I participated with curiosity and high expectations in the Workshop that just ended in Comacchio. Organisation was precise, accurate and overall perfect. Vieri’s teaching is technically perfect, clear in his explanations and always available to answer questions and clarification requests coming from a harmonious group of people with different expectations and levels.
Personally, I am very satisfied by this experience, certainly something I’d love to do again; I am particularly satisfied with the suggestions and especially by the “photographic” inspiration that it transmitted me. My expectations have been fully met!
I have been exploring and photographing the moody, melancholic and deeply touching landscapes of Comacchio since 2012, going back multiple times since. Centuries of man-made activity combined with the forces of nature resulted in incredibly inspiring landscapes, perfectly suited for minimalist and conceptual photography, making Comacchio one of my favourite destinations ever for my personal work. Comacchio’s landscapes may feel still and immutable, but the forces of nature are constantly, silently and rapidly at work changing them, making each visit full of surprises. More, Comacchio is practically unknown and unspoiled by landscape photographers, making it an ideal destination to create powerful, personal work in peace. The foggy, moody winter weather of the Po’s Delta region completes the magic appeal of these landscapes, making Comacchio a must for lovers of minimalist landscape photography!
Designing your Minimalism in Comacchio Residency, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 5 of which in Comacchio so far, I created a completely new, “vertical” Workshop concept covering everything you will need to know, from photographing any given location in a personal way to finding and developing your own, from working in the field to editing and processing your photographs, to creating a Portfolio.
All our years of experience exploring the intimate, touching landscapes of Comacchio and the river Po’s delta make sure that we have an unparalleled wealth of location, all personally selected and curated by me, which we will have the time to revisit as much as needed to help you create a strong, original Portfolio showcasing your vision of these inspiring minimalist landscapes in the best possible way.
Never changing hotel will give us the opportunity to do advanced post-processing sessions every day and edit your photographs, whether digital or film, to get the most of their potential while staying true to your vision, and I will offer you unique insights on how I create my personal work, develop and edit it.
Designed to be the ultimate, “vertical” Workshop for those wanting to go deep into understanding, interpreting and bringing these intimate, touching and minimalist landscapes of to life, your Minimalism in Comacchio Residency will be a truly unparalleled photographic and learning experience!
