Photo Workshop in Venice – Reflections and Longexposures

13-14 November 2024

Organized by Stefan Klinger

Venice is without doubt one of the most amazing cities in the world. I have visited this town several times and know it well – and all cool fotospots have been marked on my navigation map. Furthermore, I am fluent in a couple of languages (including Italian), which facilitates communication a lot.

I will be conducting a photo workshop in Venice in a small group (max. 4); you will be guided to best places at the right time, when the light is perfect. I am pretty sure that you will bring home some amazing photographs.

If there is Aqua Alta (a high water level respectively a flooded southern part of the city), we might even capture legendary scenes like the one beneath. Of course, Aqua Alta cannot be predicted nor guaranteed as it depends on weather conditions in the laguna of Venice.

About Stefan Klinger

I am Stefan Klinger, a passionate photographer from Switzerland. Since decades, I am interested in photography.
I am mainly interested in landscape, astrophotography and events. I like to be outdoors and to plan for and chase nice light situations. Photographing with Haida filters has helped me to get to the next level. The neutral density filters allow for long exposures even in sunlight and this often transforms quite ordinary shots into something totally different and much more interesting. Therefore, I like to photograph at places with water and clouds – a way to show the passage of time in photographs.
Along with the photography gear and technique, editing is qually important. I use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing my raw files.
After some individual photography coachings in the past, I am now heading to conduct my first photo workshop. The place I have chosen for this could not be better – Venice in Italy.
