For this event, we have chosen the Green heart of Italy: Umbria. With its varied landscape, alternating between wide open expanses and dense forests, this region provides an ideal habitat for a wide range of wildlife species.
The event will take place in two distinct environments, each with its own unique characteristics. The first part of the workshop will take place in the oasis's humid area WWF of Lake Alviano, where we will move between huts equipped for observation and photography of avifauna. Here you will have the opportunity to learn the fundamental techniques of photography from a cabin, led by two professional photographers.
The second part of the workshop will be held near the Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve. In this context, we will dedicate ourselves to the search for mammals, exploring the terrain together to identify the perfect place for the stakeouts. We will study together the principles of this photographic technique, immersed in an extraordinary natural environment.
