Dear Fellow Photographers

We are The Venice School of Photography, and we specialise in running short
workshops around Italy, with a collection of the world's most respected
professionals from organisations such as National Geographic, Contrasto,
Magnum and VII.

In 2006, Nina will be running perhaps our most spectacular event - our
Sicilian Easter Workshop.  The workshop will travel to the West of Sicily
during Easter time, where we will have the unique opportunity to shoot
several of the islands most spectacular religious processions and festivals.
Our workshop participants will have press-passes and so will be privileged
to shoot behind the scenes too.

The Easter Processions in Sicily are what you might call a 'photographer's
dream'.  Perhaps more to the point, you could say that Sicily was a
photographer's paradise.  It is a place full of emotion, culture, history,
pride, passion, and at Easter time, the Sicilians show all of this.  It's a
place where people ask you to take their picture, a place where the locals
have a genuine interest in you, and a place where one can feel like a
pioneer, seeing something for the first time.

The workshop also sees us visit historic monuments and medieval villages so
that there is a good variety of photographic opportunity.  Most days will
involve being on location until early evening, at which point we do a image
review session with Nina.

Accommodation is in a wonderful four star hotel in Trapani, and the entire
experience will be one you would hold dear for the rest of your lives.  This
workshop is something that is perhaps best described by images, therefore,
we welcome you to visit our website and look at the further details of this
workshop here

The Workshop runs from April 11th - 17th 2006.  Spaces are limited.

Thanks for your time, apologies for the unsolicited email, and don't
hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions

Kind Regards

Jonathan Maher
Director, The Venice School of Photography
