What to expect
Your guide will lead you through Venice's quieter and busier streets, stopping at key vantage points to discuss framing, exposure and creative approaches to urban photography. You'll practise composing shots of water reflections, building facades and candid moments—whether you're shooting on a DSLR, mirrorless camera or phone. Expect plenty of walking with pauses for instruction and hands-on practice. The focus is on developing your eye and understanding settings rather than producing a polished portfolio.
Good to know
Bring a charged camera or phone with sufficient storage. Wear comfortable walking shoes; Venice's streets are narrow and sometimes wet. Check current entry fee requirements for day visitors from outside the city—a €5 access fee may apply on certain dates. Public transport is accessible nearby.
