Nothing but First Class

Emmanuele was an excellent Photographer,we clicked right away.Meeting location was spot on, prompt meet up.This was by far the Best experience in my 20 days in Italy.His experience navigating and picking out locations to shoot was second to none.In our conversations he was able to communicate effectively and greatly aided my technique.I would do it again in Rome with Emanuele.If fact my experience was so good I will do another tour in other Cities in the future.

This photo masterclass far exceeded my expectations.

I can't say enough about this photo masterclass. Our instructor was not only extremely knowledgeable about technical photography but was a true artistic genius at composition and street photo techniques. I honestly learned more in this two hour class then in 20 years of photo experience and camera shop classes. I highly recommend this.

Perfect Way to Take Memorable Photos from Local Expert

My guide, Emanuele, was phenomenal! For nearly six hours we traversed the length of the Centro Storico and Colosseo area, talking and taking great photos along the way. As a local, he knew the perfect locations to get shots that easily rose above the standard tourist photos. He was also a great instructor, helping me every step of the way to improve my shooting skills. This was my second Aperture tour and I can't wait to take my next one.

Great phototour

I had a really great photography tour with Emanuele. He’s very knowledgeable and a talented photographer, with a beautiful portfolio to match. He shared practical tips and tricks that immediately helped me improve my landscape shots. We walked around some stunning spots near the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese, and he knew exactly where to go for the best angles and light. He was also very flexible, easygoing, and professional throughout. I’d definitely recommend him if you want to improve your photography while exploring beautiful places.

Great Experiential Learning

Emanuele Serraino was awesome! He led me through three hours of engaging instruction that not only improved my technical skill but really enhanced my understanding of composition and how to "see" in a city-scape. Really valuable experience and I will happily recommend Emanuele to others.

Operator response

Great to hear the session sharpened both technical skills and how you read the city visually. That deeper understanding of composition and seeing is exactly what we aim to share, and we really appreciate the recommendation.

Fantastic.

Learned a lot. He explained what to think about to make a photo good. Forests, objects, the light and contrasts.

Operator response

Så roligt att höra att du lärde dig mycket och fick en tydligare känsla för vad som gör ett foto bra, från ljus och kontraster till hur motiv och skuggor spelar ihop. Tack för att du gick med oss.

Well worth the money!!

Emanuele did not look at his watch and at the end we spent about an hour more. His practical tips were for me excellent and the places we went we could put them in practise. Had a fun morning with a good and friendly guide.

Operator response

Great to hear you had such a fun morning, with plenty of time to put those practical tips into action in some fantastic locations.

Learn, Shoot, and Be Inspired in Rome by Night

I had the opportunity to take a one-on-one night photography masterclass in Rome with Emanuele, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The session was incredibly informative. While my main goal was to improve my technical skills in night photography—and we definitely covered a lot in that area—we also explored other key aspects of photography, including composition, focal length, white balance, and more. What really stood out was how well Emanuele tailored the session to my interests. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and flexible, making sure our time together focused on the areas that interested me the most. On top of the instruction, he took me to a couple of incredible vantage points that offered truly breathtaking views of Rome at night. By the end of the evening, I had at least a dozen images I’m genuinely proud of—some of the best I’ve ever taken. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in photography, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. It was absolutely worth the investment.

Operator response

Wonderful to know the masterclass helped you develop new skills while capturing some of your best images yet, all from incredible night-time vantage points in Rome.
