FAQs
How many people are on the workshop?
There’s always a maximum of 6 participants. This low tutor-to-student ratio means you’ll get a very personalised experience with lots of one-to-one attention from Brian.
Is hotel accommodation included?
On most workshops, no. Everyone has different tastes and budgets and we find that most people are more comfortable doing their own thing. However, Brian knows Venice extremely well and is happy to advise you on locations.
How much experience do I need?
Whatever your level of experience, Brian will help you develop your skills. He is experienced in teaching photographers who are at different stages on their photographic journey. However, some knowledge of the fundamentals of the basic camera settings would help you progress more quickly.
What gear do I need?
Virtually whatever camera and lenses you have will enable you to shoot some stunning images. As there is a lot of walking on these workshops it's important to be comfortable, you will be carrying your gear all day and footwear and suitable clothing is almost as important as camera gear!
For street photography, less is more! To be able to work quickly and unobtrusively, one camera and one lens works best, typically a 35mm (full frame equivalent) or 28mm. Alternatively a short standard zoom lens of c24-70mm would also work well.
Is the workshop physically demanding?
No. We usually walk around 5-6km each day - but at a very slow pace and with plenty of stops. Apart from the inevitable bridges, the terrain is very flat and walking is quite easy.
