I had just taken delivery of a new Hasselblad X1D which Vieri also uses, and he was able to assist me working with the camera which he has mastered very well. We were even able to swap lenses when necessary.
Vieri is easy to get along with and is very professional in his conduct!
Below you will find our VENICE PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP reports, covering all our Workshops there from 2019 and including our Alumni's Testimonials and photographs. Enjoy!
QUICK JUMP: OCTOBER 2018 | JULY 2019
In July 2019, I returned to Venice for our second Workshop there, this time a short 2-day Private Workshop with a single participant joining us together with his non-photographing wife.
I very much enjoyed meeting our new coming participant and working with him during these two days in Venice. The fact that he was also a Hasselblad X1D user allowed me to share with him my tips and tricks to make the most out of his camera. Despite the short time, we covered a lot of ground, photographing various locations and facing some interesting compositional challenges.
Last but not least, the social aspect of the Workshop, always very important for me. In Venice, despite our very short time together, we truly enjoyed our conversations about photography and, of course, photo equipment, for a very pleasant social side of the Workshop!
The participants in our Venice 2019 Private Workshop kindly sent me a short testimonial together with a selection of images to share with you. See what they had to say about our Workshop together and enjoy their work in Italy!
I attended a private one-day workshop with Vieri Bottazzini in Venice at the end of July 2019.
Vieri knew his way around Venice and showed me some of the best photographic locations that I would not have known about without his guidance. The result was that I left Venice with some high-quality images as well as memorable experiences working with an established world-renown landscape photographer.

Apart from sourcing excellent locations Vieri introduced me to the Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Filter system.

In October 2018, we went to Venice for our first Workshop there, a two-day extension to our COMACCHIO OCTOBER 2018 WORKSHOP. This was run a Private Workshop for three participants, all returning Alumni, two of whom joined us with their wives. The Workshop lasted two weeks overall, between this Venice leg and Cinque Terre, Tuscany and Comacchio.
Doing a Private Workshop with returning Alumni made it easier for me to fully customise the Workshop on the group's level and requirements, choosing the best Venice locations both for great photography and to continue along our tutoring path together.
Last but not least, the social aspect of the Workshop, always very important for us. Both Zeynep and I were really happy to see our Alumni again and we truly enjoyed our social times with the group, during our transfers, lunches and dinners. Together we had conversations on the most varied topics, from photography to lifestyle & food, from equipment to politics, but most importantly we had really a lot of fun, for a great Workshop together!
