Experience the epitome of Europe's landscapes amidst the resplendent beauty of the Dolomites with our exclusive photo workshop. This immersive 8-day/7-night journey is meticulously designed to optimize your landscape photography in one of the world's most beautiful destinations. The Dolomites have become one of the most popular locations on the planet for landscape photography - and rightfully so. This region of northern Italy is dotted with some of the most impressive and jagged peaks in Europe.
The Dolomites, located in northern Italy, boast some of the most impressive and jagged peaks in Europe, making it a paradise for landscape photographers. Prepare to be captivated by the towering magnificence of these mountains as you explore the hidden gems and iconic locations we've handpicked.
To ensure an unparalleled experience, our workshop combines the expertise of our exceptional photo guides with the intimate knowledge of a local Italian guide, both masters of their craft and intimately acquainted with the region. 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 strategically with the bloom of rhododendrons and globe flowers that grace the high mountains of Italy during the summer season. These vibrant blossoms offer the perfect foreground for capturing the rugged beauty of the Dolomites, elevating your compositions to new heights.
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 photographic escapades 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.
One of the highlights of our journey is the exploration of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, where you'll witness the interplay of light on the rugged summits in a scene of unparalleled perfection - it is one of the best spots in all of Europe. This experience is matched by the tranquil serenity of Braies Lake, where the morning mist dances upon crystalline waters, reflecting the majestic peaks and vibrant wildflowers that grace its shores.
It doesn't stop there though, the Dolomites have so much to offer, expect surreal location after location. Witness a floral paradise at Giau Pass, where the vibrant hues of rhododendrons perfectly 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.
Join us on this summer photo workshop to indulge your passion for photography and witness the extraordinary beauty of the Dolomites firsthand. With every step, you'll uncover a new canvas for artistic expression, and with every click of your shutter, you'll capture fleeting moments of light and splendor. Let the Dolomites ignite your imagination and leave an indelible imprint on your photographic journey.

This is a Level 2 trip. We will be focusing on iconic shooting locations throughout the Dolomites, and none of these locations can be shot from the roadside. Fortunately, this means we'll get the chance to see nature in all its glory by hiking an average of 2-3 miles of round-trip hiking per day. Most of our hiking will be 10-15 minutes each direction on well-established trails with 0-500 feet in elevation gain, and our longest hike will require approximately 20-30 minutes.
