Their deep understanding of photography and the Dolomites' natural history will enrich your appreciation of the area's unique ecosystems, providing invaluable insights that will enhance the storytelling potential of your images.
Timing is everything, and this workshop aligns with the transition of fall in the Dolomites. Golden larches line the alpine landscapes of the Dolomites in fall and create a stunning contrast against the rugged peaks and blue skies. This is an unparalleled opportunity to capture the essence of autumn in your photographs and unleash your creative vision.
Our adventure begins in famous Venice, Italy where we'll meet before moving on to the enchanting alpine town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, a perfect base for exploring the heart of the Dolomites. From there, we'll embark on a series of shoots that will take us to the most breathtaking locales in the region. Throughout the workshop, we have thoughtfully selected a range of comfortable lodges in close proximity to the best locations in the Dolomites. This allows us the flexibility to adapt to the ever-changing conditions and maximize our photographic opportunities. Unlike rustic rifugios, our accommodations provide luxury but also flexibility to be in the best place at the best time.

It doesn't stop there though, the Dolomites have so much to offer, expect surreal location after location. Witness an autumn paradise at Giau Pass, where the vibrant hues of orange larches pair with the backdrop of the Dolomites. Strolling through this idyllic landscape, you'll find inspiration in every step, witnessing nature's artistry and capturing it through your lens.
As we ascend to Alpe di Siusi, the crown jewel of the Dolomites, you'll gaze in awe at the awe-inspiring Pale di San Martino and the enchanting Baita Segantini. These are only a few of the iconic places this magical landscape holds. Each day, we'll assess conditions and choose the best locations, but one thing is certain, you won't put your camera down in this land of giants.
