Why Venice?
Venice - La Serenissima - is one of the best locations on earth to photograph.
The history, the culture, the architecture, the art, the people, the aqua marine canals and lagoon, the way of life - everything is just so different and it really does have an ‘other worldly’ feel to it. And it's this ‘other worldliness’ that really interests me as a documentary and street photographer. The city gives me lots of potential to shoot a wide variety of street photography against a highly unusual and quite beautiful backdrop.
Together we’ll explore the real, hidden Venice away from the tourists and into the area where the locals live, work and play. My Venice workshops combine street shooting with elements of documentary and travel photography, with expert guidance all the way. What's not to like?
WHICH WORKSHOP?
I offer group and individual learning experiences. Most group workshops last for 3 or 4 days
Monochrome Masterclass: Venice is the perfect city in which to hone your black & white skills, utilising classic Venetian iconography combined with great light and stunning architecture. The next workshop takes place in November 2024 - full details here.
Street Photography in Venice: learn the art and craft of street photography in a place where ‘the unusual in the usual’ or ‘beauty in. the mundane’ is a way of life.
Venice Carnival: every February, ‘Carnevale’ takes over the city. My 3-day workshop is all about the fun, the extravagance, the craziness of Carnevale. This isn’t about shooting cheesy portraits of people in costumes - 100% pure street photography! The next Carnevale takes place in February 2025 = full details here.
‘Venezia Tranquilla’ (quiet Venice): this 3-day workshop takes place in the out-of-season months and it’s all about artistry, atmosphere, mood, light & shade, abstract and detail. This is fine art photography.
The TravelSnappers workshop: I run this 4-day workshop in late February in collaboration with top travel and landscape photographer, Chris Upton. Please see our separate TravelSnappers website for full details.
If you’re looking for an individual workshop I offer 3, 4 and 5 day workshops in Venice. The itinerary is flexible and will be designed around your needs. Please see this page for further information.
