“Vivacious Venice”
A HANDS-ON TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP | April 22-25, 2025
Join me and KelbyOne Instructor and master of long exposure photography, Mimo Meidany for a travel photography learning experience in one of the world’s most beautiful, and captivating cities in the world: Venice Italy!
Venice is a captivating destination for photographers, with its iconic canals, picturesque gondolas and historic buildings, it creates mesmerizing reflections that are perfect for capturing timeless images. Architectural gems like St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace provide dramatic backdrops, while the winding streets and charming piazzas offer endless opportunities for candid street photography.
PLUS: we are planning a day trip to the nearby Domities mountains (Italy’s side of the Swiss Alps, which are incredible and super photogenic!).
Venice is a photographer's paradise that inspires creativity at every turn, and my guest instructor, Mimo, lived right in Venice for years and knows the best (and little-known) shooting spots. And the food. Did I mention the food? Well, it’s Italian food at its best, and Mimo knows all the best restaurants).
