A course by Luca Abbadati

In an era dominated by images and in which anyone can improvise as a photographer, it seems impossible for some works to emerge more than others. Yet professionals like Luca Abbadati, architect and photographer, manage to plan and develop a photographic project so well that it is immediately recognizable and appreciated.

Luca has created this course specifically to reveal his work process, from conceptual planning to choosing the most suitable location, including the post-production and printing phase. At the end of the lessons, you will be proudly in possession of an interesting landscape photography book, ideal for making yourself known, participating in exhibitions or feeding your portfolio.

A course by Luca Abbadati

Teacher Plus
Landscape Photographer

Architect by training and self-taught photographer, Luca Abbadati is passionate about what he calls "telling in the void", that is, portraying places and spaces without a human component but full of stories to tell. He has dedicated one of his most emblematic projects to this genre of narrative photography, “Solo, Milano”, commissioned by Mondadori Portfolio during the lockdown.

His works, inspired both by the style of David Hockney or Edward Hopper and by the films of David Lynch and Wim Wenders, arise from the analysis of a territory and take shape thanks to an analytical research approach and the gaze of a designer.
