I have many years of experience as both a photographer and videographer but as a creative professional it is very important to me to seek out and learn from the top photographers and videographers in the world. This past September I traveled to Italy to attend The Pursuit of Excellence photography workshop at the Ciconi Castle in the heart of the Dolomites, Northern Italy, in the Valley of Pielungo. The instructors were four of the top photographers in the world. Fashion photographer Lindsay Adler, editorial portrait photographer Chris Knight, and wedding photographers Jerry & Melissa Ghionis.

I had a great time traveling to Europe. It was a great learning experience not only from the instructors but also my fellow photographers who attended. The workshop was sponsored by Graphi Studio, an Italian company that makes wedding albums and fine art photo prints. Graphi Studio also owns the castle.
