Energy.
A workshop about reverence, depth, and timeless presence.
Let this be a study in stillness and sculpture. In Florence, we lean into the weight of legacy and the grace of design—learning to photograph not just what stands, but what lasts. It’s about form, but also what it carries: stories, silence, memory.
There’s a reverence in the air here. A kind of quiet that sharpens your attention and softens your eye. We’ll walk lines etched by time, study how shadow embraces stone, and explore the way presence becomes part of composition. This is a workshop for the ones who want to look slowly—and feel deeply.
You’ll explore more than the visible. The light here holds something ancient, and every corner hums with history. We’ll spend time not only capturing the inherent beauty of this city, but learning to feel it fully—photographing with intention, seeing with humility, and honoring the quiet architecture of time.
Diving headfirst into each treasured location will guide you into deeper compositional awareness, but also deeper presence. You’ll learn to wait for the light to speak before you press the shutter. In this space, your images become mirrors for your own way of witnessing the world.
This is not about performance. It’s about your perception—of place, of time, of self.
And it might just change how you see—forever.
This three-day Field Workshop is a natural extension of our Tuscany Workshop. If you are joining us in Tuscany, it is not to be missed.
It offers a focused, powerful close—an invitation to refine your vision, reflect on what you’ve gathered, and leave feeling creatively grounded and complete.

Tuition covers three full days of amazing hand-selected locations, and guidance one-on-one with Tony while photographing. This workshop is a field workshop- it’s meant for you to get out a photograph as much as you possibly can!

Our daily schedule is designed to maximize great light and photographic opportunities. We usually begin with a morning photo session on location, followed by a break for you to have a meal or work on your images, followed by an evening shoot. You'll have time to enjoy a leisurely dinner before getting some rest for the day ahead. Our schedule strikes a balance between keeping you busy and allowing enough downtime to rest your creative muscles.
-
We want you to be able to choose the experience that resonates with you based on your preferences and budget, We will let you know where we will be staying and critiquing so you can select the same hotel or one nearby.
-
During our workshop, most of your time will be dedicated to on-location photography, critiques, and editing. There won't be much downtime for leisurely activities or relaxation with your partner as you would on a typical vacation.
If your partner is the independent and easygoing type who can entertain themselves throughout the day, purchasing an extra plane ticket for them might be a good idea. They can explore the local area or engage in their own activities while you focus on the workshop.

So we strongly recommend getting travel insurance; it's always better to be safe than sorry. Check out our Terms of Service link below for details and recommendations.

PB is for photographers who want to take amazing photographs, and we take this very seriously. Time spent on students' computer issues undermines the workshop experience for other participants, and we're just not cool with that. Please ensure all of your technology is up to date and in excellent working order before attending.
-
A working laptop (with plenty of storage and a long-lasting battery and charger cable) with the LATEST version of Lightroom, your camera (in tip-top shape), and any lenses you love and that bring you joy, and some extra cards and batteries, and maybe some sunscreen (reef-safe of course!).
