What to expect
You'll spend three hours moving through central Rome with your guide, stopping at vantage points timed to catch the transition from dusk to full darkness. Expect hands-on demonstration—the photographer will show you their approach, then watch you apply it to the same scene. You'll work through settings for challenging light: high ISO, wider apertures, slower shutter speeds. The guide won't just correct your settings; they'll ask what you're trying to convey visually and help you find the frame that matches your intent. By the end, you'll have shot multiple locations and have concrete feedback on your progress.
