    I photo tour che ho fatto con Daniele sono stati di grande interesse, ho imparato a scattare con lui! È una persona preparatissima, attento, estremamente disponibile e gentile. Ho trovato nel gruppo persone piacevoli ed abbiamo trascorso giornate divertentissime oltre che istruttive e stimolanti. Ne farò altri sicuramente. Lo consiglio vivamente 😍

    Ho partecipato all'uscita con Daniele a Ostiense, uno tra i quartieri più belli di Roma. Sono rimasto piacevolmente colpito da tutto ciò che la giornata ha lasciato dentro di me. E' stata una passeggiata che Daniele ha saputo valorizzare in ogni suo aspetto, sia sociale, che tecnico. Lui si avverte a pelle, sprizza vena artistica da tutti i pori, e le persone che gli sono accanto inevitabilmente ne rimangono coinvolte. Con la sua semplicità ed entusiasmo riesce a trasmettere e ad avere, da parte dei partecipanti, un approccio naturale e spontaneo verso il mondo della fotografia. Una bella esperienza, la consiglio vivamente!

    Ho partecipato ad una interessantissima lezione che ha toccato tanti aspetti della fotografia, dalla contestualizzazione del soggetto, alla messa a fuoco, diaframmi, luce. Credo sia fondamentale avere un esperienza così diretta perché si affrontano tutti quei problemi che si incontrano sempre. Daniele è stato molto paziente ed estremamente chiaro , e luce fu! spero di ripetere presto questa esperienza.

    La passeggiata è stata molto bella, perché ha toccato una zona di Roma che frequento ma della quale non conoscevo tutti quei murales e quegli edifici industriali. Ce ne sono tanti, uno più bello dell'altro, tutti che invitano alla fotografia. Daniele è stato bravissimo ad organizzare un percorso così articolato e pieno di spunti e con la sua bravura e i suoi suggerimenti, specie x i momenti migliori della luce, ci ha fatto realizzare molti scatti interessanti e ha lasciato nella memoria una bellissima uscita.

    Daniele si è dimostrato un fotografo estremamente professionale nonché una persona eccezionale. Ha saputo dispensare ottimi e preziosissimi consigli tecnici unendo simpatia a professionalità. Consiglio questa esperienza per conoscere angoli di Roma meno noti a tutti, anche a chi fotografa solo con la Smartphone.

    Quartiere Ostiense

    From the Garbatella metro you will cross the futuristic Ponte Settimia Spizzichino, which connects the Garbatella with the Ostiense district. Here we will hunt for the murals that constitute one of the first, if not the first, example of redevelopment of a neighborhood through street art. Then we will arrive at the Tiber and we will skirt it until we reach the famous Gazometro, symbol of post-industrial Rome, in a surreal scenario between art and degradation. Crossed the river, we will discover the exterior of former factories, whose buildings are now abandoned.

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
