PHOTOGRAPHIC TREKS


The magic of discovering wonderful places to admire and photograph

DELPHICAPHOTO photographic treks are aimed at you who:

 

  • love photography and walking in nature with awareness
  • think unconventionally and have a free spirit
  • believe in the creative energy and in the endless potential of the human being
  • recognize the value of nature, make daily choices that respect it and care about environmental sustainability
  • want to learn more about how to behave responsibly on your photography excursions
  • want to try new immersive experiences that involve all the senses in harmony with your surroundings
  • want to improve your photographic technique, but above all let yourself be inspired and bring out your free and authentic vision
  • love silence and feel a spiritual attraction for boundless spaces that make the depths of your being vibrate
  • love backpacking, you appreciate a genuine diet made of local products and you're happy to meet the people who made them
  • have a spirit of adaptation and collaboration, you are not afraid of climbs and rain, you want to look others in the eye and share your passions

 

Then you are a Phototrekker and these treks are made just for you!

Do you feel like you're not capable, too old, or not good enough?

Photo trekkings are an opportunity to free yourself from these useless prejudices that weigh down your wings instead of starting to fly into the adventure of landscape photography.

For everyone there has been a moment in which we understood that the only way to really feel good about ourselves was to listen to our own inner voice, the one that directs us towards the right situations and people for us, for our evolution.

 

So why not start by participating in photographic treks? Why not leave behind what we were yesterday and instead enter a new flow of energy, a new expressive experience?

It is the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves.

  We shall not cease from exploration
  And the end of all our exploring
  Will be ti arrive where we started
  And know the place for the first time

PHOTOGRAPHY ETHICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Today it is increasingly important to develop an ecological mentality that is based on considering the human being as a co-star of an integrated whole.

 

According to the hypothesis of the biophilia the human being has "an innate tendency that leads him to focus his attention on the different forms of life and on everything that remembers them and, in a certain sense, to associate himself emotionally with them in a sort of empathy that leads him to appreciate diversity."

 

From this way of being in the world arises the need to abandon any futile selfishness to understand how much it is instead the experience of an "we" that gives meaning to every daily choice.

 

It is possible to enjoy nature and preserve it as an essential value in itself, in our life and in the life of the next generations. DELPHICAPHOTO photo trekking are committed to transmitting the importance of small gestures of sustainability:

  •  respecting all forms of life and ecosystems as a whole
  • implementing responsible and non-destructive behavior
  • showing gratitude for what nature gives us continuously.

 

For these reasons, I support non-profit organizations and movements that share my same vision, including: Italia GentileNature FirstLeave No TracePOW, Photography Ethics Centre.

Nicole photo

"I live in Switzerland where I attended a photography course with my first SLR, but I had never participated in a photographic trek. Despite the embarrassment I wanted to try. Ylenia immediately put me at ease, she guided me during the shots and helped me get rid of many stereotypes I learned. Thus I learned to bring out my way of seeing what I am surrounds and follow my instincts. Now I have become more confident in my abilities."


Nicole K.

Davide photo

"I deal with design but as soon as I can I escape from Milan and go to the mountains. The idea of a photographic trek attracted me immediately and I wanted to test my new wide angle lens. Me Ylenia's competence in the technical field and her interpersonal skills, attentive to the needs of each participant, impressed. I was able to experiment with long exposures and, thanks to Ylenia's patience and explanations, I managed to get the shot I wanted."

Foto di Elisa

"I took part in the photo trekking in autumn, after my divorce, when I rediscovered the pleasure of nature and photography that helped me overcome that period. Ylenia was very good at understanding my need for creativity and new experiences. She gave me a lot of ideas to take the photos I wanted against the light with unusual angles, using macro lenses for details. She showed me that a single ray of sunshine can create an enchanted atmosphere and my sensitivity can bring a landscape to life."
