Home / Photo Trips / Milan weekend trip

The Street Photography Weekend trip aims to understand how to photograph successful scenes on the street. To successfully do street photography projects, it is important to learn how to anticipate what is happening, look for fun interactions and juxtapositions or capture fleeting moments. We will learn how to develop reactions, become bolder and break with the constraints of classical composition, all on the street practicing. The course leads to an understanding of the typologies, exemplary models and narrative techniques of urban reportage and street photography.

The course is aimed at amateur and professional photographers who are interested in street photography, provided they already have the basics of digital technology. It includes practice time with a professional photographer.

Important:Please notice that the main language of the photography trip will be German

This trip will be led by: Simona Di Cesare who speaks Deutsch, Français, Italien

I was born in Italy and had the luck to live in sone of its most beautiful cities: Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan. My official job is civil engineering, beside it I always cultivated my love for all forms of art. I studied acting in Milan and participated in several TV commercials and theater shows… till I found the true art form in photography thanks to Swissphotoclub. I live in Switzerland for 14 years with my family and it was in Zurich, that I picked up an old Reflex camera, felt in love with it and started taking my first courses…. Since then I haven't stopped. More courses, workshops, photo trips until the first direct contacts from agencies that have engaged me for advertising and marketing photos.


The beauty! Photography has allowed me to see it everywhere, frequently in the most unexpected places. I walk the streets always with a camera looking for moments to steal, looking for beauty.


I love Streetphotography, in all its forms: the minimalism in the geometries of a street, the reflections, the lights and shadows, the details but also the stories that the street can tell us.
