• Eight days and seven nights of on-location photography training with both instructors

• Single-occupancy accommodation at hand-picked 3–4 star hotels across the Dolomites

• If you bring a partner/spouse, rooms can be upgraded to double occupancy for an additional cost.

• Transport throughout the entire workshop in comfortable vans, ensuring easy access to all shooting locations

• A small, focused group of like-minded photographers exploring the Dolomites together (maximum 12 participants)

• A balanced program of sunrise and sunset sessions, guided location scouting, and structured daily fieldwork in iconic mountain areas

• Two instructors working closely with the group, offering hands-on, one-to-one guidance in the field

• Post-workshop online review sessions to help you refine your best images and strengthen your final set

• Access to a private WhatsApp group (opens months in advance) for travel tips, shooting advice, gear discussions, and sharing work

Lunch and dinner are not included. We’ll coordinate plans each day (restaurant suggestions and group bookings where helpful), but participants pay for their own meals.

Flights to/from Italy and personal travel insurance are also not included.

If you’d like to stay in Venice before or after the workshop, we’re happy to help arrange additional nights.

All workshop participants stay in comfortable 3–4 star hotels with single-occupancy rooms and private bathrooms.

If you bring a partner/spouse, you can share a double room instead. In that case, we’ll invoice the additional cost for double occupancy (amount depends on the specific hotels and room availability).

We’ll confirm room preferences after booking so we can reserve the right setup for each base.

We start at Venice Marco Polo Airport on Day 1 (pick-up at 11:00) and finish back at the airport on the last day (drop-off around 15:00).

After you register, you’ll receive a practical info sheet with meeting point details and suggested flight times.

Most days are built around the best light, with a flexible plan that adapts to weather and the group’s pace. A typical day may include:

• Sunrise shoot (early start at a nearby viewpoint)

• Breakfast + rest

• A flexible midday plan (scouting, a short hike, image review, or a break depending on conditions)

• Sunset / blue hour shoot

• Optional evening review or discussion

On transfer days, we’ll move to a new base in the Dolomites. We keep these days efficient and still include photography:

• short stops at scenic locations along the way

• an afternoon/evening shoot near the new base (and sunrise the next morning)

We share the plan in advance so you always know what’s coming next.

Transport between bases and to shooting locations is arranged in comfortable vans, making it easy to reach a wide range of locations without stress. We also plan the logistics so you can focus on photography.

This isn’t a hiking-heavy workshop, but some locations do involve short walks or moderate trails. Expect a mix of steps, rocky paths, and gentle inclines. You should feel comfortable carrying your camera gear for short distances.

There’s also an optional hike of about 1.5 hours for anyone who wants to reach more remote viewpoints. It includes moderate elevation changes but offers some of the best photo opportunities of the trip.

Mountain weather can change quickly, and we plan for that. If conditions shift, we adapt by:

• changing locations to match the light and cloud level

• using forests, lakes, waterfalls, and moody scenes that work well in overcast/rain

• adjusting timing to shoot during the best windows

You’ll still get strong shooting opportunities. description

This workshop works well for enthusiastic beginners through advanced photographers.

You don’t need to be an expert, but it helps if you’re comfortable with basic camera controls (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). We’ll meet you where you are and help you improve your technique and confidence.

If you’re unsure about gear, send us a quick note before departure and we’ll help you pack smart.

Yes — you’re welcome to bring a partner or spouse, as long as we have availability (they take up a seat in the vans).

A non-photographing partner can join the trip at a $1,000 discount compared to the standard workshop fee. They’re welcome to join the outdoor sessions and enjoy the locations with the group, but coaching and tutoring are reserved for registered photography participants.

Accommodation for partners is not included. If you’re sharing a room, we’ll invoice the additional cost for double occupancy (the exact amount depends on the room setup at each hotel).

Please let us know at the time of booking so we can reserve the right room arrangement.

When you register, a $500 deposit will be charged to secure your spot.

The remaining balance will be invoiced about one month before the workshop begins.
