Forever Florence

Join KelbyOne instructor and master of long-exposure photography, Mimo Meidany, and me in some of Italy's most romantic cities for an unforgettable photography journey.

Florence is a top destination for photographers as it concentrates an extraordinary amount of art, architecture, and history into a compact, walkable city. Renaissance masterpieces fill landmarks like the Duomo (seen above), Uffizi, and Ponte Vecchio, while everyday streets and piazzas feel like open‑air museums, making it easy to capture beauty simply by wandering around with our cameras. We’ll also take a day trip by train to the coastal towns of Cinque Terre, which are remarkably photogenic, quaint, and full of character and charm. In 2025, Florence was named Europe’s best city for travelers in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, with readers praising its architecture, Renaissance heritage, food, and welcoming character. Florence was also among the top‑ranked cities worldwide, underscoring its strong standing even among other famous European destinations. We’ll split our time between shooting on location in Florence and Cinque Terre, and learning and post-processing our images in the classroom.
