“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.”

“I have attended several SLPW, since this initiative started. Those who choose to take part in these stages on the field will find out how a photographic experience with Riccardo can make a difference. With a fast pace, everything was very intense. The itineraries were studied to seize the best nature can offer us, blowing us away and moving us at every shooting. To this, you can add Riccardo’s deep knowledge of the places, his professional skills, and his great communicativeness. All these are precious elements, if you want to learn and live breathtaking situations with a group of people who have the same passion for photography as you.”

“Discovering the world with a camera is my greatest passion. So I decided to join a group of people, interested in deepening their knowledge in landscape photography on the field just like me, and I attended a SLPW workshop in Lanzarote with tour leader Riccardo Improta. I met Riccardo at a school of Photography some years go. I appreciate him as a photographer, a teacher, and a person: that is why I wanted to take part in a workshop of his, sure I would grow in photo techniques, in the way I approach and translate the landscape into images. Lanzarote was a great, educational, and pleasant experience. Riccardo taught me some important things that have surely widened my creative possibilities. Thank you, Riccardo, and see you at the next workshop!”
