Day 1
Morning
Participants arrive before noon and settle into the workshop environment, taking time to familiarise themselves with the space and with one another.
Afternoon
The workshop opens with a welcome session and an introduction to Teresa’s approach to colour as a narrative language in photography. Teresa shares key references and examples from her work, offering a first immersion into how colour can shape meaning, guide the viewer and create coherence within a story. A collective review of participants’ portfolios follows, allowing Teresa to understand each person’s visual tendencies. Together, the group discusses expectations and defines the individual goals for the workshop. The afternoon concludes with an introduction to the role of colour, composition and context in building a strong photographic narrative.
Day 2
Morning
The first fieldwork session begins with a colour-focused photowalk in Venice. Participants explore everyday life, observe the natural palette of the city and learn to identify chromatic relationships that can support storytelling. Teresa provides guidance on how to look for recurring tonal elements, anticipate interactions between colour and light and build intention before pressing the shutter.
Afternoon
Shooting continues across selected areas of Venice, encouraging participants to develop a consistent way of seeing through colour. Teresa offers individual feedback throughout the walk, helping refine framing, strengthen the use of colour as a structuring element and clarify the emerging narrative of each participant’s mini-series.
Day 3
Morning
The group returns to the field for further photographic exploration, deepening ongoing stories or shifting to new angles within the same chosen locations. The focus is on rhythm, chromatic coherence and the ability to connect diverse subjects through colour. Participants work on enriching their series with variety while maintaining unity.
Afternoon
The afternoon is dedicated to editing. Teresa guides participants through a first selection of their images, working on building a visual sequence that makes sense both narratively and chromatically. The session focuses on tightening the edit, identifying the strongest images and understanding how colour creates transitions, contrasts and meaning. Each participant prepares a concise sequence for the final presentation.
Day 4
Morning
Participants gather for a collective presentation of the work produced during the workshop. Each series is discussed with attention to colour, storytelling and overall coherence. The group shares feedback, constructive critique and reflections on their evolving photographic approach. Teresa highlights strengths, areas for improvement and possible directions for future work.
Afternoon
The workshop concludes with final exchanges, closing remarks and a moment to reflect on the experience shared in Venice.
