Dear David,
Thanks a lot for your very kind and enthusiastic review. I do appreciate it!
I am super glad Tess was happy and fully satisfied both with the photos she took, but also with the photo walk we had in Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este in Tivoli. I must say that I am also impressed by how prompty and easily she absorbed the photography teaching I provided her with during the workshop we had along the photo walk.
Indeed, Tess has a very good eye and a great enthusiasm for the art of photography. I noticed she also has her personal style and liking in terms of photography, meaning patterns, and geometrical shapes. Therefore, I would strongly suggest to her to keep pursuing this beautiful passion she has by practicing and studying it, including acquiring education on the technical aspects of photography, and information on the great masters that made and still make this discipline an art as well as a profession.
If you will ever come back to Italy, do not forget to contact me since from next year I will provide fully organized multiday private tours through Umbria, Tuscany and Puglia. These tours will have a photography focus but they will also include food and wine tastings, visits to vineyards, as well as to Italian master artisans' workshop to have a real experience of our most authentic culture.
Best regards,
Giulio
