The Location
The Photography Days on Tour by Foto Erhardt bring the world of photography directly to the branches – including Essen. Together with selected partners, a versatile event awaits you with current technology, exciting activities, and personal exchange.
On September 18 and 19, 2026, the branch at Flachsmarkt will become a meeting point for photography enthusiasts. On-site, you will meet experts from various brands who will share their knowledge, answer your questions, and give you valuable firsthand tips.
A special highlight: In free workshops and photo walks, you can apply your knowledge directly, discover new perspectives, and try out the latest equipment yourself. This way, photography is not just explained, but experienced directly.
Additionally, you have the opportunity to have your camera professionally checked and cleaned at the free Check & Clean service – ideal for starting new projects perfectly prepared.
It will be hands-on – testing technology, expanding knowledge, and gathering new ideas. Anyone who loves photography is in the right place here.
