Private Unique Rome, Churches, Angels And Art Photo Tour And Workshop

Another amazing tour! This was my second tour with Giulio and he continued to impress me with his knowledge in photography and local history. He knows Rome so well, that we’re able to visit numerous churches and sites in just a single morning. This tour was an excellent value!

I previously enjoyed the night tour and I booked another photo tour with Giulio to receive more lessons in photography, but in a different setting. Again, very knowledgeable and patient teacher. An absolute treat working with Giulio again. My photography skills are vastly improved thanks to his lessons. 10/10 experience!!

The churches of Rome are places of art, wonder and serendipity, To have a local photo guide like Giulio take you to some of these beautiful places and point out their vantage points is a great benefit to both hobbyists and pros who want to maximize their shooting time in Rome. Giulio has passion and energy and customized our itinerary based upon what we wanted to cover. We enjoyed our photo tour of churches with Giulio.

You’re being coached by a Roman who can not only walk you to the best photo spots in Rome with his eyes closed, but because he’s a professional photographer with multi-layered knowledge and experience in different cultures and continents, he will also effortlessly guide you with your composition and camera settings. Very warm, friendly, kind, and funny. In perfect English, he gives you technical tips, gently and patiently repeating them until they sink in your head. He has loads of stories to tell, not only about the history of the sites, but pretty much else under the sun, including how to marinate rabbit and why you have to jaywalk with him on Rome’s busy streets. What’s not to love? When I first visited Rome almost two decades ago, I came home with lousy shots from my point-and-shoot. On this second visit, I meant to come home with the best shots possible. I’ve been teaching myself photography for five years in an effort to come up with publishable photos to include in the travel books I’m writing. Although I had a grasp of how the exposure triangle works, I’d never had the benefit of working with a pro. I’d mostly been shooting in either Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority mode, going Manual only occasionally. Giulio had me shooting in purely Manual mode, and after a couple of hours, I started feeling more confident with it. I took three tours: Rome by Night, Rome by Day, and Churches, Angels and Art, meaning I had the benefit of Giulio’s coaching for fourteen hours, resulting in a treasure folder of photos. I have been shooting more in Manual mode ever since. Now there’s a thick line that divides my photo files: BG and AG – Before Giulio and After Giulio. You can bet the AGs are superior to the BGs. The booking procedure was easy; Giulio responded to my emails promptly and clearly, and he accommodated some schedule changes I needed to make. Just keep in mind that the sites you are able to cover depends largely on your skill and energy level. Five sparkling stars; highly recommended!

Let me start by saying that it was already my second tour with Giulio. Right after the stunning tour “From Dusk to Dawn” I decided to book this tour “Churches, Angels and Art Photo Tour”as well with him. So I met Giulio at Santa Maria Maggiore early in the morning punctually at 7:30 am as we agreed. He began the workshop by giving me all proper information on what we will be photographing in the various churches and how to photograph it. And then we started an amazing itinerary where he brought me to the most beautiful churches in downtown Rome. In each one of them he showed me how to focus on the beautiful art they preserve, shooting all - the long naves, frescos, and even the smallest details. And as this was already my second workshop with Giulio I also got enough time to look which detail or view is important for me to get a picture of it. Like in the first Tour “From Dusk to Dawn” I made with him, Giulio was also this time able to provide insightful historic information. And I also appreciated that he was flexible with the tour as I wanted to see a special church. So it was absolutely no problem to adjust his proposal and make it possible to see also another church. Once again, the tour with him was very pleasant as well as entertaining and informative. And also once again, I have to express that this workshop is something not to miss and which I can strongly recommend to book! At the end I can only say thank you, Giulio, for that fantastic time and the wonderful pictures I was able to make with your advice.
