Covid19 is something we can’t ignore. For this reason, for this Masterclass, I’m going to implement all the possible actions to minimize any risk of possible contagion.

However, something out of our control may happen, like government local restrictions or complete lockdowns. That’s why for this workshop I’m going to apply special refund policies in order to minimize your risk and potential economical loss.

Right now, we can expect 3 Covid19 scenarios:

1. No Covid19 impact
2. Government lockdown in your country
3. Government lockdown in Italy

Scenario 1: No Covid19 impact

This is the expected case. However, to minimize your risk, balance is due only 30 days before the Masterclass. In case of your cancelation not due to Covid19, standard cancellation policies apply (please refer to “Cancellation Policies” section)

Scenario 2: Government lockdown in your country

In this case, the workshop will be confirmed, but I will do everything I can to let you get your money back.

If the lockdown happens before you paid the final balance (balance is due 30 days before the Masterclass), you will be refunded with your deposit minus the quota of the fixed expenses that I can’t get back (example: hotel). Evidence of this will be given.

If this happens after you paid the final balance, you will be refunded with the full amount of the workshop (deposit + balance) minus the quota of the fixed expenses that I can’t get back (example: hotel). Evidence of this will be given.

Scenario 3: Government lockdown in Italy 

In this case, neither I nor you are allowed to travel to Italy. For this reason, the Masterclass will be canceled.

If this happens you will get the full refund of what you paid to me for this Masterclass.

For this any other scenario, we strongly suggest you take into consideration the subscription of a Travel Insurance.

The accommodation is included as single occupancy in an exclusive Hotel in one of the Cinque Terre villages. This will let us not only to be in the real heart of Cinque Terre for all our shooting activities, but it will let us enjoy our relaxing time surrounded by traditions and charm. Look at the pictures above to have an idea!

No particular physical preparation is required. Just short walks and many stairways are waiting for us 🙂

The best part of the Private Classes is that we can really define every detail according to your skills. After your reservation, a free one hour Skype session is included in order to review your works and to plan your unforgettable experience!

The following equipment is suggested:

• Digital SLR camera
• Wide-angle lens
• Tripod
• Remote shutter
• Photographic filters

Thanks to my sponsors I will be able to provide photographic filters and tripods. For any questions, do not hesitate to contact me via email!

In order to confirm the reservation, a deposit of the 30% is required. The balance is required no later than 30 days before the Masterclass as per Covid19 mitigation policies.

I really hope you’ll not change idea or something happens, but in any case here the rules in case you’ll decide to cancel (so according to “Scenario 1” of Covid19 Mitigation Policies):

• Within 90 days from the date of the Workshop: you’ll lose just the deposit
• Within 60 days from the date of the workshop: penalty of 50% of the course fee
• Within 30 days from the date of the Workshop: penalty of 75% of the course fee
• From 29 days to the date of the Workshop: 100% penalty of the course fee

The Masterclass is deliberately planned in a season with a significant meteorological instability to have a greater possibility of having interesting light conditions. Obviously we can not control the weather, but we can adapt to it. In case of heavy rain, the course will be held in any case giving more emphasis to the post production and class theory.
