One-Day & Two-Day Photography Workshop Tours in Taiwan

Discover Taiwan through the eyes of a professional photographer.

Whether you're visiting Taiwan for the first time, an experienced photographer looking for new subjects, or simply someone who wants to take better photographs while traveling, join professional photographer Henry Westheim for a personalized photography workshop tour in Taipei, Taichung, or anywhere in Taiwan. 

These aren't ordinary sightseeing tours. They're designed around photography, exploration, and the visual character of Taiwan—giving you the opportunity to photograph places, people, architecture, landscapes, culture, and everyday life while learning how to create stronger and more compelling images.

Henry has lived in Asia for more than 25 years and has photographed in more than 30 countries. His work has appeared in publications including National Geographic Traveler, Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes Traveler, Discovery.com, Fodor’s, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal Asia, Financial Times, L'Equipe, The Guardian, Lonely Planet, and many others.

Henry is also available for travel outside of Taiwan and has extensive experience traveling and photographing in Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, Cambodia, and other Southeast and East Asian countries.

Choose Your Destination

TAIPEI — Urban Taiwan

Explore the visual contrasts of Taipei—from historic neighborhoods, temples and traditional markets to modern architecture, street scenes and vibrant nightlife.

Possible photography experiences can include:

• Historic streets and traditional neighborhoods
• Temples and religious architecture
• Markets and street food
• Street photography and candid moments
• Modern architecture and cityscapes
• Taipei's iconic skyline
• Night photography
• Sunrise and sunset photography

TAICHUNG — Culture, Architecture & Everyday Life

Discover a different side of Taiwan through Taichung's neighborhoods, architecture, cafés, markets, temples, cultural spaces and surrounding landscapes.

The workshop is customized around your particular photographic interests—from street and documentary photography to architecture, portraiture, food, culture and travel photography.

ANYWHERE IN TAIWAN — Your Photography Adventure

Want to get outside the major cities?

Let's create a customized photography adventure anywhere in Taiwan.

Depending on your interests, destinations can include mountains, coastlines, historic towns, fishing villages, temples, tea-growing regions, indigenous communities, cultural festivals, traditional markets and other locations throughout Taiwan.

The goal is simple: find extraordinary photographs in extraordinary places—and sometimes in completely ordinary ones.

ONE-DAY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

A full day of seeing Taiwan through a photographer's eyes.

Perfect for travelers who have limited time but want to experience Taiwan photographically.

Your day will be customized according to:

Your interests • Your photography level • Your destination • Your camera equipment • Your schedule

We'll explore selected locations while working on practical photography skills such as:

• Composition
• Working with natural light
• Exposure and camera settings
• Street photography
• Architectural photography
• Landscape photography
• Portrait and environmental portrait photography
• Capturing authentic moments
• Finding compelling subjects
• Shooting in difficult lighting conditions
• Creating stronger travel photographs

Most importantly, you'll learn how to look—how to recognize interesting light, compositions, moments and visual stories before you even raise your camera.

TWO-DAY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Go deeper. See more. Photograph more.

A two-day workshop allows us to go beyond a single destination and explore a broader range of Taiwan's landscapes, culture and visual environments.  We can also discuss image selection and basic editing, as well as critique of images.

Day One might focus on urban, cultural and documentary photography, while Day Two could take us into nature, architecture, historic towns, mountains or the coast.

We can also plan around the best photographic conditions, including early-morning light, golden hour, sunset and nighttime photography.

A two-day experience is ideal for photographers who want a more immersive introduction to Taiwan—or who want to build a cohesive travel photography portfolio during their visit.

More Than a Tour. A Photography Experience.

One of the advantages of traveling with a professional photographer is that the itinerary can be built around photographic opportunities rather than simply checking destinations off a list.

We'll look for:

Great light. Interesting people. Strong compositions. Unexpected moments. Authentic places.

And I'll help you recognize those opportunities for yourself.

Whether you're using a DSLR, mirrorless camera, compact camera or smartphone, the workshop can be adapted to your equipment and experience level.

You don't need to be an experienced photographer.

You simply need curiosity, comfortable walking shoes, and a desire to see Taiwan differently.
