Dolomites Workshop
Landscape Photography
ONE-2-ONE Photography experience on-field with Andrea Livieri
Dolomites Workshop – Landscape Photography with Andrea Livieri
The experience gained so far, not only on the purely photographic but also didactic side, it has shown me many times that training in a group context is not for everyone. There are many reasons for this, each person has a different speed of learning, difficult interaction capability in large groups, the impossibility of attending workshops with traditional format for several days, etc …
In the last ten years I have been able to photograph several of the most beautiful places in the Dolomites, and that’s why I decided to create this new photographic opportunity and experience set in these wonderful mountains, and addressed directly to those who want to face individual sessions with the coaching of a tutor.

“One-to-One” – Dolomites Workshop on Landscape Photography. It is a lesson day built right up your alley, where you can decide the day and the location that suits you the best. It is enough for me to have an idea of the places that you may be interested and consequently, based on the specific time of the year, I’ll get you a couple of great locations.
Alternatively you can give me an idea about the topics that you want to pursue, such as shooting landscapes of the Dolomites at sunrise or sunset, lakes or streams, or wide panoramas.
Throughout the duration of the dolomites workshop I will be available to clarify your any doubt in specific photographic areas, with practical advices and theoretical notions. Based on the chosen location I will suggest you some of the most interesting spots to capture beautiful shots, and where we will evaluate the compositional choices also in terms of light.
Key elements of the workshop

The 1-to-1 Dolomites Workshop provides also (on request) a section related to Post-Processing and it’s designed to improve your ability on the photo editing and how to evaluate a digital image. All the fundamental steps will be treated, starting from the interpretation and RAW develop in Camera Raw, up to the export of the image for the web and/or print. We will also analyze some tricks to avoid the most frequent errors, on top of it all the over-processing. Read the article I created for Alien Skin Software and FujiLove at this LINK .
However, it is possible to customize the contents of the workshop exactly to your needs, paying more attention to the areas where you think you are most lacking.

A WORKSHOP BASED ON YOUR PREPARATION LEVEL
BASIC PROGRAM
This is the ideal service for the novice photographer looking to understand the basics of photography and learning how to get the best from their camera. Courses typically cover composition, use of aperture, exposure, and understanding your camera. There is no set schedule, so the day is tailored to the customer, taking into account their existing knowledge, interests, and fitness level. Trips can either start at sunrise, end at sunset, or run during the normal hours of the day – it’s up to you.
ADVANCED PROGRAM
If you need a more advanced tutoring, this can be the ultimate photography learning experience guaranteed to get you shooting to a new level. Everything is tailored to the customer, with locations being based on personal interest, experience, and level of fitness. With maximum attention on showing you how to get award winning shots, we’ll be looking at how to pre-visualise and bring to reality the photos you want to take. Knowing how to anticipate the light, learning what conditions will give the best potential, and how to make everything come together at the right time are the main focus of our Pro workshops. We also look at how to get every ounce of performance out of your gear, to give your images that extra wow factor.
