture and developing your artistic vision.
Between contemporary lines, iconic structures and urban contrasts, this internship invites you to explore a surprisingly graphic city, where modernity and architectural heritage coexist with elegance.
From the Atomium to the facades of the European Quarter, via the rehabilitated industrial volumes of Tour & Taxis, Brussels becomes a real playground for learning to simplify, compose and assert a strong photographic vision.
Here are some examples of photos taken with different devices: digital, film, and smartphone.
Why this internship is unique
Brussels offers a rare mix of contemporary and historical architecture, ideal for working with minimalist visual writing.
The city is compact, accessible on foot, and bathed in a particularly interesting light in June — perfect for precise work on shapes, textures and contrasts.
This internship was designed as a complete immersion, alternating between field shooting and analysis time to progress quickly and in depth.
