After the great success of the first edition, Let me Italian you is proudly ready to launch the second and exclusive edition of DISCOVER STOCKHOLM.
It will be a unique and exclusively edition for the all 2024!
Stockholm is known as one of the most inclusive and welcoming cities in the world. Its contemporary, urban appeal is balanced with centuries-old history and closeness to nature. As for the things to do in Stockholm, the list is endless. Spreading idyllically across a Baltic Sea archipelago of fourteen islands, it’s easy to see why the Swedish capital of Stockholm has acquired the nickname “Venice of the north”. It seems as if wherever you look, your gaze is met by water.
DISCOVER STOCKHOLM 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 magic city of Stockholm, in Sweden, trough photos, reportage, videos made by photographers (amateurs and not) from different places of the world. DISCOVER STOCKHOLM wants to enrich the professional and academic path of the photographer, moreover it wants to enrich his portfolio.
The two tours of the cities is organized in collaboration with Sofia, a professional local guide, who knows all the sights of Stockholm and will take you on a guided tour . Exactly:
1° Tour "Old Town - Gamla Stan"
2° Tour "Ostermalm & Norrmalm"
3° Tour "Södermalm"
Further, we will visit one of the most beautiful gem in Stockholm: Stockholm Subway System! The Stockholm subway system is said to be the world's longest art exhibit - 110 kilometers long. Traveling by subway is like traveling through an exciting story that extends from the artistic pioneers of the 1950s to the art experiments of today.
But it is not enough! We'll go to visit two of the most charming viewpoints of Stochkolm: Monteliusvägen (considered to be one of the best and most romantic viewpoints in Stockholm) and Fjällgatan (the Stockholmers love their Fjällgatan. They call the vantage point affectionately their “balcony”).
Last but not least, we will visit one of the most important park in all Stockholm: Humlegarden.
In order to improve participants’ professional and academic skills, there will be several workshops :
- Lecture with the internationally renowned Björn Persson
- Workshop “Portrait Photography" lead by the photographer Susanna Ldky
- Outdoor Photo Shooting with local models in Humlegården
