The Overgaard Workshop Experience
"At first I didn't realize what I had learned. The editing, and especially the portrait shooting, brought me a lot. In addition, the workshop gave me something new. I dared to submit a picture to a street art contest! The picture has now been chosen for an exhibition along with fourteen others. Thank you for your influence and the inspiration of your books."

I found a new conviction in my photography
"Just want to thank you for the workshop in Los Angeles. When I signed up nine months in advance, I was very down when it comes to my photography. I know I like making images, but I didn’t know what for – why am I making all these images? I found my answers after attending your workshop. I’m doing this for myself, and not for anyone else. After the workshop, I also bought a couple of your books which I read from start to finish. The one in particular that resonated with me is your 'Composition in Photography' book. It reinforces a lot of what I just realized during the workshop, as to why I’m doing all this. Your writing is very positive. Now I have found a new conviction in my photography. And for that, I thank you very much! I look forward to the next workshop that I can attend, and to more of your books.”
C. B. (Los Angeles class)

I got my enthusiasm for photography back ... Just like that

"Back home from the workshop, I wanted to thank you for the London Workshop.
In your publicity material you say, 'My goal is to instill enthusiasm in any photographer and raise his or her skill level, self-confidence and production volume. And I do'.
Well, you did! It was a great pleasure."

The Leica Bubble
"It was really great getting together with you and be in the Leica-bubble for a few days.
I liked the relaxed atmosphere and learning from the group".

In the footsteps of a Master of photography ...
"A common mistake when you fall in love with photography, is to think that buying gear will bring you talent. Not so. When you're serious about photography, you need to devote quite a few hours, a couple days, to learn the craft by observing from someone who has honed his own craft for decades, like Thorsten Overgaard.
I had the chance to be in the footsteps of Thorsten, during a street photography workshop he organized in Paris, and it really opened my eyes on how to have the proper look through my freshly bought (used) Leica. 
It is the kind of experience that "sticks" with you later, for hours of photographic pleasure. Not only did I learn about the technique but I was able to pick up almost on a philosophical level, an appreciation of life & light that is part and parcel of the craft of true Masters."
