The street photography workshop was perfect for experiencing Renato’s perspective side-by-side and working on exposing by eye. The darkroom workshop helped me to bring out the most detail out of my negatives and achieve the best result possible.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/2c1ed6cd-20cc-4f0b-b469-ab3b8f0eb2ca/ARV_01.jpg WORKSHOPS - Arvian “I took a workshop with Renato during my trip to Kyoto and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of black-and-white film photography. I gained so much just from the initial briefing session - his approach to exposure and development helped me build a clearer mental model for planning my shots. Renato doesn’t just explain how to meter and shoot film; he dives into the why behind each decision. For instance, I had heard you should meter for the shadows when shooting film, but now I truly understand the reasoning behind it. During our photo walk, I challenged myself to visualize exposures before taking each shot. I only wish I had signed up for the two-day workshop to get the full picture of the entire developing and printing process." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/05d3bc15-7877-47ca-b6f7-8af7020fe3db/Klio_01.jpg WORKSHOPS - Klio “My time in the darkroom with Renato was extremely educational, and I learned so much!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/d6073b07-0fa0-4112-a346-23c9c318cc92/Will_01.jpg WORKSHOPS - William “I traveled to Japan from the US as a tourist. Before my trip, I arranged a workshop with Renato in Kyoto. The workshop was an invaluable experience for my development as an artist, and helped me improve key photography skills. Renato focused on helping me refine my artistic vision and practice through a portfolio review and real-time feedback during the workshop. We focused primarily on composition and producing a consistent body of work. I look forward to another workshop during my next trip to Japan.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/86f606ca-c552-4d6a-8f7c-40e57e76ab77/Preston_01.jpg WORKSHOPS - Preston “Renato’s film photography workshop was an incredibly informative and hands-on experience. He provided a strong foundation in film photography, covering everything from camera mechanics and lenses to composition and exposure techniques. I particularly appreciated learning how to shoot without a light meter using methods like the Sunny 16 rule. The workshop was packed with valuable insights, so I highly recommend bringing a notebook to capture everything. If you’re serious about film photography, this workshop is a must!” https://www.renatorepetto.com/photography-workshops daily 0.75 2026-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/5b449052-bb41-4e49-949d-b3e1572e1169/Composition_3.jpg Photography Workshops - Composition and Framing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/6b64647f-ff58-420d-a8d2-d42041ee6fee/Composition_2b.jpg Photography Workshops - “Knowing what to exclude from the frame is just as important as what you choose to include.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/537dcf99-573e-4c79-9446-ddb777df7f76/Camera_1.jpg Photography Workshops - Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/c1a3c4e5-43e5-4a09-b070-7b504da6087b/Shooting_3.jpg Photography Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.renatorepetto.com/darkroom-workshops daily 0.75 2026-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/2017c0ed-1faf-4ceb-b117-dbe00b3a30a9/Darkroom_1.jpg Darkroom Workshops - “Nothing compares to the unforgettable experience of seeing your images miraculously appear in the paper tray for the very first time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/e51a884e-c071-4710-990a-f7ccdbaabb8b/print_3.jpg Darkroom Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8636d6049079044d5ae7cd/44daf3e7-728f-4e33-917e-378beebf1584/Print_1.jpg Darkroom Workshops - “The best prints are formed from a strong foundation of properly exposed and developed negatives.
