Over the years, many of Ron's assistants have told him that they learned more in 3 months working for him, than in a 6-year degree in photography ever provided. If you just can't get enough of photography and want to kick-start a new portfolio with a professional as your assistant, then this may be for you.
    We believe that the best classroom is out in the world. The best lessons – those remembered for a lifetime – solve a specific real-time problem, whether it is a landscape from the side of the road, the light filtering through a stained-glass window or a portrait in a restored Renaissance Palazzo.
    This workshop is the opportunity for you to focus on improving your photography for a full week in one of the world's most beloved regions.
    Italy is a living museum. If there's a Caravaggio in a nearby church, we would want you to see it because we know it might forever change the way you see light.
    All the questions that you have always wanted to ask a professional will be answered. All the locations that have taken us years to find will be shared.
