ROME PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

The “theater” of the street is exciting and unpredictable in Rome, where the ancient architecture forms a backdrop to contemporary mini-scenes, interactions and colors. 

Work with photographer Mauro Benedetti, who trained with Alex Webb and Livio Mancini, to teach you about lighting, “hunting”, and even the body language of street photography.

In this workshop, participants will learn the best strategies for capturing street life respectfully and unobtrusively, while learning new techniques in observation and fast captures.

Focus

This workshop focuses on the street life of Rome, from the old-timers, shopkeepers and artisans to modern Italians, couples and tourists. We cover some of the most popular piazzas (squares) in the Eternal City, where old and new meet in unusual and highly colorful ways.
