Photographic Workshop and Walk: 15 March 2026


Join us for a personalised and exclusive photographic workshop and walk focusing on the 'street geometry of Venice.' This event will be led by Andy Parker and Luca Primavesi (www.primavesi.it). With over 15 years of experience shooting in and around Venice, we’re excited to show you the real Venice, away from the typical tourist hotspots.


Discover Hidden Corners


During this workshop, we will explore the hidden corners of Venice. You’ll develop skills in composition that tap into Gestalt Theory. We’ll go beyond just 'leading lines' and the 'rule of thirds.' Instead, we’ll dive into the nuances of capturing the essence of this beautiful city.


Skills and Techniques


This workshop is a follow-up to the success of the 'Venice Street Geometry' photography exhibition held at the Kunst Depot Venezia in 2025. We’ll guide you through essential skills and practices. You’ll learn how to read the light and shadow, utilize existing street architecture, and choose the correct vantage point. These techniques will help you capture shots that are unique and timeless.


All Are Welcome!


We welcome everyone! We speak English, Italian, and French, but we all communicate through photography. Just bring along your mobile phone, mirrorless, or DSLR camera. Above all, bring your passion for the medium!


Limited Spaces Available


Don’t miss out! Limited spaces are available for this workshop. For more information about prices, dates, and availability, please email info@monochromevenice.com.


Why Attend?


You might wonder why you should attend this workshop. Well, it’s a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced photographers. You’ll gain insights that can elevate your photography skills. Plus, you’ll get to experience Venice in a way that most tourists never do.


Connect with Fellow Enthusiasts


One of the best parts of workshops like this is the chance to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts. You’ll share experiences, tips, and maybe even a few laughs. It’s a great way to build a community around your passion for photography.


Capture the Essence of Venice


Venice is a city full of stories waiting to be told through your lens. Each corner, each shadow, and each light creates a unique scene. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a collection of stunning photographs that capture the essence of Venice.


The Beauty of Black and White


At Monochrome Venice, we believe in the beauty of black and white photography. It allows you to focus on composition, light, and texture without the distraction of color. This workshop will help you appreciate the subtle details that make Venice so special.


Final Thoughts


So, are you ready to embark on this photographic journey? Join us on 15 March 2026, and let’s explore the street geometry of Venice together. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience!

Caigo. Taken in February 2023 these were part of the ‘Caigo - Venetian Fog’ series shot on film but never scanned or shown until now. Much grainer than the similar, previously published and exhibited images which were shot on iPhone (see image four in the series), for me these film shots possess more character and depth despite the lack of detail.

This year April is analogue month. This means shooting on film wherever possible, but also using vintage, manual Pentax-M lenses with the Fujifim XT5 in order to slow things down and focus on creativity.


Hopefully I can post some results at the end of the month, but in the meantime here are a couple of shots from a ‘lost’ roll of film, taken in Venice last year. All taken on an Olympus mju: II with Ilford HP5 plus film.
