What is included in the workshop fee?

• Pre-workshop support. From the moment you book your spot, you will be added to the Whatsapp group so we can all stay in touch to help you prepare for the workshop. Around two weeks before the workshop, we'll also have a 1h group video call to discuss any final questions before we meet.

• Three days of guided street photography

• Hands-on tuition. Practical demonstrations, personalised feedback and continuous guidance throughout the workshop.

• Daily image reviews. Every day we'll review a selection of your photographs together, discussing composition, storytelling, editing choices and opportunities for improvement.

• Small group experience. The workshop is limited to six participants, ensuring plenty of individual attention and the opportunity to ask questions at any time.

Not Included

• Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements and personal expenses, including transportation, accommodation, meals, travel insurance and any other costs not explicitly listed above.
  

Is this workshop suitable for beginners?

Yes. The workshop is open to photographers of all experience levels.

The only requirement is that you feel comfortable using your camera's basic functions. This allows us to focus on photography itself, rather than spending time to figure it out how a camera works.

What language will the workshop be conducted in?

The workshop will be delivered in English (unless otherwise stated in the workshop details).

For mixed groups, one-on-one sessions only can be provided in Italian.

If all participants in a session speak Italian, the entire workshop can be conducted in Italian.

Is this a photography tour?

No. This is a hands-on educational workshop, not a guided photography tour. There are no staged scenes, hired models or pre-arranged photo opportunities.

Everything we photograph happens naturally in the street, allowing you to develop the skills needed to recognise and capture authentic moments wherever you travel.

Will there be theory or mostly practical shooting?

The workshop combines both.

We'll alternate classroom sessions, practical shooting and daily image reviews, with every theoretical concept immediately applied in real situations on the streets.

Will there be in-depth photo editing sessions during the workshop?

While I will share some of my basic editing processes, the workshop is not designed to cover in-depth photo editing.

What happens after I book my place?

Once your booking is confirmed (and full payment is received), here is what to expect:

1. Immediate Confirmation: You will receive a confirmation email with your booking details.

2. Private Group Access: You’ll receive an invite to a private WhatsApp group with fellow participants. It’s a great way to introduce yourself, coordinate travel, and ask quick questions and stay in contact.

3. Pre-Workshop Video Call: About two weeks before we meet, we’ll host a live group video call to review the itinerary, answer last-minute questions, and finalise logistics.

4. Detailed PDF & Logistics Pack: Following our video call, you’ll receive a PDF guide packed with practical details, including exact meeting points with maps, and handy tips for arrival.

5. Direct Support: Have individual questions about your gear or travel arrangements? You can reach out to me directly via email or private message anytime.

What camera gear should I bring?

A digital camera you're already familiar with is the best option.

One prime lens, ideally a 35mm full-frame equivalent.

If you prefer using a zoom lens, a 24–70mm is an excellent alternative.

Keeping your equipment simple allows you to focus on observation rather than thinking about gear.

If you're unsure about your equipment, feel free to get in touch before the workshop.

Can I shoot with film?

Of course.

However, I strongly recommend bringing a digital camera, even if you also shoot film. Daily image reviews are one of the most valuable parts of the workshop, and using a digital camera allows us to analyse your photographs together while the experience is still fresh.

Do I need a laptop?

Yes. Bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic (recommended) installed, or any editing software that allows you to import, select and review your photographs. We'll use it during the daily review sessions.

Also make sure that you have enough storage space on laptop.

What other equipment should I bring?

To make the most of the workshop, I recommend bringing the following accessories:

• External hard drive (2TB or larger) for backing up your photographs.

• At least four memory cards, so you can shoot throughout the day without worrying about running out of space.

• A USB hub or adapter, if your laptop requires one for connecting memory cards or external drives.

• Spare camera batteries (at least four are recommended) and all the necessary battery chargers.

• Charging cables for your camera, smartphone and any other electronic devices.

• Laptop charger and smartphone charger.

• A power bank, which can be very useful during long shooting days.

Having all your equipment organised and fully charged before each day will allow you to focus entirely on photography.

Should I arrive a day before the workshop starts?

I recommend arriving in the workshop location at least one day before the workshop begins. This gives you time to settle in, explore the area and avoid any unnecessary stress before we meet on the first morning.

Where should I stay?

After booking your spot, I'll send you information about the most convenient areas to stay so we will be close to each other and to our classroom and daily meeting points. This gives you the flexibility to choose accommodation that best suits your budget and preferences.

How physically demanding is the workshop?

We'll spend around 7–8 hours each day walking through the city.

Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and you should be prepared for long but rewarding days. You're always free to take a break if needed, but keep in mind that stepping away means missing part of the shooting or review sessions.

How many participants are there?

The workshop is limited to six participants.

Keeping the group small allows me to provide personalised feedback, spend time with each participant individually and create a relaxed atmosphere.

Will my photographs be reviewed?

Absolutely.

Image reviews are an essential part of the workshop. Every day we'll analyse a selection of your photographs together, discussing what worked well, what could be improved and how to strengthen your visual storytelling.

The goal isn't simply to select your best images, but to help you understand the decisions behind them so you can continue improving after the workshop.

What if I'm shy about photographing strangers?

You're not alone.

Many participants arrive with exactly the same concern. Throughout the workshop we'll gradually build confidence through practical exercises and discussions, helping you photograph people respectfully, naturally and without unnecessary pressure.

Most people are surprised by how much more comfortable they feel by the end of the three days.

To reserve your place, you can either pay a €200 deposit or the full workshop fee.

If you choose the deposit option, the remaining balance will be automatically charged to your selected payment method on the date shown at checkout (see "View payment plan").

The exact payment date is always displayed during checkout in your payment plan. In most cases, the remaining balance is charged approximately two months before the workshop.

For workshops announced within a shorter booking period, the remaining balance may be charged five weeks before the workshop start date.

If, for any reason, the final payment cannot be processed by the due date, your booking will be cancelled, your deposit will be non-refundable, and your place may be offered to another participant.

Can I cancel my participation?

Yes. If you're unable to attend the workshop, please let me know as soon as possible. If I manage to fill your place with another participant, I'll happily refund your deposit (or full payment) you have made (minus processing fees).

If your place remains vacant, the deposit (or full payment) will be retained, as I keep the group intentionally small and every reservation affects the workshop's organisation.

If, for any reason, I have to cancel the workshop, you'll receive a full refund of your payments made (minus any payment processing fees, if applicable).

As with any trip, I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance and booking flexible or refundable transport and accommodation whenever possible. I cannot be held responsible for reimbursement of travel expenses in case a workshop is cancelled.
