The second travel with a photoreporter: Bruno Zanzottera, journalist, photorepoter of ParalleloZero, drive the participants to discover not only a wonderful country, ma how to take picturs during a trip!

To know how to get the right place and – once you are there – how to move around, how to interact with the environment and the people, how to be a totally natural presence: these are the premises to take a good photo.
The photoreporters of ParalleloZero have a long experience and have been working for many years all over the world, in secluded countries, in war areas, in contact with proud and distrustful cultures and the wildest nature: they know pretty well how to get the right place and how to move around.
Travelling with one of the photoreporters of ParalleloZero we will be able to learn all the secrets to plan a reportage, how to use a camera and when it’s better not, hot to obtain the maximum from the light, how to find the subjects, the best cures, and day by day how to put into practice all the techniques to realize your personal reportage. You will learn to take photos, but also to know local cultures and traditions, to communicate in the most effective way, to open the doors that generally remain closed.
