London Photographic

Venice is a city just begging to be photographed… Join us for a full and fun weekend of photography where we will take the ferry to a few of the local islands:

We’ll shoot:

• Bright and colourful, distressed and grandiose architecture
• Long narrow alleyways leading to canals
• A gondola or two
• Fishing huts long exposures with silky water and streaky clouds (we will provide the equipment)
• Street photography capturing the locals and tourists
• We have an optional photo project for you to help focus your photography

Flights at the time of posting can be found for less than £80 return

Saturday
We’ll take a ferry to shoot the beautiful and varied fishing off one of the islands. Afterwards we’ll drop our tripods and along optional photo projects we will head out to do street photography around the centre of Venice.

We will have an optional sunset shoot and share a meal on Saturday evening before preparing for an early rise for our (optional) sunrise shoot the following morning.

Sunday
We'll meet early to shoot sunrise (optional) before breakfast. This time of year we hope to have some early morning fog which makes the dramatic and moody images we all love!
We’ll take the ferry to one of Venice’s most colourful islands, Burano, we will also visit another island with views of Venice before heading back to the mainland.

We will end the day with an optional sunset shoot and a final meal together. And if you are still in Venice on Monday morning we will have another optional sunrise shoot.
