Unabashed entries, photography by Anders Petersen
Named one of the most influential European photographers since the 1970’s, Anders Petersen was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1944. His first success journey with photography starts from humble beginnings – in a bar called Cafe Lehmitz. In 1967 he began to photograph the bar, eventually accumulating enough images to coat its walls with over 300 of […]
Mimmo Jodice – City Night Dreamer
Born in the heart of Naples where he grew up, Mimmo Jodice became one of the most highly regarded Italian photographers. Jodice ventured into photography in the early 1960’s, working alongside artists like Andy Warhol, Beuys, Kounelis, Lewitt and others. In his later work, he ventures far from the human subject and into the drama […]
“Under” by Mauro Benedetti at Semplicemente Fotografare
One of our lead photographers at Rome Photography Workshop, Mauro Benedetti, was chosen to show his work as part of Semplicemente Fotografare: “Simply Shooting Live!” in Novafeltria, Italy. In his provocative and raw series “Under,” depicting scenes from the New York City subway, Mauro explores relationships, moments of reflection, and paralleled persons with seemingly nothing in common– except […]
The Best Time to Visit – and Photograph – Rome
September – April The best time to visit the Eternal City is after the tourist crowds have dissipated, and the cool months start to settle in.

From specialty Venetian seafood to rustic focaccia bread, the delectable dishes below photographed by both Italian natives and visitors. Food isn’t just for eating – it’s a timeless […]
Choosing your personalized workshop: a guide
Morning Light – The Graceful Style Morning light is for those who don’t mind waking up with the dawn. When the sun peaks over the horizon and graces the (rarely) quiet city streets, it turns monuments golden and makes the river sparkle. Morning Light tends to be for those who like a certain purity in […]
Merging Media – when painting and photography become one
Mixed media art isn’t a new thing, but often as photographers, we forget that there are other modes of expression that delve deep beyond the lens. In photography, we snap images of something concrete, something that, at one point and time, existed. What if we could mold these realities? Take a look at these artists […]
L’altro Sguardo – a show of feminist photographers
Around Rome right now, posters of a young woman in a red dress float by on bus advertisements, street signs and metro billboards. It’s impossible to miss her intriguing position: back turned to the camera, captured with her gaze strained far from the photographer (Anna Di Prospero). She seems to be leading you somewhere. Rowing […]
