The School
Ours is a true “Traveling Photography School”, hence we organize courses in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Our motto is “No limit to creativity”. It doesn’t matter if you have never taken a picture or if your camera has been resting in the closet for several years: the world is our set, so let’s go out there and shoot. With us you will visit some of the most picturesque sides of our planet while learning the secrets of photography.
We say no to exasperated technicality, as we believe that photography art has little or nothing to do with the latest super high-tech camera, but is indeed the result of a mind process relating both to the outside world, what you see, and to your inner world, sensibility, emotions and creativity along with the ability to truly seize the moment. We don’t promise a magic wand, however with us you will learn how to use your introspection and visualization to awaken your creativity and translate it into a photograph.
The teachers
In a world where improvisation has become the rule, and so called teacher literally spring up like mushrooms, we offer the expertise and experience of real professionals who have been working for several years within the photography field. Having worked exclusively as photographers, all of our teachers have a solid professional journalistic background. Each of them has his own field of expertise, his own experience, his own store of knowledge and his own exciting story made of journeys, emotions and adventures.
