The Carnival season in Venice has just finished and so did my photography workshop there. As we were getting close to the starting date, I started receiving questions from my guests regarding what equipment they should bring and especially what lenses. As this is a frequently asked question, I decided that it would be a good idea to collect my suggestions …
Like a modern Geppetto, Roberto Comin slowly and carefully chips away at blocks of pinewood to make unique creations in his workshop in Venice. Without a shop window and betrayed only by a discreet sticker affixed to an anonymous iron gate, L’isola di Pinocchio is not easy to find. I didn’t know about its existence until a good friend of mine asked …
Who doesn’t love Venice? And who doesn’t love to photograph Venice? For someone who visits Venice for the first time, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities and risk missing some of the best locations. Over the years, I’ve ended up compiling a list of my favorite locations to which I return again and again to photograph them …
This is the second part of my report/review on using the Fujifilm X-T2 while touring the Campania region. Part 1 was published here. After leaving Salerno on Friday morning, we started driving down the Amalfi Coast Road towards Ravello. This is a small town perched atop the cliffs, a short detour from the main road and it offers a fantastic view of …

Most famously the Sella Ronda draws in many visitors to the area as skiers can partake in 26km of skiing around the Sella …
by Bethany Lloyd. The Italian Dolomites have been my home from home for a few years now. Two summers and a winter amongst the Dolomitic limestone peaks have allowed me to see this mountain range in all of its seasons and weathers and because of this it has always stood out as my favourite. It has hugely influenced my photography …

I have been to Venice many times, but for some reason I never took the chance to visit the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, an amazing masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and painting.
