Venice in a Different Light: Autumn & Winter Twilight and Sunrise Workshops

Venice is a city that reveals its truest self when the crowds disappear, the air grows crisp, and the soft glow of morning or evening light bathes the stones and water in gold and silver. From late autumn to the depths of winter, I offer exclusive 4-hour private photography workshops during the most magical times of day: twilight and sunrise.

These sessions are not for everyone—they’re for those who want to experience Venice in its purest, most poetic form. And yes, there’s still some availability for the upcoming season.

Why Autumn and Winter?

In these cooler months, Venice slows down. The mist rolls in. Reflections on the canals are undisturbed. Tourists thin out, and locals reclaim their rhythm. This is when Venice becomes an intimate stage—perfect for capturing its layered beauty and melancholy elegance.

Whether you’re looking for that perfect fog-drenched alleyway, the warm glow of street lamps reflecting on wet stones, or the quiet majesty of a deserted Piazza San Marco at dawn, these workshops are timed to give you just that.

Who Is This For?

These 4-hour sessions are ideal for:

  • Photographers of all levels looking to refine their use of natural light

  • Leica shooters and lovers of black-and-white

  • Travelers seeking a deeper, quieter connection with Venice

  • Creative souls who want to slow down and observe

  • Anyone interested in storytelling, composition, and mood

We’ll walk together, guided by light and instinct. No rigid route—just the city, the silence, and your vision.

What You’ll Get

  • 1-to-1 guidance tailored to your style and goals

  • Advice on composition, light, and lens choice

  • A deeper understanding of Venice through a local’s eye

  • And yes… possibly the best coffee you'll have in Italy (break included!)
