Italian Photojournalist Presents Workshop in Boulder

Massimo Bassano returns to Boulder this summer! Massimo is one of Italy's top photojournalists - he was just awarded first and second place for "Best Travel Cover," by the Italian Conference of Editors & Journalists. Massimo shares with us how photographers can capture that exceptional photo when they become part of the scene they are photographing rather than just watching them through a lens.

The first two days are for those who want more technical knowledge about their camera, software/computer and latest equipment. The following five-day workshop is "shooting on-site" in and around Boulder. Each day becomes a photographic adventure. Capturing the morning light and coolness of the day, we shoot together and independently. In the afternoons we gather for discussions, return to do more shooting and download or develop film overnight. Everyone will be able to sign up for a one-on-one session with Massimo.
