Stefano is a professional photographer who works for Getty Images and others. He lives in the Venice area and has amassed a huge portfolio of area people and sights. He knows the absolute best spots to shoot. A lot of these are places the average tourist in Venice will never even see. We started right before sunrise and got some awesome Golden Hour shots. He showed me the best angles for great compositions. With his vast knowledge of the area and quiet places to shoot, you can get more great shots in the three hours if the tour than you will ever get on your own in several days. He will help you with all your camera settings and answer all of your questions. This is truly a one-of-kind experience to capture the beauty of this very photogenic city. Highly recommended for any photo enthusiast!

Three Hours of Photo Bliss in Venice

The BEST Photo Walk
I’ve done a couple other photo walks in other cities. Nothing compares to Stefano, a native, knows all the spots, the times of day when they’re at their best, and gives as much instruction as you care to receive. Plus, he shares a lot of history along the way, the interesting kind. He’s a pro photographer, and it shows.

Definitely positively recommended
STEPHANO was our photographer. He is a Venitian native with extensive knowledge of the city and photography. We love the whole experience with him. So many good photos for our trip

Venice with Stefano
Stefano is lovely. Knew exactly where to take us to get some lovely pictures away from the crowds. Gave advice when needed. We were not rushed in taking our pictures but time was not wasted either. He advised us where to go for the best shots later in the day as well. It was a great way to start our trip to Venice and we found the real Venice away from the tourist sights.

Excellent photo guide!
Stefano was absolutely wonderful. He met me right on time and we set out on a wonderful photo adventure around Venice. He was so friendly, nice and experienced. I had a terrific time and would definitely go again with him. He got me to the best places in good light, and had lots of suggestions for places to return to as the light changed. I really can’t say enough great things about him. So glad I met him and I would absolutely hire him again on a return visit.

Worth every penny!!

Get instruction from a pro
Stefano was an experienced photographer, and he shared his suggestions with us. He knew picturesque locations for us to take pictures of, and he provided immediate feedback, both constructive and positive. We've already incorporated his suggestions into other pictures we've been taking on our vacation. We also really appreciated his flexibility. He offered to do the tour in the morning since is was quite hot in the afternoon. He also recommended a restaurant to us and even called to get us a reservation! Just a lovely, educational time.

Seeing Venice through the eyes of a native and expert photographer made for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Our three hour photo tour with Stefano was just amazing. He shared insight into camera angles and photo opportunities we never would have imagined! Such a delightful photographer with an expert eye, wonderful demeanor, patient with less experienced photographers, and let us see Venice in a whole new way! I could have spent the entire day with him. His advice on photographing his amazing city was top knotch!

Discover the Hidden Gems of Venice
Our photographer/guide was wonderful! He also tailored our time to what we were interested in doing and took us to the "hidden gems" of Venice. He also shared history and interesting facts. This is a great way to get to see more than just the touristy areas.
M
Great way to explore Venice
We had the best time with Stefano! We learned all kinds of new tricks and captured some wonderful images of Venice. He even went out of his way to help us find a spot to change clothes for another tour we had in Murano. Thank you for a wonderful morning, Stefano!!!
