Rome Photography Workshop
2/3 DAYS WORKSHOP OF NIGHT, STREET AND TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
The goal of the workshop is to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge, improve visual skills of the participants and achieve their own Rome photographic project.
Over these days, the participants will have the chance to learn the art of Night Photography, Travel Photography (cityscape, daily life, architecture, portrait) and Street Photography. They will learn how to translate the thought into photographic images and how to use the camera in different situations.
The participants will learn how to think more thematically and conceptually as well as learning to develop their own style. We will focus on both aesthetical and emotional topics, about what to tell, how and why. We will deal with the topics related to visual perception such as: composition, spatial configuration, color etc… We will also analyze the many aspects that determine the choice of the pictures and we’ll study image processing.
The pictures taken will be revised last day of the workshop – screen sessions – submitting images directly from your media card on the Bulgarelli’s Mac. We’ll learn images editing focusing on the aspects of visual art and communication and aiming to build a stunning portfolio with a coherent style by the end of the workshop.
The participants will shoot both individually and with Marco Bulgarelli within a flexible schedule, adjusted to their individual needs.
Marco will follow individual needs, so the participants can work at their own speed.
DAY 1
10:00 AM TO 8:00 PM Ground travel by public transport and car
Guidelines to build a photography project and a short introduction to travel reportage and street photography. Then we’ll go off the beaten track. Starting from Via Appia Antica, regarded by the Romans regina viarum (the queen of the roads), that is universally considered one of the great engineering works of the ancient world. Then we’ll visit the magnificent Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls and the Garbatella – also known as “Garden City”- a jewel that combines the popular, rural and working spirit with architectural research. After we’ll discover extraordinary examples of industrial archeology and street art. We’ll continue on famous locations such as: Terme di Caracalla, Circo Massimo, Aventino and Gianicolo.

We’ll photograph the amazing historical center where we’ll find inspiration for many pictures to tell the city: the ancient Rome, the night atmospheres, urban landscape, typical daily life, characteristics roman people, picturesque Rome’s glimpses, the artisans, incredible architecture, romantic sunset etc…
DAY 3
10:00 AM TO 8:00 PM Ground travel by public transport and car
We’ll discover the EUR district where the fascist architecture with its references to rationalism and to the ancient Roman style give us the chance to take metaphysical pictures.

We’ll learn images editing and post production to build a portfolio with a coherent style.
