Experience the beauty of Umbria through your camera at Behind the Lens in Umbria, a three-day immersive photography workshop led by acclaimed photographers Andrew French and Friderika Wollweber. From May 8–10, 2026, a small group of photographers will explore ancient hilltop towns, sunlit vineyards, and intimate portraits, guided by hands-on sessions that blend technical instruction with creative freedom.

This Italy photo workshop is perfect for both emerging and professional photographers who want to expand their creative vision, capture stunning images, and experience Italian culture in a way few travelers ever do. Casale San Cristoforo, a beautifully restored property in the Umbrian countryside, serves as our home base, where mornings begin, evenings end, and group gatherings take place. You’ll learn advanced portrait and landscape techniques, work with natural light, and leave with a body of work that reflects your personal vision.
