photography workshop Sicily

The unique photography workshop at Sicily (South Italy) of 12 days offers three cities and three different kinds of photography. You can choose 12 or 15 days to go deeper and more personal in your approach.

• Palermo is a beautiful city with many magnificent churches, three markets, a magical Botanical Garden and a monastery with mummies. Very good for street series of people (color or B&), of processions, the diverse cultural population with roots in ancient history.
• Catania with the fascinating medieval fish market has the best opportunities for great portraits and street photography, even storytelling.
• landscapes of the vulcano Etna at 3000m altitude
• Sicily is an island with many different landscapes, quiet old villages and traces of Normans, Spain, France, Arabic culture, Greece etc. Gibellina village was destroyed by an earthquake and now there is art and decay.
  The coast is mostly wild and untouched but sometimes ugly because of industry or house blocks from the 70’s.
