Photograph the beauty of Italy by improving your technical and artistic level
Milan, the commercial capital of Italy, will be the starting point of this Italy Photo Tour for visiting the many iconic places that only in Italy can you find.
Together with your tutor you will discover picturesque places, take amazing shots as well as perfect your photographic technique and consequently your style. Photo tours are much more than the alternative to tourist trips. In fact, they are designed exclusively for photographers. This way they can visit those destinations where they can take extraordinary photographs. Above all, respecting their own needs and timelines.
Lakes, hills, villages and cities will be the privileged subjects of this Italy Photo Tour. Whatever your favorite genre in these intense days you will practice with most of the existing photographic genres. You will be able to alternate between landscape photographs, street photography, architecture and portraits.
Then, in the evening, a festival of lights and reflections will grab your attention until you choose the best shot, set up the tripod in front of you and take the perfect shot, the one you've been looking for a long time or even better, the one you never imagined even existed.
WELCOME TO YOUR SPECIAL PHOTO TOUR
A breathtaking adventure that will take you to the most enchanting and iconic places in northern Italy.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL
We will pick you up at the Milan airports around midday.
DAY 2: MILAN TOUR
We will take you around the city to get to know the most characteristic neighborhoods. Piazza Duomo, Brera, Isola, City Life, Savona and in the evening the Navigli where you can sip a tasty aperitif while waiting to take pictures at sunset.
DAY 3: COMO LAKE
Full day to visit most of the villages overlooking the lake. Menaggio, Tremezzo, Cernobbio, Bellagio, Briennio, Nesso, Lenno, Argegno, Varenna. We will use the ferry to go from one shore to the other.
DAY 4: OLD BERGAMO
This is the ancient part of the city of Bergamo. Here the walls that surrounded the old village perched on the hill are still intact. Inside, medieval buildings line the typical stone streets, and the whole evokes a magical atmosphere of yesteryear.
DAY 5: PAVESE HILLS
The morphology of these hills give rise to wonderful, unique landscapes. From their ridges one can admire the most striking views that span 360 degrees. They are also famous places for the typical dishes that are served with extraordinary wines from the rows of vines grown on these very slopes.
DAY 6: TO CHOOSE
On this day you can choose one of the destinations up to 3 hours' drive away from Milan that you can visit in a day, namely Venice (3h), Cinque Terre (3h), Bologna (2h), and Mantua (1,3h). If you wish and by booking in time, it is possible to stay in Cinque Terre extra days at a cost of €185.00 per day per person (minimum 2 people).
DAY 7: EDIING SESSION
This is the day dedicated to processing the shots taken during the previous days. You will learn how to select images to get a collection of shots ready to be displayed in an exhibition or to publish a book.
DAY 8: DEPARTURE
We will drop-off at the Milan airports around midday.
The duration of the Italy Photo Tour extends from Sunday afternoon (4pm) to the morning of the following Sunday (10am) for a total of 8 days and 7 nights. As above is just an outline schedule to let you know how the week is organized, which will surely be different from the previous and the next. So many factors come into play: weather, light, length of days at different times of the year. Therefore, to ensure the best conditions for the workshop to take place, the schedule of days may be subject to change.
