In the first of an innovative series of photographic training programmes aimed at those who simply love their photography a team of leading professionals will be on their way to Italy in the late Spring of 2009.
This 5 day ‘Inspirational Adventure’ is to be held in the beautiful village of Ferentino just south of Rome and will feature hands on ‘Masterclasses’ leading to a documentary style project in which at the peak of the event each one of the delegates will be assigned to creatively record a day in the life of one of the villagers. To mark the occasion a selection of each participants images will be featured in a commemorative book and exhibition to be gifted to Ferentino later in the year.
With an interesting and varied program the students will be kept busy and wanting for more. There will be Masterclasses on technique and theory to prepare everyone for a very exciting time. Also featured will be a “Challenge” which has been designed to test the skills and stretch the mind ready for the main event. Demand will be high for a limited amount of places on this innovative event.
