Blue and clear sea, steep cliffs, terraced vineyards on dry stone walls, unspoiled nature,

tiny coloured houses in breathtaking locations high above the sea…

This workshop is the perfect occasion to experience the Cinque Terre, Unesco world heritage site,

together with a professional travel photographer who lives there since 20 years.

You will see some of the most beautiful places from new perspectives. The season

(a period of low touristic flows) has been chosen on purpose for its often beautiful sunsets

and the famous illuminated nativity set positioned in the vineyards above the village.

equipment to bring

The photographic equipment to bring is very subjective and depends on many parameters, that’s why we don’t give fix rules. As a standard equipment we suggest in any case a (digital) SLR camera. To save weight and be as flexible as possible a high quality travel zoom lens (for example 24 – 70 mm) works best. Also a wide angle for landscapes is very useful. Don’t forget to bring your travel tripod for the night pic’s and some special land – and seascapes (remember the remote control and the cover for the viewfinder)! Don’t forget sufficient memory cards (at least 32 GB). If you want bring also a flash. A polarizing filter for the landscapes is often useful and ND filters are very useful for special seascapes.

Please remember that the Cinque Terre have a special morphology – the landscape is steep and requires quite a bit of hiking and walking, a good fitness and surefootedness is necessary.
