Florence Photography Masterclass - Aula particular de fotografia

Robbin is a smart and patient photo tour leader. We saw angles and perspectives we probably wouldn't find on our own. We had a wide range of experience and equipment in our little group, but she was able to support all of us. I've taken three city walks with Aperture and haven't been disappointed.

The class was wonderful. Robbin was exceptional—lots of tips and tricks to get great shots.

Had a wonderful 3 hr photo tour with Robbin in Florence. She started by discussing my experience and how confident I was with the gear, then explored what I wanted from the workshop and thought about composition and subjects. We then moved initially away from the typical tourist areas for more street photography, looping round back to the centre while she showed me some great spots to capture some of the Florence landmarks. As well as discussing photography and photographers during the walk she also gave me some background on various Florence sights - from wine windows, to the duomo, to the changing fate of the iconic Odeon cinema. The light was starting to fade now so went back to a street photography focus as the building lights came on. Would recommend, and it added depth (and fun) to my Florence experience.

I can't express enough for the incredible photography experience I had with Robin in Florence. As someone who know barely anything about photography, I was amazed by how much I learned in such a short time. The food photography session at Mercato Centrale was a highlight of my trip. Before working with her, I struggled to identify compelling subjects or focal points in my photos. It changed how I see potential shots – being conscious of recognising the main focus of the shots. Robin took the time to explain the technical aspects in a way that actually made sense to newbies. But the technical stuff asides, she also showed me various areas and angles around Florence that revealed the city's beauty in ways I would never have discovered otherwise. The cherry on top was her insider tips on where locals actually eat! These hidden gems added an authentic touch to the experience. You'll walk away with nice photos with the knowledge and confidence to continue improving your photography skills afterwards. Really can’t recommend this tour enough!

My tour was with Robin. She is originally from the US so language was no issue. She knew the back streets of Florence very well. Her photography skills and helpful hints were very helpful. I really enjoyed the experience

Robbin was my tour guide and she made this a great experience! I am a novice photographer with more camera than I know what to do with - and she met me where I was so that I could get the most out of the tour. In addition to photography (technique, composition) and post-processing tips, I got a nice introduction to Florence (it was my first day in the city). Robbin was flexible and very pleasant, and her attitude toward photography and interactions on the streets of Florence make her the perfect guide.
