Destination

Il Parco nazionale Gran Paradiso si estende su 70.000 ettari di territorio d’alta montagna, tra gli 800 metri di fondovalle e i 4.061 metri del Gran Paradiso. Il parco di sviluppa in 4 vallate e occupando due regioni. Si tratta del parco nazionale più antico d’Italia, istituito il 3 dicembre del 1922.

Dal punto di vista naturalistico si tratta di uno dei parchi più interessanti d’Italia, con ben 68 specie di vertebrati di cui 52 mammiferi e 101 uccelli nidificanti. Tra questi il più significativo è senza dubbio lo stambecco, simbolo del parco, ma oltre a lui è possibile osservare anche il camoscio alpino, la volpe, la lepre variabile, l’ermellino e da pochi anni anche il lupo. Fra gli uccelli da sottolineare la presenza dell’aquila reale e del gipeto.

From a photographic point of view the park has no equal. The breathtaking environment, in full Alpine style, offers wonderful views and details. The great density of animals greatly stimulates photographic creativity, giving us the opportunity to experience truly unforgettable moments. In winter the park is completely covered in snow and ice. A silent and wild park that each of us should know.

Details of the tour

Immerse yourself for four days in the nature photography of the Gran Paradiso National Park, surrounded by the magical winter atmosphere. We will explore the best areas of the park, looking for suggestive scenery and animals in the splendid snow-covered alpine valleys.

The park offers breathtaking environments ideal for photography, especially in winter, when it is possible to observe and immortalize numerous species including ibex, Alpine chamois, foxes, variable hares, golden eagles and bearded vultures. A professional photographer will be at your side, sharing technical and naturalistic experiences to optimize the use of equipment and improve your photographic skills.

Throughout the day, we will learn basic and advanced shooting techniques to achieve creative images. After sunset, we will analyze the day's shots and do post-production sessions to optimize the files.

The objective is to provide participants with knowledge of biology and photography, to practice this passion with respect for nature and with adequate technical skills to take excellent photos in any situation. It will be an intense and engaging experience, which will make you discover a new dimension of nature photography.

Le sessioni fotografiche si svolgeranno al mattino e al tramonto, principalmente con attività di fotografia itinerante. Esploreremo i luoghi più iconici del Parco, immergendoci in un’esperienza in armonia con la natura.

Le giornate intense ci terranno sul campo dall’alba al tramonto, con sessioni pratiche sulle tecniche di ripresa base ed avanzate per ottenere immagini creative e uniche. Ovviamente come in ogni workshop, dedicheremo una parte del workshop per svolgere una lezione di post-produzione completa, per ottimizzare ogni scatto dalla riduzione del rumore, gestione dei contrasti, colori e esportazione per la stampa e per il web.

In addition to capturing beautiful photographs and having an unforgettable experience, the focus of this workshop is to showcase the field approach of experienced professional photographers, revealing the secrets of stalking and wildlife photography.
