Giulia

Hi!

My name is Giulia, I'm 23 and I live in Turin, Italy.

Photography is one of my greatest passions, that's the reason why I became a Cinema and Communication Engineer.

I like to challenge myself and experiment, trying to capture special moments from all around the world with my camera.

I have participated in Discover Marrakech IV.

THE  PARTICIPANTS

After the great success of the last five editions,  Let me Italian you is ready to launch the sixth and exclusive edition of DISCOVER LISBON
 

"Light, say artists, is all important to creating a masterpiece. The azure sky over Lisbon, long hours of summer sunshine and golden sunsets are factors that ensure many visitors go home with fond memories and great photographs of the Portuguese capital. "  Welcome to Lisbon: the City of Light.

DISCOVER LISBON is an innovative project whose purpose is to make the participants live a professional experience for those who love photography and video making

The main goal of the project is to valorise and promote the magical and picturesque  city of Lisbon, in Portugal, through photos, reportage, videos made by photographers (amateurs or not) from different places of the world. DISCOVER LISBON wants to enrich the professional and academic path of the photographer, moreover it wants to enrich his portfolio.

DISCOVER LISBON is supported by IADE-Universidade Europeia.

The two tours of the city are organized in collaboration with Rita the Guide, a professional local guide,who knows all the sights of Lisbon and will take you on a guided tour. Exactly:

1° Tour - Alfama: Alfama is one of the oldest districts in Europe and the former red light district of Lisbon. Surviving the great earthquake of 1755, Alfama is home to relics of the Arabic occupation in the 8th century, roman ruins and monuments regarding the foundation of Portugal 900 years ago! This maze-like little village inside the center of Lisbon will transport you to a simpler time where kids play on the streets, neighbors get together on a daily basis, doors are not locked and where the cars don't fit. Come wander these lost in time streets with a home made ginjinha, discover the birthplace of fado or just chat while drinking a portuguese glass of wine and tasting an amazing cheese platter.                  It includes: Cathedral of Lisbon - The castle of Lisbon - Labyrinth of old Alfama streets - History of Alfama - History of fado.

2° Tour - Downtown: With this tour you get to know the full history of Lisbon that originates as far as 3000 years ago, all the way up to the key events of XXI century Lisbon. We will see the highlights and the top attractions of its unique downtown area, the best viewpoints of the seven hills, talk about culture, literature and politics. The best way to understand the Portuguese people and the country's evolution, from its glorious past until today's Europe best well-kept secret.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             It includes: All downtown area - Best sightseeing points - Historical monuments, churches and ruins - Full Lisbon history.

3° Tour - Belem: Belem is the charming district to the west of Lisbon, and is the setting for many of the city’s most iconic tourist attractions. For visitors, Belem is one of the finest areas of Lisbon, and offers outstanding tourist attractions, informative museums and beautiful views along the Tejo Estuary. Belem is unlike the rest of Lisbon, being filled with parks, tree-lined plazas and green open spaces, and is a breath of fresh air from claustrophobic and chaotic central Lisbon. It includes:  Degustation of Pastel de Belem at Fábrica Pastéis de Belém - Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Torre de Belem.

 

In order to improve participants’ professional and academic skills, there will be several workshops and photoshooting:

I'm a chemist and I'm going to attend university in september, but in the meanwhile I like dedicating myself to different activities: reading,traveling, working out, listening to music, meeting new different culture people and particularly take photos: I've discovered the photography's world recently but my interest is becoming bigger and bigger, so this adventure could be the perfect solution for me to practice and discover another angle of the planet!

Hi everyone! It’s Emanuele, here.

I’m only a human being from “Caput Mundi”, Rome, Italy.

My “lifemotiv” is travelling, not only phisically but above all spiritually, because you can also turn all the world, but if you don’t cultivate your spirit, the most important questions…it would be like a “vacation”…

I’m here to explore this “engagement” I have for pictures and how they could tell stories, but mostly to have the opportunity to share it with other people, finding others points of view and what photography means for us.

At the moment, it’s all… See you in Lisbon!

Emanuele

I interest for photography begun when I was a child but it became more than a simple hobby for the last three years. Since Photography has a main role in the independent publications I’d love to jump into this world and discover its secrets.Since I got my first semi-professional camera, I started exploring a variety of styles and subjects. My favourite one is definitely B and W photography. I specifically like to catch details of daily moments and common places and most of my photos want to communicate a sort of feeling of peace and silence, even though they are taken in crowded and lively places.This is my first time taking part in LetMeItalianYou project and I’m so excited to do it and share this experience with you all.

Hi, my name is Valeria and I'm from Turin. I've always been in love with travel and the discover of the new places I've never been and maybe just seen on a photo. Due to different difficulties I've never been able to do this and now that I can I'm gonna catch the opportunity. I don't know where this passion came from, but I've found myself one day with this huge love in my heart, even if there's a difficult relationship between me and photography. Most of all I like to take portrait photos. I like how this can take out the true itself of a person, and I love my subjects to be real and sincere with myself and my camera.
