"I have now seen quite a few of your videos regarding photography and they really fueled my passion for getting out there with my newly bought Leica M10 and get to experience and learn to make good use of it. I like your simplistic and no nonsense approach to taking pictures - especially coming from a renowned professional like you. And it makes perfect sense to me. I will try to be more daring, actually taking and sharing a few photos with others to both learn but above all gain the experience that will make me get a bodily sense and immediate understanding of my camera. Very educational."

"I joined Thorsten on one of his Toronto workshops. I found it inspiring and easygoing. No nonsense. If you need a lot he gives you a lot, if you need just a little he will push you along on the right direction and let you be. The other members were equally inspiring to me. No matter the level of proficiency we all shared a common passion, and it was great to sink into that camaraderie as a group, trusting on a good guide to keep things real."

"I read your book on composition and it really gave me an appreciation for black and white photography. I never dreamed I would want to create black and white photos. I enjoyed everything else in your book too. Now I just need to learn how to use light (soft light) for capturing images. I really need help in that department."
