Description

This masterclass is designed for photographers who have moved beyond the basics. Central Italy, that is Tuscany, Umbria and the little known Latium, is an enchanting land of water. We have the Tyrrhenian Sea, Lakes Bolsena and Trasimene, several rivers often running in deep gorges and ravines; in fact you could not ask for a more delightful landscape in which to photograph the nude.
Patrick started shooting the nude in his studio using lights 30 years ago alongside his commercial work as an advertising and fashion photographer. For the last 20 years he has concentrated mainly on Nude in the Landscape near his home in Orvieto, Umbria. The nude gives a sense of scale to the landscape, or seascape, adding a lyrical quality. We use two models on separate days.
Price is for a couple in double room. Please write for more details.
