Photo Tour - Venice, Italy with Paul Sansome (3 spaces left)
2025-04-08 - 2025-04-13 | Venice, Italy
(Only 3 places left – Deposit £400 – Price £1950 p.p. (accommodation only)
Email roy@myphotoclub.co.uk for full itinerary and/or to book.
Venice!
Iconic, and one of the most beautiful, world-renowned sites – a must for photographers…

Paul says “Great photography comes from a love of the subject matter, and no urban setting is as inspiring as this unique and beautiful city.
It is also a place that seems to suit creative photography, with opportunities for multiple exposures, long exposures and ICM, all of which I enjoy”.

Venice has a reputation for being marred by mass tourism, but it is not too difficult to avoid the congestion of the most famous locations.
One way is to travel at a quieter time of year and this is one reason for visiting in November.
It can actually be very quiet in the morning, and the soft light can be conducive to producing strong images.
You should expect to be particularly busy at dawn and dusk.
The photography potential is increased by the prospect of foggy days.

Our trip is timed to coincide with one of Venice’s most significant religious festivals, the Madonna della Salute Feast Day, when church Santa Maria Del Salute is connected to San Marco by a floating bridge.It might seem odd to choose to visit when there will be more crowds but this is an event for the locals and should provide some very different photography opportunities of the worshippers, as they walk along the streets, and as they light candles in the impressive church. This 1-day event only impacts a small part of the city.
There is group education at the beginning, to give an awareness of some creative and compositional ideas, as well as a strong technical grounding in how to get the best results. Paul is always available on location and the guidance given when alongside someone taking the photographs is probably the most instructive.

Paul is one of the UK’s most successful fine art photographers. He has been Highly Commended in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year, has many times featured in Landscape Photographer of the Year, and in 2017 won the first of several major awards in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition.
For the past 20 years, Paul has been leading photography holidays each year to countries that include Italy, Morocco, Iceland, Myanmar, Vietnam and India.
