This unique Photography Master Class is the only one you can find on the net that combines the Art and ability to observe with the practice of Mindfulness. Through a journey of learning from the Masters of Photography and their unique approach, I will lead you to understand not only the visual technique of photography, mainly composition and light, but also the deep meaning that true photography can express. As Henry Cartier-Bresson said "To photograph is to recognize in the same instant and in a fraction of a second a fact and the rigorous organization of the visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact. It is putting the head, the eye, and the heart on the same line of sight. It's a way of life.” Combining this famous phrase with the concept and practice of Mindfulness will contribute not only to become better photographers but also more aware of human beings, through the ability to be confidently aware and present, seeing and feeling ourselves and the world.

I lived for almost twenty years in the US and Africa, working as documentary filmmaker and photojournalist. When in 2014, I returned to Rome, my beloved hometown, I rediscovered all its sparkling and yet romantic life, its corners, its neighborhoods, and its everyday magic. In 2016, I started offering photo tours and workshops (also here on this platform) and along with them I photographed Rome almost every day, from sunrise to sunset and even during the night, going to the most iconic places as well as to the suburb neighborhoods, truly discovering the soul of the city and of its inhabitants. Through the Art and fun of street photography, I have photographed all sorts of situations, oddities, colors, people. You should book this online workshop because through it you will acquire the ability to photograph the invisible nuances of things and human beings, how to read faces, how to spot slices of life, and capture them in what Henri Cartier-Bresson called the "decisive moment".
