Forest structure
Trunks, openings and depths
We will work on the camera position to separate the logs and build readable images even in the densest areas.

FIELD EXPERIENCE
Inside the forest, without haste
In the Casentino Forests, photography changes after just a few meters of trail. Tree trunks, water, rocks, and leaves demand essential framing and careful control of the edges. We'll stop where light and structure allow us to really work.
Why photograph the Casentino Forests?
The park offers forests of varying densities and species. This allows for comparisons between wide-ranging scenes and tighter compositions without limiting the workshop to a single photographic point.
Streams add movement and reflections. We'll use different timings to decide how much structure to leave in the water and how to separate it from the rocks and wet leaves.
The program will take into account the weather, trail conditions, and forest conditions. Participants will receive times and meeting points after the final inspection.
PHOTOGRAPHIC ITINERARY
The subjects of the workshop
The final photographs will replace these placeholders. Each box indicates the subject and the image crop to be inserted.
Water, rocks and leaves
Shutter speeds and contrasts
We will compare short and long exposures to give the water the right structure for the scene, without losing detail in the woods.
The undergrowth
Late Autumn Details
Leaves, bark, moss and small passages of light will be the starting point for more essential compositions.
