Experience thrilling stunt action up close and develop your photographic skills in a unique environment!
The Location
The German Stuntweek is one of Germany's most spectacular motorsport events: motorcycle stunts, pure adrenaline, smoking tires, and daring tricks on the tarmac of an old airport between Leipzig and Halle. This is exactly where our workshops take place – exclusively, right in the middle of the action, and with full Sony Power, you get access to the paddock & training zone!
It's going to be loud – it smells of gasoline and burnt rubber. If you love action, this is the place for you.
Safety first: For all participants, safety is paramount. Before starting, a mandatory safety briefing will clarify where photographers are allowed to move and how to behave safely within the show zone. Without participating in the briefing, active photography on the premises is not permitted.
