“I took part in a SLPW with tour leader Riccardo Improta in Iceland, winter 2016. It was a fantastic experience with a person who spontaneously communicates his love and passion for photography and makes it sink deep inside of you. I have a beautiful memory that comes back to my mind every time I look at the pics I took on those days. I learnt a lot of new things that let me photograph with a greater awareness today. Riccardo is one of those people I wish you all who love being on this side of the lens can meet.”

“I started travelling with SLPW several years ago, after meeting with Riccardo Improta, my teacher of Technique, Travel and Landscape at the academy. I attended workshops in the green Ireland, in the intriguing Middle East, and in Namibia, the land of a thousand colors. Every time, I grew both from a personal and photographical point of view. I learnt a lot: I was taught to see the light, to be in the right place at the right moment, to be demanding of myself, and at the same time to let loose searching for my purest instinct. During these workshops, I saw and photographed wonderful places; I slept in enchanting settings and made friends with a lot of beautiful people. Surely, this is an experience I suggest everybody does. Riccardo is a pro and an excellent teacher, who can convey his passion to all levels, making it yours too.”

“My SLPW with Riccardo Improta have been special photo and life experiences. You feel carried away with enthusiasm in a group event that was surely educational and entertaining. Riccardo is able to immediately find out every student’s inclination. The high technical competence and a traveler’s spirit he fully shares help everyone improve their way of photographing with a better awareness. In other words, you feel supported and motivated in a growth path where you feel free but directed by a skilled hand to express your potentiality."
