Sicilian shores are washed by three different seas, and it’s reflected in the island’s ancient name for Sicily: “Trinacria”, the three-cornered island. Sicily has had a long and tortuous history dating back more than 2,000 years. To know Sicily, you must first breath in its aroma and taste its food. Palermo, the island’s capital city, is renowned for its fascinating blend of Arabic, Norman and Baroque architecture. On the east side of the island is the 18th century re-built city of Catania, located between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna. Catania is a UNESCO World Heritage site. And on the south side of the island is the magical and very much loved 27th century old city of Siracusa, founded by the Corinthians. After Siracusa we explore the mountain top village of Ragusa and then on to Agrigento to view and photograph the Valley of the Temples, and the stunning white rocks of Scala dei Turchi. Sicily to most first-time visitors is a complete revelation. Although it’s the largest island in the Mediterranean it is relatively undiscovered, steeped in history and bathed in sunshine; offering the discerning traveller fine cuisine, stunning beaches, mountains, volcanoes, art, archaeology and unforgettable hospitality. Can you think of a better place to study photography than Sicily?
This adventure is designed not only to guide you to the most photogenic locations carefully planned for the best light, but to aid you in mentally visualizing a scene before capturing the decisive moment. Our aim is to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills to improve and expand your photographic technique in general. Apart from the technical aspect of learning your camera settings and capabilities, you will learn how to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary image by using your own creativity.
In addition, you will become knowledgeable on how to survey the landscape, utilize and approach your environment, photograph people indigenous to the region and the cultural considerations and challenges of photographing in a foreign country. Our time together will include individual and group discussions, inspiring ideas and great fun. We cannot think of a better location to express your creativity than the seductive island of Sicily!
