Location: Catania      Dates: 14-15 May 2016      Price: €250,00

Here’s a specialized workshop for those who love night-life and want to explore the mysteries that the night can offer. Not only will you learn all the techniques needed to deal with long-exposures and artificial street lighting as well as moon lighting, but you will also be introduced to the magic of shooting at night, with Master Instructor Massimo Cristaldi. You will start in the evening with a technical preparation and you will spend the whole night in a wonderful and mysterious procession of understanding and exploration. The second day is dedicated to the analysis of the photos taken in the first day, post-processing techniques to go from the RAW file to a finished, print ready, TIF.
The workshop is in Italian and in English for our international guests.
