Your Italy, Your Photographs, Your Story

by | posted in: General Workshop Information | 0

"… a place is a story, and stories are geography, and empathy is first of all an act of imagination, a storyteller’s art, and then a way of traveling from here to there." - Rebecca Solnit

When I read the quote above by the writer Rebecca Solnit, I immediately thought about a primary goal I have for my Italy Photography Workshop students:

Tell Your Story

Many people go to Italy and make photographs of what they see there. My workshops take you to the next level, teaching you how to be a storyteller with photographs. So, rather than returning with a folder of random images, you will create a set of images that tell a story - your story - about what you see, feel and respond to, creating a personal response for your time in Italy. I will push you to go beyond picturesque, postcard images and help you tell your own story about these amazing Italian places.

A few spaces remain for my 2017 Italy workshops - click below for more information.

2017 Italy Photography Workshops Announced

by | posted in: General Workshop Information | 0

I'm excited to announce my 2017 Italy Photography Workshops!

I'll be doing four separate workshops in 2017:

Each workshop is limited to 7 participants, so you get lots of personal instructional time. And, since my goal is to have you devote your time to making photographs and immersing yourself in Italian culture, I take care of all the details; all you have to do is arrive in Italy, photograph and learn.

For a sense of what my workshops are like, watch this short video. To see what former workshop students have said about their experience in Italy with me, see this web page.
