Did you know that many people buy a fancy camera thinking it will magically give them incredible photos?
Here's the truth: it's simpler than a $3000 camera. And its not Photoshop either.
This is the secret:
Learn how to see in a new way. It's all about your vision. Not your pixels.
Why Rome in Winter?
No crowds.
Discovering how to take photos is a true joy without hordes of humanity blocking your view with selfie sticks.
What will we do?
You'll get one on one hands-on guidance in Light, Composition, Angle, and Timing.
Only 5 people.
This is for you if you would love to see Italy but don't want to go solo.
This isn't for you if you want to have a daily regimented schedule with no free time to breathe or allow this new dimension to melt into your being. This will ignite your heart and mind and suddenly you'll be seeing in a new way.
You'll come home with remarkable photos that you took with any camera you have (yes you can shoot with your iphone or android)
Are you lusting for Italy?
The best time to see it is after the Holidays when the crowds disappear.
And I guarantee it will be one of the most fun adventures of your life.
And you'll take the best photos you've ever captured with me, a 35-year award winning photographer in Palo Alto, California, the heart of Silicon Valley and worldwide.
