OVERVIEW: Italy's
most photogenic city by far is nothing less than a living
museum. Perched on a bed of ancient logs and 118 islands in
the middle of a lagoon, Venice is slowly ‘changing shape'
and creating fresh photographic opportunities as each day
passes. It is colorful, pastel, moody, ancient, and vibrant
with many moments of tranquil photographic bliss just
waiting to be explored both from behind the scenes, to
the wonderfully obvious! Point your camera at Rialto Bridge,
Piazza San Marco, colorful Burano Island, the myriad of
character-laden streets, alleys, bridges and Gondolas, plus
San Giorgio at sunset. Dawn and twilight photography
sessions, and more.
TRAVEL TO THE GATEWAY AIRPORT
o It is recommended that clients arrive a day early to be fresh for the trip, and to also counteract possible flight delays.
o Early arrival also enables you to explore the gateway city should you wish to do so.
o When booking flights, add a day for overnight travel or two days if also crossing the Pacific Ocean/International Dateline.
o The last day of the trip is the date you should arrange your flight home unless you plan to stay on. Thank you!
DAYS 1, 2, 3 and
4

VENICE, Italy
I'll meet your afternoon arrivals into Venice, and I recommend having a camera at hand for shots from the
'vaporettos' [water taxis] as we head to our accommodations. That'll be just the start of your film burning/memory card filling odyssey! After check-in it'll be time for dinner at a nearby sidewalk restaurant with photography to follow in view of the warm sun-bathed San Giorgio Island and the passing Gondolas.
Days 2, 3 and 4
will be filled with guided photographic sessions, plus a smattering of sessions on your own for those that want them. Each day will will start at dawn, pretty early by the way!, with excursions to nearby spots such as Piazza San Marco and more.
Also included is an excursion to the lace making island of Burano, a small fishing island with a 'thoroughfare' of lace shops, and houses painted in bright colors.
You'll walk in the footsteps of Venetian greats Canaletto and Vivaldi, but be ethereally inspired to produce your own visions of Venice . . . and I'll 'prod' you to new creative heights too!
VENICE, 4 nights
DAY 5
| Flights home
Dawn at the water's edge once more with San Giorgio in view. IMPORTANT: Departing flights should be arranged for after 12 noon. USA residents will arrive home on the same calendar day.
