Masterclass & Workshop in Photojournalism
Our Masterclass & Workshop in Photojournalism represent the highest level of training, designed for those who want to fully immerse themselves in visual storytelling and develop photographic projects in the field.
These journeys are a minimum of 8 days, during which each participant is guided step by step by the instructors, Alessandro Cinque and Daniele Volpe, with a practical and personalized approach.
Unlike “Portfolio Reviews” (1.5-hour online sessions) or “One-to-one Online workshops” (5 lessons of 2 hours each), the Masterclass & Workshop in Photojournalism are full-fledged field trips: from direct contact with people, places, and cultures, to the complete management of a photographic project, from the initial idea to the final selection of images.
Each workshop offers the opportunity to refine your visual language, develop a coherent and powerful narrative, and engage deeply with experienced and award-winning instructors.
These journeys are designed for those who want to experience photography as a total experience, combining intensive practice, targeted learning, and cultural immersion.
All activities are conducted in Italian and Spanish.
