Lars-Henrik Milert
Accomplished and published photographer
I have been photographing since I was six years old, and over a lifetime behind the camera I have developed extensive experience across a wide range of photographic disciplines. After several years working at Japan Photo in Norway, I recognized a clear need for a more practical and accessible approach to teaching photography. This insight became the foundation for the courses and workshops I lead today. My motto is: “Photography is not learned in a classroom.” With this as a guiding principle, most of the teaching takes place out in the field, where we work hands-on with the camera. Here, we focus on practical details, ask questions, and learn from each other in real situations. A key part of my teaching is helping participants develop the ability to truly “see” their subjects—whether it’s choosing the right angle, understanding light and exposure, or identifying the perfect moment to capture an image. My workshops also allow time for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and the occasional coffee break along the way. I place strong emphasis on personal guidance, ensuring that each participant receives tailored support—whether you shoot with a smartphone or advanced camera equipment. My photographic style is broad and diverse, ranging from urban and landscape photography to wildlife, village life in India, urban decay, and artistic nude photography.
