TESTIMONIALS

I was drawn to Andrea through the images on his website, especially the compositions in the Dolomites. As a technically-biased photographer, I like to be around others with an appreciation of the technical side of photography. Having said that, I also like being with photographers who have a strong artistic side, which is still something I am still trying to develop myself. Finally, I like being with those that can help me get the best out of post processing. Andrea ticked all three boxes for me and then completed my expectations by knowing the area, in my case the Dolomites, as a native. Of course, a photography tour is also about culture, food, drink and making new friends; and this is where I found Andrea’s personality and local knowledge really added value. I came away from my 2024 Dolomites workshop with greater insight into the ‘softer side’ of photography, ie artistry rather than the technical side. Critically, I came away having got to know new photography friends and with a collection of RAW captures, that I will be post processing for some time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrea and I’m personally looking forward to joining one of his workshops in the future.

The Dolomite workshop by Andrea was very well organized and one of the most helpful that I have attended. Andrea is very passionate about photography and was great at explaining how to make use of light & shadows during sunrise and sunsets, lines & curves, symmetry and in general composition while capturing the shots. He made sure to answer everyone's questions while on location or during editing sessions. On occasions when the weather was non-cooperative, Andrea made sure to plan around it by either setting up more one-on-one editing sessions or making necessary changes to the outings schedules to be able to enjoy the days. I truly benefited from Andrea's personal attention to help with improving the compositions, camera settings for high dynamic range, and helping with creating an impactful photo by teaching many editing skills. And to top it off we had an amazing group of participants who shared many great laughs and wonderful stories. Thank you Andrea and Sabrina for a wonderful experience!

I recently attended the Autumn Dolomites workshop and all I can say is that every day was different, special and memorable. Andrea is not only a genius in landscape photography but an amazing and thoughtful teacher of his craft. He did not hesitate in sharing with us all his tips and tricks in nailing the perfect shot but his passion for photography and his artistic eye were a gift to all of us. Each day in the beautiful Dolomites required some hiking – some were more difficult than other days – but Sabrina was there to assist me and hike at a slower pace since I was not as adept as most of the people in our group. She was very patient and kind and we had a lot of laughs along the way but she certainly made sure I arrived at each site with a lot of time to spare. Our dinners each night were fantastic because being locals in the area, Andrea and Sabrina knew where the best foods were to be had. Our group was a mix of like-minded and extremely talented photographers from different parts of the world and we all simply had a wonderful time! Our post-processing and one-on-one editing sessions with Andrea were most invaluable to me. I learned more than what I had expected - from composition to settings to interplay between light and shadows. The review/critique session on the final day was indeed an integral part of the workshop and has truly enhanced my photographic knowledge. Andrea and Sabrina had put together an extremely well-organized and outstanding photography workshop and I cannot thank them enough. I will not hesitate to join them again in the very near future.

Tina Tovar Dias, USA
I had a wonderful trip with Andrea, Sabrina, and the other participants in the Dolomites Autumn Workshop 2024. It was well-organized - from lodging to the photography spots and post-processing. Andrea not only guided us to locations but also addressed our needs and challenges during the shoots, from camera settings to composition. Whenever I was unsure, Andrea gave advice and techniques that improved my work. I learned a lot from this experience. In addition to shooting, we had post-processing sessions. Andrea was very patient, reviewed all our work, and provided constructive feedback. We had opportunities to share and work together, and Andrea helped me view my work from different perspectives, which was really helpful for me. I truly enjoyed and had a great time in this workshop, it exceeded my expectations.

Leung Chi Wai, Hong Kong
It was a memorable experience, with some challenging weather, with up to 40cm of snow falling in 24hrs, caught everybody by surprise. Think Andrea & Sabrina coped exceptionally well, having to retreat to lower ground and arrange special transport back to our hotel. This is when local knowledge came into its full, finding us alternative locations to photograph and explore. Andreas passion for the Dolomites came thru in his talking to us, and Sabrina was there to backup and assist and keep an eye on the one’s who were much slower walkers. Thank you once again for an experience of a life time!

Tim Burgess, UK
I have to say that you two are a very good and efficient team, you did everything possible to make sure everybody in the team enjoyed the trip and went home with the images they came for. The photography tips and guidance you provided throughout the workshop were invaluable, and I felt so much more confident capturing the landscapes. Andrea’s hands-on support was especially appreciated when I faced difficulty with the hikes, and both of you were so patient with me, helping me get the shots I wanted. It was a fun group of people, and the whole experience was memorable!

Ying Jiang, Canada
I participated to a Fall Dolomites workshop with Andrea and Sabrina. To say the least, the weather has been challenging with an unexpected dump of snow for that time of the year. With their deep knowledge of the area, they were both able to work around and at the end of the day we had a very good week. The accommodations were first class and Andrea’s photography skills are top notch. Without imposing himself, Andrea is always available to help you achieve your photography goals. I always learn something in his presence or in watching his videos.

Guy Raymond, Canada

I will always remember this workshop. The breathtaking locations raised my expectations; the scenes were truly captivating. The company was fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Andrea and Jeroen were exceptional in their field, always providing valuable insights and fresh perspectives. I've come back home with improved photography techniques and post-processing skills. There are still new places in the Highlands to visit (and old ones to revisit), so I'm looking forward to joining their future Iceland workshop. I'm deeply grateful to both of them for making this workshop such a memorable and safe experience.

Tung-Leng Lau, USA
Recently returned from a week in the Highlands of Iceland with Andrea. Had a fabulous experience. The Highlands are extraordinary and offer great photo opportunities. Extremely remote. I’d been to Iceland for a week prior to the tour, and it was a whole other world in the Highlands. Inaccessible to the average vehicle, we found remote and stunning settings at all times of day. Amazing light at one in the morning, as the sun flirts with sunset but never disappears entirely. I had some stellar views from a mountain top at sunset! Thanks so much to Andrea and Sabrina for hosting this opportunity and offering the guidance needed to make the most of this amazing setting.

David Manfield, USA
If you’re considering a photography workshop, I highly recommend this one in the Icelandic Highlands. Everything was expertly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without worrying about logistics. The long summer days gave us incredible flexibility, and the workshop leaders—Andrea, Jeroen, and Sabrina—were fantastic, always there to offer guidance and support. They took care of all the details, from navigating tricky roads to keeping us prepared for whatever weather came our way. It made the whole experience so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I also learned a lot, both during the editing sessions and from casual conversations about photography. I had an amazing time and would definitely join another workshop with this team!

Xabier Bilbao Berrojalbiz, Norway

The workshop has been a blast. This is the first professional photography workshop that I've participated in, and I came away with such a positive experience. The first thing I was impressed by are the details in your Welcome Guide for participants, which among other things, tells us exactly what we should pack for the specific environment of the cold mountain top. Your attention to detail also shines through during the workshop itself - for example, I was not aware of the procedure to let the camera acclimate inside the backpack after shooting in extreme cold to avoid condensation - and to remove the memory card and batteries. One area of my photography that I was struggling with was making compelling images when faced with clear sky conditions. It is easy to get good images when the sky gives us colorful sunrises and sunsets with the right type of clouds, but I was always discouraged when the forecast is clear. During your workshop, I learned much more about the nuances of light, and quality of light that could be present during blue hour even when the sky is cloud-less. I learned to recognize the shades of pastels that can look great in an image, especially in telephoto compositions, and how the different moments during blue hour affect the details and separation in a scene, thanks to your brilliant explanations and demonstrations. I think the results of this eye-opening experience will show itself not just in the images I obtained from this workshop, but in my future outings as well.

Tony Chen, USA
Andrea’s YouTube channel was among the first that I had subscribed to when I purchased my Fujifilm XT4. His knowledge of the Fuji system and experience with landscape photography is what drew me to his channel. He explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and put into practice. When I discovered that he and Sabrina held workshops, I knew I’d be attending at some point. Visiting the Dolomites had always been a dream of mine since I was a child. When I found out that there was an upcoming workshop in the Dolomites, I jumped at the chance to attend. I reached out to Andrea and Sabrina to attend the Dolomites - Lagazuoi workshop in late 2023. I wanted to gain a better understanding of composing shots in difficult and ever changing conditions. Andrea gave me a better understanding of how to shoot in rapidly changing light during blue hour at sunrise/sunset. Something I thought I understood but now even more so. I also learned some valuable tips for post processing in capture one. Looking at the photos I took, I am in awe of what I was able to capture with his help. I’m truly inspired to continue on my photography journey. And I am truly grateful for Andrea for sharing his knowledge. I highly recommend that anyone looking for an epic experience to attend a workshop with Andra and Sabrina. They’re the best.

Herbie Brady, USA
The Lagazuoi Winter workshop was a formidable experience on the nature side with the fantastic scenery of the Dolomites during winter season, on the human side by meeting and sharing experience with other passionate photographers and of course on the photography side where we learned a lot during those 3 days. Andrea is a passionate teacher, and he is able to explain in very simple terms the challenges of technical aspects of photography. This was a hugely enriching experience for me and my photography. I’m still admiring the images I took there and I can’t wait to practice more with the lessons learned with Andrea in Lagazuoi.

Sébastien Nunes, Belgium

I took the 2023 Dolomites Workshop with Andrea because I enjoy hiking in the mountains and I wanted to learn how to take better photographs of my adventures. Andrea’s Dolomites Workshop delivered: not only did I learn a lot about the technical side of landscape photography and composition, I also got to put it into practice in the mountains and in post-processing sessions with Andrea and the group. It was a fun and rewarding experience: it improved my photography and it gave me the chance to visit a beautiful part of Italy. I highly recommend this program.

Jeffrey Ellis, Canada
I've always struggled with finding impactful compositions in the field. That was probably the most important thing that I was looking to gain from this workshop. It was great to be able to bounce ideas off of Andrea and hear his critiques and suggestions of the compositions I was finding. It was also great to be able to see his process of setting up a shot. Andrea's incredible passion for photography shines through in every aspect of the workshop. The post processing sessions turned out to be so much more than I had anticipated. He was willing to sit with us for hours working through images and really helping to understand how to bring out the absolute best in what we captured. I definitely feel that I left the workshop a better photographer. Outside of the photography aspect, the workshop was extremely well organized. You can tell that a lot of time and thought went into every aspect. The hotels, locations and meals were excellent. Andrea and Sabrina were amazing and so welcoming. During the hikes or hanging out during the day they were both wonderful to talk to and get to know. You can tell that they've spent time building relationships with the local restaurants and hotels. This made the entire experience feel more personal and special. Again, their passion shows through in every aspect. If you are on the fence about doing a workshop with Andrea my recommendation is to sign up. You will not be disappointed. I can honestly say that this exceeded every expectation I had and I am so thankful to have had this opportunity.

Chris Ciesa, USA
For me, Andrea’s workshops are the best way to visit amazing places to engage in spectacular landscape photography while spending time with fellow like-minded photographers. His expertise and local knowledge is a guaranteed way to end up with plenty of photographic opportunities which I would otherwise not be able to create myself. I was impressed by how much he cared about the group and each individual both out in the field while taking photos and then later in the edit room to get the most out of it. The tour was extremely well planned and organized by Andrea and Sabrina. I’m so glad I was able to join Andrea’s workshop and will make sure to join more in the future.

Florian Nöhring, Germany

What an adventure exploring the stunning Dolomites with Andrea and his team! Our workshop was packed with jaw-dropping locations throughout the week. The small group format created a great opportunity to make new friends and provided ample time for our expert guides to provide plenty of individual hands-on time. Both Andrea and the team are down to earth, friendly, and have a great sense of humor. They tailored their advice and guidance to each of our skill levels and goals, whether on location or in post shoot editing. After spending the week with them, I feel like I’ve taken my photography to a whole new level. Andrea and his team treated us to an unforgettable photography experience I’ll never forget!

Tom Lalor, USA
My first-ever photography workshop was with Andrea and his team in the Dolomites and all I can say is it exceeded my expectations in every conceivable way. Andrea and his colleague are seasoned pros who make you feel at ease right from the moment you meet them. Everything was taken care of so we just had to focus on capturing images and enjoying the experience. Their local knowledge meant that no matter the weather conditions we always got to shoot something special. I learned so much and came away more confident in my photography skills than ever before. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Paul Deegan, Ireland
It was with Andrea and his colleague that I booked my first photographic workshop, carefully reading the itinerary several times but still full of wonderment at what lay ahead. We were going to a beautiful country and staying in some of the most spectacular mountains on the planet. What more could I ask for. There were six of us in the group and we all got on exceptionally well, like we already knew each other. What I gained the most from day to day was the confidence to use the camera equipment, to better understand the technicalities of my machinery, and if you ask then you'll get no end of help from the men up front (in the van that is). There's no telling what nature will provide you with from sunrise to sunset, the awesome moments make up for the times you might not be able to get out. One thing's for sure though, you're visiting some of the most beautiful and iconic photographic spots on Earth.

Stephen Rainbird, New Zealand

I can't thank Andrea and his team enough for my experience in the Dolomites. As a workshop newbie I had no idea what to expect, but they were both as friendly and personable as they were talented. The whole trip went seamlessly from start to finish, and their experience of the area meant there was never a wasted opportunity. As a result of this workshop, I have a better understanding of my own creative style, and I can continue to work on it in future thanks to the input, knowledge and guidance of two excellent workshop leaders. It was everything I could have asked for. Very happy.

Paul Baran, UK
The workshop in the Dolomites was an experience I'll never forget. The workshop consisted of great food, great accommodations and of course stunning vista after stunning vista. Andrea and his team build not only an atmosphere conducive to learning, but also building camaraderie between other workshop participants. Their friendly and open attitude, in addition to the optimal group size, lended itself to a very personal and productive experience. They help you see an image all the way through from the field to the digital processing. I can also say Andrea is the best driver in Italy!

Francis Phan, USA
Andrea and his team offers workshops done the right way. Everything is very well planned and executed to put you in the right place at the right time to maximize your photo opportunities. They freely share their considerable knowledge of photography and post processing, working one-on-one with all the participants to get the most out of your images. Andrea and his team work tirelessly to create a fun and productive adventure. You will not be disappointed.

Rudy Edlund, USA

What a week ! The workshop in dolomites was an incredible experience. Andrea and Andy are two amazing, experienced and passionate photographers from whom I learnt a lot either in the field or during one to one editing sessions. They also are perfect dolomites guides, as they know inside out the area they adapt every day shooting session depending on the weather and light conditions, so we could have the most of the places we hike to. Last but not least, accommodations and food were amazing ! Special shout-out for the buffet in alpe di Siusi. I could not recommend enough to participate to one of the workshops.

Loïc Belleguie, France
I had a fabulous week on the Dolomites workshop with Andrea and Andy. With their great knowledge of the area, we got to the most amazing locations at the best time to photograph them. Their guidance on photography, both in the field and in image processing, was invaluable. The group was excellent—a diverse set of people who share the same passion—and everyone contributed to the great fun we had.

Ido Scharf, Israel
I recently attended a Dolomite workshop lead by Andrea and Andy. Each day they would study weather forecasts and select locations that would most likely provide the best shooting opportunities. In the field, they were constantly checking in with each of us to see if we needed help with our compositions. Between shooting sessions, we would meet in the middle of the day to evaluate our photos and receive tips on how to process our pictures. Andrea and Andy are accomplished photographers and teachers. They bring high energy to the workshop, and tailored their comments / suggestions to the skill level of the photographer. The workshop was truly a great experience and I highly recommend them.

Tom Stokes, USA

Andrea and Andy are professional teachers in addition to being professional photographers. They share their knowledge skillfully and appropriately, whether in the field capturing images or in the classroom processing them. My field work improved dramatically due to the advice I received from the instructors. Andrea and Andy helped me remember to focus on composition, exposure and focus when capturing images; to pre- visualize what data the post-processing tools would need in order to convey the mood of the setting and my reactions to it. Andrea and Andy have different approaches to post-processing. What they demonstrated was pertinent to each one of us, no matter our personal style. We visited many beautiful locations during the workshop. The food was great, the accommodations first rate, and the companionship warm and friendly. Shared meals were always fun, with many interesting conversations going on about a large variety of subjects. I came home with fond memories of our adventures in the dramatic Dolomites. A month later and I can still feel the exhilaration of standing high up in the cool air with the peaks all around. I have many keepers, a better skill set, and the intention to one day do another workshop with Andrea and Andy.

Tom Rutherfoord, USA
I joined Andrea and his team for a great workshop into the Dolomites in 2022. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The locations were beautiful and well selected and the session were always successful and a lot of fun. Andrea and Andy led the workshop with great enthusiasm and technical skill. They were always ready to help or answer any questions that came up. The editing sessions were also really helpful and every participant got personal editing time with the professionals. The accomodations and the food were also an big highlight and really amazing! I highly reccommend this workshop and will definitely participate again!

Nicolai Duda, Germany
I had an amazing week with Andrea and Andy in the Dolomites. The workshop provided the right balance between time in the field, rest during harsh daylight and post processing sessions incl. teaching their different styles, helping participants in their approach to post processing and also a critique session of the final results. Both Andy and Andrea deeply care about their workshop participants and involve the group in decision making process. They have always checked on everyone to ensure that the participants get the most out of the workshop. Both have a relaxed approach, however not at the expense of not taking the workshop seriously. The accommodation was very good and the food excellent. What more could you ask for? Overall I would highly recommend their workshop.

I'm delighted that I attended the Iceland in Winter workshop, it was an amazing experience that I'll never forget and a wonderful way to experience the country for the first time. I'm pretty sure that won't be the last time I ever visit Iceland. I'm very grateful to Andrea and Andy for the preparation and guidance for the trip, it made being a participant so easy and these trips are such a wonderful diversion from normal life.

Dermot Russell, Ireland
I’ve been on a few workshops before, but none as ambitious as 8 days in Iceland in the winter with an impressive itinerary. So, I may be forgiven some excitement tinged with a little apprehension. You may have all kinds of expectations from an ideal photography workshop. A brisk daily pace, detailed knowledge of the locations and conditions, an adaptable programme, good accommodation in the right places, determination to help you get the best shots, willingness to share ideas on composition, to name but a few. Not only do Andrea and Andy deliver on all counts, but they go out of their way to give you some photo opportunities and personal experiences that few will offer. What you won’t expect is the warmth and friendship from two top photographers that echoes in the group as a whole and makes the experience more than just about photography.

Roger Care, UK
I had a marvellous week in Iceland with Andrea and Andy. I saw and did things I never would have seen or done without the opportunity they gave me. Both Andrea and his colleague were absolute models of helpful and considerate support. It was far more than a client/provider relationship: they went well beyond that in every way. It was an unforgettable experience that was exciting and enjoyable, and which stimulated me to advance my photographic skills. And I have the images that will stay with me forever, thanks to them. Highly recommended

Chris Horner, UK

A big kudos to Andrea and Sabrina for their well-planned, organized, and structured approach. I acquired a lot of photography knowledge I didn't have before, and I also left with a deep desire to travel more. I learned how to edit my photos better, and photographing in extreme conditions. It was definitely challenging, but the results were truly worth it. I would definitely recommend this experience. It's the fastest way to learn landscape photography, while also having a great time in an incredible location. Plus, the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals is priceless. It is a nerd's paradise for photography!

Nikitas Efemidis, UK
I wanted to take a moment to thank you Andrea and Sabrina for a wonderful workshop. It was challenging, educational, fun, and so inspirational. At first, I was feeling discouraged about my pictures, thinking they were useless. This workshop was a transformative experience for me. It changed the way I approach photography, from shooting to editing to the way I see my pictures. Thank you Andrea for sharing so much of your knowledge and yourself. I recommend him without reservation, and I will definitely return for more!

Francesco Platania, Slovenia
Some say if you want to earn money with photography, you should put down the camera and start teaching... this isn't Andrea & Sabrina at all! They are motivated by their passion for the craft and are in it with all their heart! While (of course) the storytelling retreat features guided excursions, it is different from a regular photography workshop, instead, it is about the connective tissue in between your hero shots. Andrea & Sabrina introduce the concept and then gradually build upon it throughout the workshop, accommodating both inexperienced and seasoned shooters at the same time with ease. The course material is an important aspect, but it is only half of the equation: Podere Trafonti, the base of operations is a fantastic experience in and of itself - the people, the food, the house, and its beautifully decorated rooms. In a mere few days, it has come to feel like a second home away from home. Combined with carefully planned day trips (including some insider locations off the beaten "Instagram path") it makes for a truly unforgettable experience.

Alex Bartok, Germany

First, as a background, I am a beginner and it was my first time using a proper SLR to take photos during my first photography workshop in Tuscany, Podere Trafonti !! Andrea and Sabrina with their exceptional professionalism and friendly and compassionate characters have navigated my novice capabilities through an amazing experience and learning process. During this unforgettable 5 days storytelling workshop I was able to learn about my camera, the different setups and adjustments, and techniques of taking shots while understanding composition. In addition, I learned some editing techniques and how to plan and organize the different shots for storytelling. Definitely, I was very lucky to have my first experience and workshop in photography with such great experienced, and fun guys. I am sure it will not be my last but just the start of many to follow if they put up and accept me in their coming ones.

Sherif Barakat, Switzerland
My wife and I joined Andrea and Andy for a wonderful workshop in Tuscany Spring 2022. Their style and ability to share techniques on capturing the beautiful locations we visited was amazing. They were always available to answer any questions and were clearly very passionate about teaching new techniques, whether behind the camera or editing. By limiting the size to six people, everyone had individualized attention from both tutors tailor fitted to each one’s needs and experience. Our group was wonderful, and we now consider them our friends. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean, and the Italian cuisine was fabulous. I would highly recommend this Workshop. Thank you again for an amazing experience and for imparting your knowledge.

Christine and Peter Fownes, USA
Last month (February 2020) I attended my first workshop led by Andrea and Andy. We traveled to the wonderfully photogenic Lofoten Archipelago off the northwest coast of Norway. I am a very experienced landscape photographer and have participated in a good number of workshops with other leaders. In my experience, Andrea and Andy rank at the very top of all workshop leaders I have encountered. First, they are both terrific guys who know their craft and how to impart knowledge to others. Second, they really know Lofoten and, consequently, got the six participants to the right places at the right times. Third, they were quite skilful at working around the very challenging weather conditions we encountered. Lastly, but importantly, they are great fun to be around. I was able to capture many wonderful images during the workshop and I am looking forward to doing more workshops with Andrea and Andy in the future. Thanks to both of them for a great workshop.

Herb Fixler, USA

Andrea and Andy's Lofoten workshop exceeded my every expectation. I booked their workshop with a hope to stretch my creative and technical photography talents, while immersed in epic vistas. In this and so many other ways, it didn't disappoint. I left their workshop with an order of magnitude improvement on my photographic approach — from site selection to composition to creative post-processing. Andrea and Andy's preparation, patience, and dedication to small groups provided ample 1:1 mentorship time over the 6 days. And while you can never predict the weather in any trip you take, Andrea and Andy had a Plan B & C for every shoot. Even with rainy and snowy days, we had those epic vistas to learn in. So while this was my first immersive workshop of any sort, it definitely will not be my last. Nor my last trip with Andrea and Andy. I can't wait to get in to the next photographic adventure with them.

James Stewart, USA
I recently traveled to Lofoten, Norway to participate in a photo workshop led by Andrea and Andy. I have participated in over a dozen workshops in many countries. This was the most enjoyable and productive of all of them. Andrea and Andy did extensive planning to make sure we were in the right place at the right time to get great photos. Rain, sleet, and snow didn't deter us at all. No time was wasted. They fostered a spirit of camaraderie and good cheer. If they sensed we needed help with a shot or a technical issue, they were immediately helpful. Their photo review sessions offered the opportunity to learn new skills in Lightroom and Photoshop. I can't wait to travel with them again.

Stephen Sholl, USA
Andrea and Andy’s Iceland workshop exceeded all my expectations. The small group and high instructor to participant ratio ensured we all had our endless questions answered and received the help needed on location to get great compositions and learn new skills. On days when the weather did not cooperate they were very proactive in adapting plans and locations to make the best of the conditions and light. A workshop with Andrea and Andy is more than just coming away with pleasing images - it’s about great food, great accomodation, wonderful company and conversations, and learning new processing and shooting skills in amazing locations. They both love what they do, and that makes all the difference.

Hamish Cattell, New Zealand

What an adventure! Andrea and Andy provided hands-on expertise, and plenty of smiles, food, laughter, and geekiness to fill a photo book or two. This workshop stretched my imagination and pushed me to reach a little further in pursuit of my art, and I owe a debt of gratitude to both Andrea and Andy for providing such a comfortable, creative atmosphere to express myself in one of the most spectacular landscapes anywhere!

Rodney Drewery, USA
This was an adventure of a lifetime…the Iceland workshop checked all the boxes. Both men are top professionals. We experimented with ways to improve our compositions; think outside the box and be creative. Our group hiked through iconic landscapes and captured stunning images. The one-on-one post processing sessions were comprehensive giving us new skills to improve our images. Andrea and Andy’s patience and kindness inspired us to be better photographers.

Terry Herbeck and Terry Harrison, USA
Andrea and Andy were top leaders, the best one could hope for. Philip and I enjoyed their guidance, knowledge and companionship. Both are foremost warm and caring people, whose priority is to make the group happy - flexible, changing schedule according to weather patterns and what the group wanted. We were also lucky to have a great group for the Iceland tour. Would love to join them again.

Odile and Philip, Australia

Great experience in great places with great people. Andrea and Andy are terrific photographers and guides and fantastic human beings. From the choices of locations to photograph, to their patience and attention to the needs of the individual participants, they bring experience, knowledge and organization to the workshop experience. Their humanity and kindness allowed the group to relax and interact in an extremely pleasant and open way. Totally enjoyed the whole affair.

Ico Guarini, USA
Location, Light, Looking. These 3 L’s are the key ingredients of this wonderful workshop. Andrea & Andy take you to the most beautiful locations at moments with the most beautiful light. Furthermore, they help you to look for interesting compositions. And finally, in the post-processing sessions, they help you to find edits that make your final picture look good. Personally, my eyes got better at seeing abstract compositions.

Steven Warmoes, Belgium
Just finished a Winter Dolomites Workshop - I learned a lot, not just from Andrea and Andy but also from other participants. The locations were superb and exciting. There is good time allowed for post-processing and the trip is always packed with adventures!

Pamela Jones, UK

With a mixed feeling of "will my skill level be high enough for the workshop?" and "hopefully the pros are not too bad even for stupid questions“ I flew to Venice. Less than 10 minutes after the first meeting, I knew that I didn't have to worry about such topics. Andrea and Andy are two very likeable people who welded the group together in no time. Within the 7 days, the photographic level of the whole group improved immensely. Every detailed question was answered calmly. The locations were perfectly planned and adapted to the respective weather conditions. The hotels were comfortable and relaxing, which was very pleasant as the days were long and the nights short. Unfortunately, the week passed far too quickly!

Even if I live near to the Dolomites and visited the place a few times before, this workshop was an amazing experience. Andrea and his partner managed to take us to incredible places and give us all the support to capture stunning images. Being out at the right time to the right places shows, how well prepared this workshop was. Thank you Andrea for an incredible week.

The outdoor photography workshop in the breathtaking Italian Dolomites, led by Andrea and his team, was a life-changing experience. Their personalized instruction catered to both experienced photographers and novices like myself. With their expertise in various camera systems, they provided meaningful critiques that expanded our knowledge. Andrea and his team's passion for photography was truly inspiring, as they tirelessly sought new angles and perspectives. The accommodations and meals were excellent, and their friendly demeanor made for engaging conversations. As a complete novice, I now feel confident in pursuing my photography goals. This workshop was truly unforgettable, and I extend my deepest gratitude to Andrea and his team for this rewarding learning experience.

Just finished a Winter Dolomites Workshop - I learned a lot, not just from Andrea and Andy but also from other participants. The locations were superb and exciting. There is good time allowed for post-processing and the trip is always packed with adventures!
