“In my imagination, Iceland has always represented an enigma. I naively thought I could undo the knots of the great North through photography, but the must of this SLPW was to add questions and to crystallize impressions. Led by a non-pushy leadership, enjoying impeccable organization and itinerary, we joined our individual paths in a common but still personal research through landscapes that exploded in the camera lens and in our eyes, matched with deep conversations. Charm and wonder, a farewell to the habits of our eyes: this is what I can express – you should absolutely live the rest together with Riccardo.”

“I took part in a SLPW in Val d’Orcia with Riccardo Improta. It was a unique experience, both for my photographical growth and for the emotional involvement I lived through the whole course. I learnt a lot. I got moved by the light of the dawn, and fascinated by the silence. I lived amazing places, I saw space and felt time in a totally new way. Riccardo is an outstanding photographer and teacher: he communicates everything he knows without holding anything back. Now I can communicate my landscape through images, and that is exactly what I wanted to get from this workshop. Moreover, I feel enriched, more aware in the use of the camera, which I’m currently using in my job.”

“I love photographing, and I attend several workshops to get better. I particularly appreciated those given by Riccardo Improta, and the passion with which they are planned and held. Despite all the improvisation you can find in other courses, I realized there was a deep knowledge of the travel destinations which, joined to professional and communicational skills make the attendance a safe choice. The amazing locales for taking shots, the general organization, the evening review sessions, Riccardo’s ability to manage and blend our groups make me choose SLPW every time. This way, I can have my moments of insight, but also amusement, for the sheer pleasure of travelling and photographing.”
