Make Italy Your Classroom
Make spectacular Italian locations your on-site photography classroom.
Formal instructional presentations happen daily, but the greatest amount of time is spent photographing and learning together in the field.
Critique sessions of your images provide you with immediate feedback of your progress and increase the learning opportunities for everyone in our small-group experience.
I put more than 40 years of professional photography and college-level photo teaching experience to work to insure that you go home with new ways of seeing, great images and unforgettable memories!
