WHY WE TRAVEL

Travel not only broadens the mind: it shapes it.
Some people travel to lose themselves, some people travel to find themselves. Travelling is certainly a powerful experience of personal transformation.
Exploring new places, cultures and ways of life can open consciousness, broaden perspectives and lead to greater awareness of oneself and the world around one.
While travelling, one faces challenges, overcomes fears and gains self-confidence.
You meet different people: you also learn to develop greater empathy and understanding for others through this.
In addition, travel can offer the opportunity to discover hidden passions, rediscover oneself and find new directions in life.
Whether it is a short trip or a long-term adventure, travelling can certainly transform one's life in surprising and meaningful ways.
Travelling teaches disorientation: it gets us used to always feeling like strangers in life, even at home; but also that being strangers among strangers is perhaps the only way to be truly brothers.
That is why the destination of the journey is human beings. Travelling means adding life to life.

    WHAT IT MEANS TO TRAVEL WITH TTL

    It means 'travelling to learn by learning to travel'.
    To travel in a meaningful way, it is essential to approach our journey as a true educational process.
    It requires commitment and dedication on the part of the participants and professional guidance to accompany them in this experience.
    Each of our journeys will be preceded, for those who wish to do so, by a preparation/approach to it through a dedicated webinar on NikonSchool.co.uk and will be followed by a later phase of shared review of the experience, also on the portal nikonschool.co.uk.
    TTL uses a 'slow travel' approach.
    Our journey is not a simple movement from point A to point B.
    Every part of it is a piece of the experience.
    That is why we favour the means that give us the possibility of unexpected stops and schedule changes.
    Our constant guidance will help you learn new ways to approach travelling with photography; that is, to make it an individual experience, allowing each person to connect with the history and life of the place in a more intimate and personal way.
    Safety and comfort in our travels are a priority, and choosing comfortable hotels and sustainable transport contributes to an enjoyable yet responsible experience.
    Photography and writing will be an integral part of this experience: we will provide you with the best tools to capture and narrate the beauty and complexity of the local culture through the creation of a visual and narrative diary of this unique adventure.

    WHAT IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY

    A photographic journey is more than just an opportunity to take pictures; it is a complete experience that involves the eye, the mind, the heart using the lens of your camera.
    A photographic journey allows you to hone your photography skills while exploring new places, cultures and landscapes.
    New sceneries and environments become a source of inspiration for your photographic creativity. Photographing in beautiful and relaxing places can be a way to banish stress and tension. Photography can become a form of creative meditation.
    A photographic journey is an opportunity to try out new photographic techniques in different contexts, such as night photography, landscape photography or street photography.
    Travelling while photographing amplifies the ability to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Photography helps to look at things in a different light.

    DAILY WRAP-UP WITH THE MASTER

    An important moment in TTL trips is the daily confrontation between participants and masters.

    In the evening, after dinner, for those who wish, we will dedicate some time to reviewing the day through the photographs we took and the feelings that each of us made our own. It is a precious moment of analysis that starts from the technical and photographic analysis to seek motivations in the choices and outline for each of the participants.

    THE WORD DIALOGUES WITH THE IMAGE...

    To write is to travel without the burden of luggage. That is what we will do when we return from our travels.
    It will be 'a journey within a journey'.
    We take photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
    Writing, even the most delicate writing, is the heart laid bare, it is outrageousness, it is thrill.
    The book that will follow our photographic journey, after our return to Italy, represents an opportunity to deepen and tell the stories we will have experienced: of people, places and cultures encountered during the journey.

    ...AND TOGETHER, THEY MAKE BOOK

    Each of us can describe our personal experience, the challenges we faced and the emotions we experienced.
    We will look for all this in the images we have taken with our camera or simply in those we have brought home with our eyes.
    And those who wish, among the participants, can also be protagonists of this 'journey within a journey'. By constructing the book that will constitute the visible and eternal memory of this experience. By preparing and setting up, alongside the book, a photographic exhibition.
    The desire to discover, the urge to excite, the taste for capturing, three concepts that sum up the why of photography.
    Because a good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and changes a person after seeing it. It is, in a word, effective.

    and make a gesture of solidarity.
