Discover Cinque Terre
Ed Kashi
SKILL LEVEL: II - IV
concept: Cinque Terre links five medieval villages along northern Italy’s Riviera through an
enchanting labyrinth of walking trails. Tiny communities, each with their own distinct dialects
and heritage, endured centuries of feudal rule
to emerge as dream destinations, featuring
fine Ligurian cuisine and stunning views along
a steep, terraced coastline.
We explore the five villages between
Monterosso and Riomaggiore by train, ferry
and foot. We traverse the low, cliffside route
between villages and detour occasionally to
dramatic hilltop sanctuaries. From our base in
Monterosso al Mare, we explore new ways to
tell stories with greater authorship and control.
This workshop focuses on how to create a
personal documentary project in a land of rich
culture, magnificent views and infinite photographic opportunities.
Our ultimate goal is to discover a subject that
speaks to a personal passion and document it
in a compelling and unique visual style. Expect
discussions and practical experience for
richer storytelling, image editing and narrative
development.
Additional topics include managing digital workflow, creating multimedia projects and developing a portfolio. Ed works personally with

students in the field. The workshop includes
individual and group reviews, personal assignments and lots of fun. Our aim is to raise our
awareness and spark our creativity so that we
return home not only with images to be proud
of, but with newfound skills to improve and
expand our overall photographic technique.
We strike a balance between fieldwork and
critiques, technical and aesthetic material, and
the freedom to explore and photograph this
spectacular region.
We recommend flying to Genoa or Pisa which
have good train connections to Cinque Terre.
We suggest that students book accommodations in the old town section of Monterosso
al Mare, as this will be our base for the workshop. A detailed list of hotel suggestions can
be found on our website.
