Course Structure

During the week, participants will explore fashion photography techniques, subject direction, composition, and visual storytelling, alternating studio shooting sessions using natural and artificial light with on-location experiences in Milan’s most iconic fashion spots: the Quadrilatero della Moda, showrooms, avant-garde boutiques, and streets that embody urban elegance.

Milan becomes an open-air laboratory: the city, with its architecture, light, and cosmopolitan population, plays a central role as both protagonist and source of inspiration. The workshop culminates in the creation of a digital photography portfolio that expresses a personal vision of Milan as a fashion capital—a visual narrative shaped by style, rhythm, and contemporary identity.
