Destination

Three days in the Dolomites to live an immersive photographic experience in the summer season, when the mountains offer intense colours, flowery meadows, grazing light and a great variety of landscape situations.

The Dolomites are one of the most interesting destinations for landscape photography: In just a few kilometers, you can pass from wide valleys to alpine lakes, from woods and streams to rocky walls illuminated by the light of dawn or dusk.

The workshop will be dedicated composition, light management and planning photographic outings. We'll work in the field to understand how to read a scene, choose the right shooting angle, manage foreground and background, and enhance the conditions of the moment.

Weather permitting, and visibility permitting, we may also consider a session dedicated to night photography and the Milky Way, taking advantage of some of the area's most evocative locations.

Our base will be near Cortina d'Ampezzo, a strategic position that will allow us to move easily between iconic locations and more hidden corners.

Learn more about your experience

It will be three unforgettable days spent with a professional photographer and a small group of enthusiasts. The instructor will guide you step by step, sharing his technical and practical knowledge to reveal the best secrets of landscape photography. The days include outings at dawn and dusk, with scouting and practical interventions during the central hours to optimize timing and light.

On the field we will deal with shooting techniques basic and advanced to obtain creative and high-impact images: multi-exposure, HDR bracketing, panoramas and focus-stacking. After sunset we will hold moments of review and comparison of the shots taken and sessions post-production aimed at file optimization. Small groups ensure individual attention and immediate feedback.

Before departure you will receive a logistics briefing with details on times, recommended equipment, and practical advice for making the most of autumn conditions.

Photographic activities

The activities are carried out using a practical method: theory on technique and briefing on daily activities, a trip to the spot with individual support and a field debrief during the session to analyze the results. The added value is the photographer's experience: knowing the right spots, reading the local weather forecast, and anticipating the best lighting moments makes the difference between a good photo and a memorable one.

On the field the tutor will help you in framing, managing highlights and shadows, and applying advanced techniques (multi-exposure, bracketing, focus stacking). The exercises are tailored to the group's skill level: beginners will follow a guided path, while more experienced photographers will delve into creative solutions and advanced workflows.

Technique, light and night photography

During the workshop we will alternate field trips, theoretical lesson and editing session. We'll cover composition, exposure, choosing the right focal length, using a tripod, reading the histogram, and planning outings based on light, weather, and the sun's position.

On the field We'll work on image construction, positioning with respect to the natural lines of the landscape, and the use of golden light, fog, and atmosphere. When conditions allow, we'll also explore techniques like multiple exposures, HDR, and focus stacking.

In the editing part We'll see how to manage exposure, merging multiple shots, noise reduction, and color management, with the goal of obtaining clean, consistent files ready for publication or printing.

Weather permitting, we will also evaluate a dedicated session to night photography and the Milky Way.
