VENICE

LONG EXPOSURE · SEASCAPE · CITYSCAPE - PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

26. - 29. NOVEMBER 2026 · LAST PLACE

JOIN ME FOR FOUR UNFORGETTABLE DAYS IN THE ENCHANTING CITY OF VENICE - A TRUE PARADISE FOR FINE ART AND LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY. TOGETHER, WE WILL IMMERSE OURSELVES IN ONE OF THE MOST PHOTOGENIC CITIES IN THE WORLD, EXPLORING ITS BREATHTAKING URBAN LANDSCAPES, ICONIC CANALS, TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE, AND MINIMALIST SEASCAPES AT THE EDGE OF THE LAGOON. VENICE OFFERS A UNIQUE BLEND OF HISTORY, ATMOSPHERE, AND VISUAL POETRY, MAKING IT THE PERFECT SETTING TO CREATE EXPRESSIVE, ARTISTIC IMAGES WITH A STRONG EMOTIONAL IMPACT.

THROUGHOUT THE WORKSHOP, YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO MASTER THE CREATIVE USE OF NEUTRAL DENSITY AND GRADUATED FILTERS TO TRANSFORM BUSY SCENES INTO CALM, MINIMALIST COMPOSITIONS. I WILL GUIDE YOU STEP BY STEP THROUGH MY COMPLETE WORKFLOW - FROM SELECTING THE RIGHT FILTERS AND CALCULATING PRECISE EXPOSURE TIMES, TO COMPOSING POWERFUL IMAGES AND REFINING YOUR ARTISTIC VISION. WHETHER WORKING WITH EXPOSURES OF JUST A FEW SECONDS OR EXTENDING THEM INTO SEVERAL MINUTES, YOU WILL GAIN THE CONFIDENCE TO USE LONG EXPOSURE TECHNIQUES INTENTIONALLY AND EFFECTIVELY IN A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS.

NOVEMBER IS ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL TIMES TO VISIT VENICE. THE CITY OFTEN REVEALS ITSELF THROUGH SOFT MIST, DRAMATIC LIGHT, AND THE FAMOUS ACQUA ALTA, WHEN THE LAGOON GENTLY FLOODS THE STREETS AND SQUARES. THESE UNIQUE CONDITIONS CREATE A DREAMLIKE, ALMOST SURREAL ATMOSPHERE, TURNING EVERYDAY LOCATIONS INTO EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHIC SCENES. WE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EARLY MORNINGS AND QUIET MOMENTS, WHEN VENICE FEELS TIMELESS AND SERENE, ALLOWING US TO FOCUS FULLY ON CREATIVITY WITHOUT THE USUAL CROWDS.

TO ENSURE AN INTENSIVE AND PERSONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE, THE WORKSHOP IS LIMITED TO JUST FOUR PARTICIPANTS. THIS SMALL GROUP SETTING ALLOWS FOR INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE, DETAILED FEEDBACK, AND MEANINGFUL EXCHANGE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORKSHOP. YOU WILL NOT ONLY REFINE YOUR TECHNICAL SKILLS, BUT ALSO DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF COMPOSITION, VISUAL STORYTELLING, AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ELEVATE YOUR LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY IN ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING AND ATMOSPHERIC LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD.

WE BEGIN WITH AN OPTIONAL COMPLIMENTARY MEET-UP AND PHOTO SESSION ON WEDNESDAY AT 3:00 PM WITH SHOOTING FROM THE ICONIC ACCADEMIA BRIDGE. THIS RELAXED INTRODUCTION GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, DISCUSS YOUR GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP, REVIEW EQUIPMENT, AND CAPTURE OUR FIRST LONG EXPOSURE IMAGES IN ONE OF VENICE’S MOST BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS AS THE AFTERNOON LIGHT SOFTENS AND TRANSITIONS TOWARD EVENING.

THE OFFICIAL WORKSHOP BEGINS ON THURSDAY AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 AM AT PIAZZA SAN MARCO AND CONCLUDES ON SUNDAY AROUND 2:00 PM. EACH DAY WILL START EARLY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BEST LIGHT AND THE QUIETEST MOMENTS OF THE CITY. WE WILL PHOTOGRAPH THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WITH GUIDED SHOOTING SESSIONS IN CAREFULLY SELECTED LOCATIONS, AND CONTINUE UNTIL SUNSET, ALLOWING US TO WORK WITH CHANGING LIGHT, ATMOSPHERE, AND MOOD FROM MORNING TO EVENING.

THIS EXTENDED DAILY SHOOTING SCHEDULE ENSURES THAT YOU GAIN EXTENSIVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS — FROM SOFT MORNING MIST AND REFLECTIONS TO DRAMATIC SKIES AND WARM EVENING LIGHT. BREAKS WILL BE BUILT IN THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR REST, IMAGE REVIEW, AND DISCUSSION, ENSURING A BALANCED AND PRODUCTIVE WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE WHILE MAKING THE MOST OF OUR TIME IN VENICE.
