What People Are Saying
“Photographing and working with Steve McCurry and Eolo Perfido was a dream come true. Looking back on the past few days and reflecting upon the sheer amount of time spent learning photography has made me realize how even more special this workshop was, be it the amazingly friendly participants or the incredibly knowledgeable teachers, Eolo and Steve. The street and studio days had a very hands-on approach and were really helpful. It has been an absolute privilege to meet and learn from them. I will cherish this for a lifetime!”

“It was such a treat to get to watch both Steve and Eolo at work and get a glimpse of their respective artistic sensitivity and approach to capture beauty. They were so generous sharing their knowledge and time!
The setting in the streets of Rome, the passion and friendliness of the workshop participants, and the good humor and dedication of the team at the studio made it an unforgettable experience, a genuine human adventure.
This workshop helped deepen my passion for photography as a way to engage with the world. It opened my horizons to new ways of appreciating art and a new, more disciplined, mindset to capturing it. I improved on the technical side, especially with respect to light and studio photography, which I didn’t know too much about. And I made a few close friends along the way. “

“The workshop changed my focus while making photography. I focus more on the human element and in this way create an emotional bridge between the photo and the viewer. Overall the workshop impacted me greatly from an emotional point of view and gave me new inspirations for life.”
— Patrick U, Germany
“The workshop exceeded my expectations in every aspect (and they were crazy high!). Both Steve and Eolo were exemplary in their own distinct way of sharing their passion with us participants. They were really didactical, available, kind and very generous in their advice and feedback. And even the opportunity of simply watching two incredible photographers at work was already very inspiring. The balance between theory/studio sessions and shootings in the streets was perfect and we were able to touch various work environments and photography styles in the course of a single week.
The size of the group was perfect not to feel too ‘invasive’ in the streets of Rome and allowed everyone to get plenty of personalized feedback and support. The group got along very well and the atmosphere was really friendly, respectful and joyful. The assistants and the staff in Rome were absolutely fantastic, kind and helpful in any possible way. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone - from complete beginner to advanced photographer - curious to spend a great time in a fantastic setting with people sharing the same passion for photography.

“The Rome Street photography and portrait workshop with Steve and Eolo was the most incredible learning experience I have had! A wonderful combination of street and studio, natural light and artificial light, street scenes and models made it so interesting with both Steve and Eolo very involved and hands on with us all day. Remarkably well curated! We observed, we learnt and we asked a lot of questions! Above all it was fun! I would do a workshop with them again in a heartbeat. “

“This workshop was like a dream. Too short and beautiful. Learning from two masters while discovering a new city and meeting wonderful people. Eolo and Steve have very different approaches to photography which made the workshop even more enriching. Thank you all for the memories that will certainly last a lifetime.”
