There are hundreds of amazing photographic locations to visit, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, St Peter’s Basilica, Trevi Fountain and so many more. You really will be spoilt for choice for which way to point your camera.
Paul will guide you through the best camera settings to use for each of these locations, offer ideas for creative compositions and advise on working with the lighting at each scene effectively. He’ll effectively work out what you do and don’t know, and build upon your existing photography skills to ensure you walk away from the workshop comfortable with everything that you have learnt.

This has to be one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever been on in my life. I was so nervous to meet Paul as I was on my own as a female traveller and I had never done anything like this before. I need not have worried, Paul greeted me as if I was an old friend and instantly put my nerves at ease. Rome is stunning, I’d never been before so getting the opportunity to explore it whilst learning how to actually use my camera was an incredible opportunity. Needless to say I learnt so much over the course of two days with Paul, he really is passionate about photography and makes everything so straight forward to understand. I absolutely love the photos I got, I love the city and I had such an amazing time with Paul who was a gentleman from start to finish. Thank you so much for this experience Paul, I’m already eyeing up other trips you have available!

We had a brilliant time learning photography with Paul over the course of a weekend in Rome. The city itself is stunning and combined with Paul’s photography teaching abilities we walked away not only with some great photographs that we absolutely love, but so much more knowledge about the right settings to use, composition, lighting and so much more.

My partner and I traveled to Rome and spent a weekend with Paul learning photography and b rushing up on our camera skills. From start to finish it was excellent, Paul met us at the airport as we arrived at a similar time to him and had origanised transport to a lovely apartment. We then spent the next 2 days visiting some of Romes best photographic locations whilst learning so much from Paul across the weekend. From settings to lighting to storytelling to composition, he put so much time and effort into helping us improve. I think it is worth saying that we both notably improved, our images are far better after the weekend compared to when we arrived. Lastly, Paul was a pleasure to be around and spend time with!
