What to Expect on This Creative Journey:
- A 4-hour or 8-hour walking photo workshop guided by a top professional with over 20 years of international experience
- Focus on the quality of shots, not the quantity of stops
- On-the-spot coaching to boost your artistic vision and technical skills
A 4-Hour (Half Day) Photo Walk and Workshop will include some of these fascinating stops*:
- St. Peter’s Square – the grandeur of the Vatican under Bernini’s majestic colonnade
- Castel Sant’Angelo – a dramatic fusion of imperial Rome and papal power
- Piazza Navona – where baroque art meets lively street scenes
- Pantheon – the awe-inspiring ancient temple and architectural wonder
- St. Ignatius Church – explore a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and Renaissance Art, where light and silence meet
- Backstreet Alleys – Where the intimate charm of Rome comes to life
- Trajan Markets – atmospheric ruins where ancient history whispers through the stones
A 8-Hour (Full Day) Photo Walk and Workshop will include some of these fascinating stops*:
- St. Peter’s Square: the Vatican’s heart, and Bernini’s sweeping colonnade
- Castel Sant’Angelo: from the Roman Empire to the Popes’ fortress an impressive example of the history of Rome.
- Piazza Navona: Rome’s most elegant piazza, where Bernini’s fountains, and Borromini’s church compose timeless scenes
- Pantheon: The most outstanding and best preserved Roman ancient temple and architectural masterpiece.
- Baroque Churches: A visit to at least two sacred jewels of chiaroscuro, where golden altars and frescoed ceilings become silent, breathtaking subjects of your vision.
- Roman Forums: The very foundation of a town destined to conquer an empire, with its columns, arches, and temples it still is an evocative place to photograph.
- Trevi Fountain: The magic of marble and motion, as wishes cascade through water and light in Rome’s most enchanting fountain.
- Colosseum: The most famous stadium in history, with its raw power and poetic decay is a must-see place, where shadows and arches evoke the eternal rhythm of history.
- Backstreet Alleys: Rome’s secret poetry and charming life is calmly revealed as we walk through the cobblestone lanes, surrounded by the quiet beauty of ancient buildings and squares, and ever surprising corners.
*Actual stops may vary depending on the group’s rhythm — more time where you find the perfect shot, less where you don’t.

Photo equipment: You can participate in the tour with any kind of equipment you have (Android and iPhone users are also welcome).

Always make sure to have your lenses well cleaned before starting the tour. It would also be good if you could bring along a small kit to clean them, with a microfiber cloth, in case they get wet or dusty as we do the tour. Make also sure to have the camera sensor well clean before the tour. It would be wonderful if you also had either a 35mm or a 50 mm with a low F stop (1.4 to 2.8).
