Leonardo L.
The masterclass was really a game changer for me. Not only did I learn how to compose the final image directly at the shooting stage, but I also began to approach wildlife photography more consciously and with greater intention. I am slowly stopping shooting wildly, replacing a casual approach with a more reasoned and conscious one. Moreover, by following Chiara's many tips and improving the shooting phase, I am finding myself editing much more quickly. Chiara is an outstanding teacher, and she has tackled such a complex subject clearly and simply without being obvious. Her examples are always inspiring and give the right inputs to put into practice what I learned during the Masterclass.
Pascal C.
A very thorough, well structured and beautifully illustrated masterclass. Chiara obviously put a lot of thought and work in preparing it, and one can feel her pleasure in sharing her knowledge. The workbook is a most useful tool to ensure that for each participant the masterclass will be more than just a 2h online event, but a the beginning of a new stage in their journey.
Catherine L.
This masterclass was packed with practical information, explained in non technical language with clear examples and advice. The best photography course I have taken! Chiara had so much energy and enthusiasm for the topic. Such a joy to watch. I learned a lot.
Anita U.
This Masterclass has to be the most thorough explanation of composition for photographing birds and how colours, where you place the subject, cropping, lighting, and more, affects the mood and story of the photo.
Marie G.
This masterclass was brillantly taught and Chiara made it really easy and fun for us to understand the main rules of composition, as well as how to think more about it both before we press the shutter button and after we've taken the picture, in post production. The 2 hours didn't feel long at all and I'm excited for more masterclasses from Chiara. There are many people out there who sell masterclasses for a lot of money and end up not saying much in them, but Chiara packed this one with so much knowledge, I actually felt more confident and I was able to apply her tips from day 1.
Giorgia C.
Chiara's videos have a way of getting to you in a way that makes you more aware of what you do and why. You put effort in your work, follow her guidelines and advice, and one day you realise that you know why you're taking a photo in that particular way. You know what you're doing, but you also know why you're not doing something else, which might sound elementary, but in fact is very difficult and essential. It's not easy to teach awareness, but Chiara is very good at that.
Simon D.
Chiara is a thoughtful and inspiring teacher, she makes you feel that you CAN go out and take better photos no matter what your experience level.
Claudia D.
Chiara’s masterclass was not only a photography lesson, it was an invite to open my soul to photography, looking at it as an instrument to express my love for nature, and to deliver my view to other’s. Her approach combine scientific and technical skills with her emotional and sensitive taste. Plus, I deeply appreciate the style of the slides and the reference done to paintings!
Alma K.
I took a few Online Classes from different Photographers but no one did get me so inspired about not giving up as beginner as Chiara did. She is a professional but most importantly kind, good teacher that brings out material easy understable.
Alton M.
Your course helped move me from snapshots towards pro shots.
Matt H.
Chiara's Masterclass was extremely helpful for a beginner like me. Everything was explained clearly with plenty of examples to follow and I am very happy with her willingness to answer questions and interact with students. After finishing the course, I feel like I am approaching my photography in a whole new way!
Brenda H.
Chiara's Masterclass teaches you to look at your photography and photographs with a professional eye. You will come away from this course with great ideas on how to improve your wildlife photography..

For how long will I have access to the Masterclass?

The course will be yours forever!

I have just started and don't have professional equipment. Is this still for me?

If you started yesterday, or plan to start tomorrow, it doesn’t matter. The course will cover all the basics of composition. There is way too much emphasis put on gear. Surely gear can be helpful, however it is just a tool. The best set-up is the one you have right now to start practicing. You will learn during the Masterclass that gear doesn’t play a major role in composition at all. 

Isn't the information about composition available elsewhere for free?

Composition is a very overlooked topic in wildlife photography, with most of information available not going beyond really basic principles as the rule of thirds or limited to tips as “shoot eye level”. The Masterclass provides an exclusive in-depth presentation of composition principles, starting from design to photography-specific ones with all the specific nuances of Wildlife Photography – with plenty of practical and real-life examples. The goal is not to give you tips and tell you what to do, but to equip you with the necessary knowledge to take an informed decision about composition everytime you’re shooting.

I have some questions. Can I contact someone?
