MEET AND GREET ON june 2, 2023 at 7 PM in GENOA

Come soak up the Tuscan sun and soak up the Italian culture with Bryan in the first ever offering of this fantastic workshop!

June 3:  We will start this Italian workshop with a full day of shooting in the beautiful city of Genoa, starting in the Piazza de Ferrari.  We will photograph the Palazzo della Borsa di Genova, a towering structure its stone architecture and rounded dome, San Lorenzo Cathedral, the Arco della Vittoria, the Bigo and the famous “Umbrella Street”. We will make time for the neighborhood of Boccadesse, also known as “Fisherman’s District” and possibly the most picturesque part of this lovely port city. 

June 4-5:  On the morning of June 4, we will begin our journey by driving south where we will lodge for two nights in the colorful towns of the Cinque Terre, which translates to “Five Lands” in Italian.  These tiny villages were built upon steep cliffs that line the edge of the Ligurian coast and provide dramatic, breathtaking views and spectacular sunsets.  

June 6-7:  On the morning of June 6, we will continue our journey south, stopping along the way in Pisa and for scenic overlooks and breathtaking views with many beautiful landscape photo opportunities. Once we reach Grosseto we will drive to the northeast, arriving near Siena where we will lodge for two nights in our countryside lodge. On June 7 we will spend time in the historic Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  The medieval architecture, extravagant cathedrals and terraced houses make Siena a photographer’s dream location!  

June 8-9:  On the morning of June 8, we will depart the Siena area and reach our final destination, Florence, where we will lodge for our final two nights of the workshop. Florence is the Cradle of the Renaissance, with terracotta roof tops, hidden courtyards and streets that are alive with historical features and photograph opportunities.  We will be shooting both morning, late afternoon and during Blue Hour during our unforgettable stay in Florence.  Workshop ends June 9, about 30 minutes after sunset. 

We will have a Meet and Greet on June 2, 2023 at 7 PM in the lobby of the *Recommended Hotel B&B Hotel in Genoa where we discuss student goals and objectives, and Bryan will provide an overview and rough agenda for the workshop.
