This photography workshop is every landscape, city and nature photographer’s dream and combines two iconic areas: Venice and the Dolomites. During this 9 day, 8 night tour we will photograph amazing scenery including rugged, snow capped mountain ranges, stunning glaciers, crystal clear blue lakes, charming villages, picturesque churches and farmhouses, as well as the beauty of Venice’s canals, historic buildings and lagoons.

We will spend the first two nights in fabulous Venice where we will start our journey with an informal meet and greet in the afternoon, followed by a sunset, blue hour and night shoot. The next morning we will rise early and make our way to the beautiful island of Burano. This island with its colorful houses is located within the lagoon of Venice and is famous for its lacemaking and curious leaning bell tower. A legend is told that the houses were painted with bright and cheerful colors so that the sailors could spot them easily on foggy days. After our morning photography session, we will return to our hotel, have some time for relaxation, image reviews and post-processing lessons. After lunch we will explore more of Venice’s stunning beauty while photographing iconic locations, canals, and picturesque gondolas. The evening will end with a sunset and blue-hour shot. Our groups usually decide to have dinners together and we select local restaurants to enjoy a typical meal. Our last morning in Venice will start with a sunrise shoot, followed by breakfast in the hotel. After breakfast we will check-out and take a water bus to Marco Polo airport, where we will pick up our car.

Our journey will continue by car to our first destination in the Dolomites close to the Fannes-Senes-Braies Nature Park and one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes, Lago di Braies. We will spend the next 3 nights in this fabulous mountain location and take pictures of deep blue-green waters and rugged mountain cliffs at the best light of the day.

From there we will travel to our next location, where we will spend 3 nights: Europe’s largest mountain plateau- Alpe di Suisi. This Dolomite region is a soul-stirring dreamland for any photographer. Some of South Tyrol’s most alluring villages, churches, and castles reside here. Our photography motifs in this region are endless, behind every corner hides a picture perfect postcard. We will guide you to the best spots to take stunning images of majestic valleys, vertical walls, sheer cliffs, and sun-drenched mountain scapes.

Let us help you capture the best of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lago d’Antorno, Passo di Giau, Carezza, Seceda, Val di Funes, and Passo Gardena. Our tour ends at Venice’s Marco Polo airport and we will say goodbye until next time!

On the West side of the lake, there is a small chapel that was built in 1904. The location has a curious bit of history, in that during World War II a German SS commander chose it as a meeting place for a prisoner exchange to ensure his own safety. We will spend the next 3 nights in this fabulous mountain location and take pictures of deep blue-green waters and rugged mountain cliffs at the best light of the day.

Moderate with some uphill hikes and longer walks so good footwear needed. Otherwise most locations and viewpoints are close to where we will be parked. There may be some walking on uneven terrain which could be wet and muddy, and some locations are hilly. Good sturdy, water resistant boots are advised.

Best place to fly to is Venice, Italy.

The weather can be quite cold this time of year, and the mornings and evenings colder, so bring warm clothes. Ideally layers that you can remove or put on as we’ll be shooting before sunrise and after sunset, in the dark, when it will be colder. Bring wet weather gear and a raincover for your camera equipment.
