Summer

Workshop dates are based on student presence in Venice

VENICE in Summer! To most ears the words seems synonymous with much heat, so many, too many tourists and so many, photographic opportunities.

Venice is the one city of Italy where summer days need not be spent in darkened rooms, where heat may be defied, and evening glories and the cool salt breath of the lagoon bring delights far outweighing the chance discomfort of fervid noons.

But to enjoy your summer is essential to live in private lodgings.

Then, and then only, you feel the full charm of Venetian magic.

No tourist talk breaks the spell, no dinner-bell curtails your study of sea and sky, and every door can be left open to invite full draughts of air.

We will move around Venice not as tourist but as Venetian (like me). We will try to understand, from the photographic point of view, the Venetians life; we will visit the squeri places where the gondolas are built, the markets, the Bar and the mysterious and hidden places of my unique city.

We will discover the magic of the Light and the Colours of the Venice Lagoon islands, Murano, Burano and, why not, Sant' Erasmo and Pellestrina, unknown islands to the foreigners but well known to the Venetians as supplier of fruits, vegetables and fish for the Venice market and then the beauty of Venice.

In Murano we will visit a glass factory, where we will photograph with low Light trying to discover the art of making glass.

In Burano we will be fascinated from the magic of the Colours and we will deepen study the Composition.

In S. Erasmo and Pellestrina we will be rapt from the magnificent Landscape of the Venice Lagoon.

The date? I leave to you the choice of the day in which you will need to start your workshop.
