Our Tours in Rome
We are passionate about the art of photography – and we guide participants to develop and unique portfolio of strong images, reflecting a personal vision while avoiding clichés and déjà-vus. You will learn tips and tricks to improve your photography skills in an urban environment while discovering the highlights of Rome through personalized tours.
Our workshops are built along themed itineraries and are available in morning, afternoon and night sessions. If you are interested in a customized tour, photographic themes can be agreed upon in advance, based on respective skill levels and interest.
We also have professional photographers in Palermo and NYC who provide thoughtful and immersive itineraries in their native cities.
The light is critical to your beautiful photographs – and Rome Photography Workshop’s photographers know exactly when and where the light is hitting the iconic sites around the City. Each workshop itinerary is designed with the Roman sun.
In this early-bird tour, participants will have the opportunity to see Rome’s most breath-taking sunrise. The quaint and silent morning will offer you full concentration, enabling you to take the most memorable, signature shots just before rush-hour traffic. Continue your journey through the city as the sun exposes you to distinct lighting and unique shadows.
Join this tour if you wish to take afternoon and twilight shots, with a picturesque sunset in between. As the sun goes down and the pastel-colored clouds transform into shades of blue, violet, orange and pink, your guide will help you capture your surreal surroundings, creating long-lasting memories. As the sky darkens, take in Rome’s most beautiful night-lit architecture that encompasses the ancient city.
This tour will guarantee you the same awestruck beauty of Rome in an entirely different light. For more nighttime oriented individuals, or for those who simply want to see the city lights, this excursion will take you to both renowned and less recognized fountains, monuments and statues. Due to their notable aura, many of the sites planned for this tour are best photographed at night.
A top pick for photographers! The art of street photography is to capture the everyday, human “theater” in an artful and sometimes powerfully emotional results. In this workshop, you have the chance to explore “chiarascuro” techniques in some of Rome’s most exciting and populated locations, like Campo dé Fiori, Trastevere, the Ghetto, Castel Sant’Angelo, Monti and other lesser-known spots that only our experienced street photographers can recommend.
Itineraries are theme-centered and mainly take place in the broad area comprised within Piazza del Popolo, the Forum, St Peter’s, Colosseum, Quirinale and Spanish Steps. In that area you can find the majority of primary, most famous landmarks and locations. Being that area relatively restricted, there is the additional benefit of (almost) fully walkable itineraries.
With this tour, we create a customized itinerary that meets your personal interests. You can combine elements of our signature tours or create your own with our photographers. You will have the opportunity to select places you wish to see at specific times of day, or research locations you have never seen before. Given their acquired familiarity with the city, our guides will work with you and offer suggestions geared most suitable to your curiosities and enjoyment.
