Workshops

Photographic workshops focused on vision, light, and the relationship with the subject.

Photographic workshops focused on vision, light, and the relationship with the subject.

These workshops are conceived as moments of research and dialogue, rather than traditional technical courses. They are designed for those who wish to slow down the photographic process and work on image construction before the act of shooting.

The focus is not on equipment, but on how to observe, interpret, and relate to the subject.

A Different Approach

Each workshop is conceived as an immersive experience. There are no predefined formulas or repeatable schemes, but a working method based on attention, time, and presence.

Photography is approached as a language, not as an exercise.
Technique is always secondary to visual intention.

Who It Is For

The workshops are intended for:
  • photographers with an already established personal research
  • visual artists interested in the relationship between subject, light, and space
  • professionals seeking to deepen their own visual language
They are not designed for those looking for quick solutions or purely technical training.

The Work During the Workshop

The work unfolds through moments of observation, study, and dialogue. Particular attention is given to the relationship with the subject, the management of light, and the construction of the image before the act of shooting.

Shooting sessions are guided but not rigid, allowing the necessary time for the image to emerge naturally.

The critical review of the work produced is an integral part of the experience.

Upcoming Workshops

Bellinzona (CH)

Technique, Pose, and Subject Interpretation

This workshop is designed for those who wish to concretely improve their equine photography, working on pose, composition, and subject management, without giving up a creative approach.

It is intended for passionate photographers and professionals with solid technical equipment who want to learn how to use it more consciously in order to achieve clean, effective, and coherent images.

During the workshop, we will work on:
  • photographing the horse in pose
  • subject management and posture
  • the use of natural and artificial light
  • image composition
  • creative interpretation of the horse

The work will be practical and direct, with guided shooting sessions and moments of discussion on the material produced.

This workshop is suitable for those seeking concrete tools, clear guidance, and an immediate improvement in their work.

Pfaffing (AT)

Form, Light, and Relationship

This workshop is designed for photographers and professionals who wish to explore photography as a visual language, going beyond technique and simple representation of the subject.

The work focuses on the relationship between form, light, and presence, with a slow and intentional approach. The horse is not treated as a subject to be “posed,” but as a presence with which to build an image.

During the workshop, we will work on:
  • image construction before the shot
  • the relationship between light and form
  • chiaroscuro as a narrative tool
  • the relationship between photographer and subject
  • the search for a personal visual language

The number of participants will be limited to allow for in-depth dialogue and focused work on each project.

This workshop is intended for those with a solid technical foundation who wish to question and evolve their way of seeing and photographing.
