Venetian Secrets Photography Workshop
Join our exclusive five-day photography retreat in the enchanting city of Venice and stay in a exclusive historic residence, located in the heart of the city close to the iconic San Marco Square. Inspired by the Venetian wisdom, „I segreti più segreti di Venezia sono quelli che si custodiscono da soli“ this retreat will enable you to uncover the city’s self-guarded secrets and capture them through your eyes.
This workshop draws from over 20 years of photographing in Venice and building relationships. Therefore, our workshop retreat has its focus entirely on quality, from capture to preparing and carefully curating a portfolio.
The goal of this retreat is to take time on location, allowing us to observe, to revisit and to build a much deeper, more meaningful connection. Over the space of 5 days participants will be able to create a collection of carefully curated, beautifully crafted original photographs that reflect their very own vision.
Truly an in-depth experience that will transform you as a photographic artist and is designed to deepen your connection to history, art, and photography.
You’ll be able to explore Venice’s less-traveled paths with expert-led tours on foot and by water taxis, guided by professional photographers as well as locals who know just about every hidden gem and side canal there is. We’ll be starting early morning to get the best of the light before we find ourselves in an authentic café for breakfast.
There’ll be both free time to simply wander through the subtle mysteries of the city and to get lost in the numerous side streets as well as visits of Venice’s iconic museums and famous art collections accompanied by art historians and discussions on the experienced - further strengthening your visual storytelling, you're understanding for composition and light.
Fine drink on a private rooftop and dining in two one of the city’s fine restaurants. None of the usual tourist traps, of course, instead authentic Venetian cuisine, you’ll only find with the help of some friendly locals.
Each day will be filled with practical shooting sessions, personalized critiques, and enlightening discussions on visual storytelling, ensuring an immersive learning experience.
Truly an in-depth experience that will enrich and transform you as a photographic artist.
