Author: Paolo De Faveri

Mountains have always inspired awe and a sense of majesty in mankind.
The Western Alps features some of the best mountain landscapes in Europe. The tallest and most famous “rocky giants” of the whole Alps range such as Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso and Monte Rosa are all standing here in the northwestern corner of Italy, in a range of just a few miles. Join me in this small group, all inclusive workshop and get ready to be immersed in a true landscape photographer’s paradise made of majestic peaks, forests and woods, streams and waterfalls, glaciers and lakes.

Clothes and Accessories

Weather in an Alpine environment is unpredictable by definition. We can literally experience a whole set of different conditions in the same day, ranging from pristine, clear blue skies and mild temperatures down to rain/snow showers and strong and chilly cold winds. Even in summer time.
So a full set of warm clothes is recommended, including but not limited to:

- trekking shoes
- gumboots (optional, but useful in certain situations such as rivers and lakes)
- wind/rain proof jacket
- pile pullovers
- gloves
- headdress
- sunscreen
- sun glasses
- Head lamps and batteries

I have been a full-time professional landscape, nature, travel and architecture photographer since 2007. I specialise in images of Italy, France and other European countries.

My pictures have appeared in calendars, books, travel magazines, brochures and as wall art in offices, hotels, restaurants and corporate venues.
I give workshops and live near Turin in Italy.
