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

Photography lovers can make a real difference with their behavior and their images.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EDUCATION
DELPHICAPHOTO photo trekking are an opportunity to broaden your knowledge and experience:
● you learn to understand the environment around you and to harmonize with it
● your sensitivity towards all forms of life and the whole environment grows
● you learn to move in nature during your shots, applying simple principles of respect
● you learn to observe to find the composition that best corresponds to your vision, and to wait for the light that best expresses your
sensitivity
● you learn to choose between the different photographic techniques and the different types of filters to express in the images your feeling alive and vibrant of that moment
● your photographs bear witness to the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting it for all who will see them
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 Gentile, Nature First, Leave No Trace, POW, Photography Ethics Centre.

Testimonials
Find out how DELPHICAPHOTO Photo Trekking are an experience that helps you discover new ways to express your talents
"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.
"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."
Davide F.
"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."
