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.

  • Eine Gruppe von Fotografen mit Stativen steht entlang eines steinernen Geländers und fängt während eines Workshops den Blick auf einen venezianischen Kanal und historische Gebäude bei Sonnenuntergang ein. Die Szene zeigt Wasser, Boote und eine markante Kirche mit einem Glockenturm.
  • Fünf Menschen mit Gesichtsmasken und Kameras stehen und sprechen auf einem steinernen Gehweg in Venedig, umgeben von alten Gebäuden mit verschlossenen Fenstern - die perfekte Fotokulisse, um Fine Art Print-würdige Momente einzufangen.
  • Eine Gruppe von Personen sitzt in einem Raum um Tische und Laptops herum und betrachtet aufmerksam eine große Tabelle, die während eines Workshops auf eine Leinwand projiziert wird. Ein schwarzer Hund steht neben dem Bildschirm. Verschnörkelte Spiegel und Fenster lassen natürliches Venediger Licht herein.
  • Eine Gruppe von Menschen auf einer Fotoreise mit Kameras und Stativen fängt einen malerischen Sonnenaufgang über sanften Hügeln und nebligen Tälern ein. Die helle Sonne steht tief am Horizont und bunte Wolken malen den Himmel - eine Szene, die sich perfekt für einen Kunstdruck eignet.
  • Zwei Fotos zeigen eine Frau, die in einem gemütlichen Raum mit einem Steinkamin an einem Fotodruck arbeitet. Sie sitzt an einem karierten Tisch, umgeben von großen ILFORD-Abzügen aus einem kürzlichen Toskana-Workshop, Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder, die inspirierende Momente festhalten.
  • Fotografen fangen während eines Workshops auf einer Brücke in der Abenddämmerung die beleuchteten Kanäle und historischen Gebäude von Venedig ein, mit warmen Lichtern, die sich auf dem Wasser spiegeln, und einer Kuppel, die im blauen Abendhimmel zu sehen ist.
  • Auf einem rechteckigen weißen Teller liegen drei kleine Portionen mit Zwiebeln und Kräutern garniert, dazu zwei kleine schwarze Würfel und bunte Soßenstreifen - wie ein kulinarisches Highlight aus einer Venediger Fotoreise oder einem Workshop.
  • Eine Gruppe von Personen auf einer Fotoreise mit Stativen und Kameras steht auf einem grasbewachsenen Hügel und fotografiert eine malerische, hügelige, grüne Landschaft mit kurvenreichen Straßen und Zypressen unter einem teilweise bewölkten Himmel.
  • Auf einer schwarzen Schiefertafel ist ein Gourmet-Gericht angerichtet: ein Gemüsetartar mit einer Blume, umgeben von cremigen Soßenklecksen und bunten Soßenstreifen - ein Bild, das sich perfekt für einen Kunstdruck oder als Inspiration für Ihren nächsten Workshop eignet.

The workshop locations

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.

Silhouetted hilltop trees and buildings emerge through morning mist with a line of cypress trees, set against a soft orange and blue sunrise sky and distant mountain outlines—an ideal scene for a fotografie workshop or Fine Art Print.
