In short

Why choose Holiday and city session in Leipzig?
Leipzig is the only city here with industrial halls you are actually allowed into — the Baumwollspinnerei rents out rooms that anywhere else would have a fence around them. That is what decides how a Holiday and city session session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Leipzig and shoots across Saxony all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Baumwollspinnerei, the window to aim for is weekdays during the day, in north light. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Leipzig look like?
The typical route runs 60 min and stays on foot. We start at Baumwollspinnerei and move on to Karl-Heine-Kanal und Stelzenhaus. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops without getting into a car, and the walk between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
