One of the BestTours on Tripadvisor. Photo Workshop. Have you ever walked on the streets and saw a moment that you wanted to capture, but you were too scared to take the photograph? Do you want to become more confident shooting in the streets and learn how to better interact with your subjects?

Leaving Venice for a few days. The moon does the waving, over San Francesco della Vigna and San Pietro. Leica, steady as ever. Some goodbyes don’t need words.

Close this app. It’s 5 PM on a Friday. The light is fading, but the city is waking up. Don’t double-tap this photo. Put your phone down, grab your camera, and go shoot the dark. There is more life out there in the shadows than there is on this feed. Go.

Alright, Burano behaving itself for once. Black and white, quiet geometry, shutters doing their thing, and one human exactly where you want them, not where they insist on being. This is why I love small squares of light and patience more than loud colour. Burano doesn’t need shouting. It whispers, then rewards you if you wait. Shot with a Leica, yes. But the real work was standing still long enough for the scene to finish the sentence.

I love Venice most when it’s layered. Columns, light, movement, and the lagoon breathing in the background.

enice Carnival is one of the easiest things in the world to photograph badly. Not because the costumes aren’t incredible, they are, but because most people shoot it like a checklist: mask, portrait, done. Carnival isn’t a programme. It’s theatre moving through a real city. If you want photos that feel timeless, you need light, background, rhythm, and patience.
