WHY CHOOSE MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP ?
Unlike most companies offering photography workshops and tour, I’m expert in fine art and landscape photography. I represent an international standard of quality in terms of photography workshops tuition and tours. I running workshop from many years and my works has been recognize with internationally awards.
What will do in the Workshop
The goal of the workshop is to stimulate participants to develop their individual creativity.
Through a series of performances aimed at investigating the different aspects that contribute to the creation of the photographic image, the perception of color, the control of geometries, the weight of the elements in the compositional structure.
Making visible what is invisible “is the leitmotif that characterizes the artist’s ten-year research, who has made the landscape one of his privileged themes, focusing in particular on its ideal dimension. Only through the photographer’s intellectual schemes, and thanks to the representation structure conceived by him, the forms existing in reality find their raison d’etre and their expressive force.
What to expect
My Photography Workshops are small, usually with a maximum of 5 people. Therefore, I will spend time with you individually and mix up the groups regularly, so everyone gets a fair share of my time. Sometimes we split into groups of two and meet up regularly.
We will explore a visual approach and techniques including layering, good use of the environment around you, along with introducing compositional elements that will add depth and detail to your images.

So, it allows a global experience, 24 hours a day, from early morning shooting to the end of the day review. Therefore, the workshop not only focus on the technical aspects of photography, but also on local uses, integrating cultural approach and behaviors. Through the photographer’s gaze, it aims to offer a new perspective of traveling.

Invest for skills and experience
I think the best reasons to attend a photography workshop is that you can learn how to make better photos. So i believe that investing in experiences is a much better investment than investing in gear. Also you have some benefit that you don’t find on line or for free. In fact, attending a workshop you can gain distilled wisdom about photography from the instructor.
