Fine Art Photography & Printing Workshops by Frank Werner
learn from the professionals’ coach.
If you’ve always wanted to do a 100% hands-on all-in-one workshop in some of the most beautiful places in the world, this is the place for you.
Develop your photographic creativity, get to know new techniques, perspectives, locations and ideas. We will take a lot of photos and then edit our images together in Lightroom, Capture One and/or Photoshop. Here you will learn the ideal workflows, techniques and functions that will really bring your pictures to life. According to the motto, a picture is not a picture if it is not printed, you will learn how to prepare pictures for fine art printing and how to print them on fine art printers. A Canon or Epson A2 Fine Art printer and various Ilford / Hahnemühle Fine Art papers are available to participants at each workshop location. Even if you are not familiar with printing, we can help you get your pictures onto paper perfectly.
Instead of getting a few tips on photography and then standing there with your pictures on the memory card like on normal photo tours/workshops, you will learn everything you need for high-quality fine art photography in our hands-on workshops, from shooting to editing and printing.
As Frank only organizes workshops in places where he knows his way around like the back of his hand, and always includes local know-how (photographers, guides etc.), we also get to places that other workshops hardly or never find. We also experience the places by not going to the nearest pizzeria for a meal, but always to selected, special restaurants, some of which are only known to locals. This could be a small enoteca where the dish of the day costs 8 euros, or a small, hidden restaurant with only 16 seats, where the chef cooks us a “Fa Ti” menu with 4 courses that we have never eaten before.
We also welcome partners for all our workshops who can help us with many things.

The workshop locations
we only do workshops in places we know like the back of our hand!
Mysterious Venice
with Frank & Cornelia Werner and Leica Amassador Marc de Tollenaere
A 5-day photography, workflow and fine art printing workshop in Venice. Your workshop leader awaits you Frank Werner and guest lecturer Marc de Tolenaere (Venetian and Leica Ambassador). Frank lived in Venice for a year during Corona, knows Venice like the back of his hand and can therefore guide you to the most beautiful locations at the best times of day. Marc was born in Venice and will introduce you to the secrets of street photography at a high level. A 3-hour water taxi ride to places you can hardly reach on foot, a visit to the island of colorful houses – Burano and a visit to the Venetian market round off the course.
We also go to Frank’s favorite restaurants in the evening for dinner, which you either wouldn’t find as a “tourist” or wouldn’t get a seat in. This is how the workshop days come to a Venetian end.
