Castello Ceconi / Venice Training
ONLY A COUPLE OF PLACES LEFT - BOOK NOW & DON'T MISS OUT
Commencing Monday 9th September
Castello Ceconi is the stunning venue for our exciting Portrait Photography workshop located at the foothills of the Dolomite mountains. It is about an hour and a half drive away from Venice. If you’ve ever attended any of my workshops or classes you love the action packed, full of information, and fun atmosphere. This promises to be the best workshops I have ever hosted, together with the excellent Justin Harris.
Our album supplier Graphistudio owns Castello Ceconi, it has been completely refurbished to the highest standards inside and out promising an amazing venue for our portrait photography training workshop.
The weeks workshop with our models will include both indoor studio set ups as well as outdoor shoots in and around the Castle, nearby waterfalls and church, our agenda may include night-time portraits making the most of the castles floodlit exterior. Also during the week we’ll be talking about Photoshop retouching, upselling and demonstrating Photoshop and Lightroom live edits of images we have taken that day.
During the week we will make a visit to the nearby Graphistudio album factory for an informative tour and look at the album production process, the handmade album production process has to be seen to be believed and even if you’re not yet a Graphistudio customer, you can’t fail to be impressed by the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every album, various unique portrait products and Wall Art. Graphistudio are no longer "just" an album company, they make some of the finest wall products around, using cutting edge technology.
The workshop includes all lunches and welcome dinner one evening, all food is prepared by a local restauranteur making use of traditional and local Italian foods, this will include some alcoholic drinks. Cost of training is just £875 for a weeks education! Not included are flights (Low cost flights to Venice around £70 return) and hotel accommodation (The local hotel is approx. £40 per night). Transfers to and from the airport are included.
There will also be the option of extra days shooting and learning in Venice during the weekend following the training. Details will be provided on request.
The great thing about this particular workshop is that the group will be split into two, so each small group will have more personal attention from myself and Justin, so all your questions can be answered, and you’ll also have more hands on shooting time with our models.
