Retreat to Move Forward

Since 2009, I’ve been teaching photography workshops in Italy. Time and time again, my workshop participants have asked for more in-depth critique of their photographs, ideas on how to be more creative with their photography, how to get their work out into the public eye through books, exhibitions, publications and more, along with instruction in post-production software like Adobe Lightroom. This retreat is the answer to those requests.

Chianti – the area that gives its name to Italy’s most famous wine will be our home for a fun and relaxing photographer’s retreat. Over the years, many of my workshop attendees have asked for more in-depth critique of your images, discussion of creative process and idea generation and post-processing of your photographs in Adobe Lightroom (or similar) and these few days in a gorgeous Chanti hill town will assist us in doing just that.  Click here for more info.

Dolomites Workshop

A landscape photographer’s dream location! The majestic Italian alpine vistas of the Dolomite mountains will be our destination for a week of landscape photography. Meeting up in Venice, we’ll move on to some of the most dramatic subject matter in the world as sun and clouds sculpt these jagged peaks. We’ll finish up in Verona, exploring one of Italy’s most refined small cities (and take in an opera in a 1st Century Roman arena!) Click here for more info.

2023 Dolomites Workshop Student Slideshows

Epic. Stunning. Otherworldly. Majestic.

These were all words that my inaugural Dolomites workshop students used to describe the mountains, meadows, lakes and peaks of the locations we visited and photographed this spring. We had some beautifully dramatic weather, but it only seemed to rain when we weren’t out photographing and the storms left behind some wonderfully photogenic clouds. From our base in Corvara in Badia, we took gondolas and funiculars to high mountain areas, and then spent a night in a rustic high-mountain Rifugio (refuge) to be able to get early light the next morning. We finished our week in Verona, where we learned about the origins of that ancient town and, finally, took in the opera Aida in Verona’s 1st Century Roman amphitheater.

Epic, indeed.
