Your home for the workshop is the wonderful Exe International Palace; a charming, modern boutique style hotel (with excellent wi-fi) located in the heart of Rome, and in walking distance to many of Rome’s most iconic shooting locations, with lots of great shopping and restaurants nearby (and not far from my all-time favorite restaurant, Mimi e coco).
We’ll be shooting each day on location
Then heading back to the hotel for post-processing our images where we’ll learning new techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop; learn new camera techniques; have time for critiques before we head back out to make more gorgeous images. Lots of learning, lots of laughing, amidst the incredible views and scrumptious food of this culinary paradise. After sunset each day you’ll be free to explore the city on your own, and its charming restaurants and cafes.
It will be an extraordinary experience — one that will inspire, inform, stretch you, and challenge you to try new techniques, new ways of thinking, and do things photographically you never thought you could. You’ll come home with lots of stunning images, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Mimo and I look forward to welcoming you to Rome and getting to know you as we spend a few days together making images, learning new techniques, and uncovering The Classic Beauty of Rome.

Activity Level: Light to Moderate
Rome is walking city so we’ll be doing a good bit on foot, and our hotel is situated in a great location with lots of shooting opportunities nearby, but we’ll also be taking local transport for some of our shoots. Workshop Participants should be in good health; wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and be ready for lots of walking and standing for extended periods of time.
Dress:
The weather in Rome in October is beautiful — it’s not too hot with highs in the low 70s F°, but it can get a little chilly at night getting down as low as 53°, so bring at least a light jacket or coat. As with any outdoor event, the weather is somewhat unpredictable, so also be prepared if it rains.

P.S. See how I worked that Italian word in there? While my Italian language skills are, shall we say, somewhat limited (ahem), my fake Italian accent is worth the trip alone. Ask anybody who was at our Venice workshop. ;-)
