A workshop with
Seeing Beyond the N**e

September 17-20, 2026 · Venezia Photo Academy
In n**e photography, we tend to reduce a subject to their body, forgetting that above all, they are a person. Stefan Rappo’s approach is precisely about going further: finding emotion, expression, authenticity. Not images of bodies, but portraits of women.

This workshop is an invitation to see beyond the surface. Over four days in Venice, participants work with professional models in various locations, learning how to build trust, guide with care, and create images that resonate on a deeper level.

Individual mentoring, practical shooting sessions, and a final collective presentation.

Places are limited. Applications now open.

A workshop with
Discovering Venice Through the Lens

October 24-27, 2026 · Venezia Photo Academy

For more than forty years, Steve McCurry has been one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography. Recipient of the Robert Capa Gold Medal and the Royal Photographic Society Centenary Medal, his work spans conflicts, vanishing cultures and the depth of the human condition.

This workshop is an invitation to see Venice differently. At dawn, from the water, aboard Venetian taxis, participants discover the lagoon in its most quiet and beautiful light. From Burano’s colors to the silent streets of Venice at sunrise, every moment becomes an opportunity to observe, compose and tell a stronger visual story.

Guided shooting sessions, independent shooting time, and private portfolio reviews with Steve McCurry.

Places are limited. Applications now open.

A workshop with .cupido
Photographic Haiku: Autonomy, Intuition, Presence

June 4-7, 2026 in Venice.

Two spots just became available.
A rare chance to join this workshop.

Born on a small Dutch island, Paul Cupido has built a poetic and organic body of work where the human body and nature merge. His images compose a visual exploration of impermanence, shaped by sensory awareness and deep connection to place. His work has been exhibited internationally in museums, galleries and art fairs.

This four-day workshop invites participants to approach photography as a way of entering the present moment. Through breathing, walking, listening and slowing down, each participant develops a personal visual poem of 5 to 11 images, guided by intuition rather than technique.
