Las Vegas, NV (February 16, 2009) WPPI Booth #1719 – Kubota Image Tools is pleased to announce its return to Italy for its 5th creative photography workshop for professional and advanced amateur photographers. This 7-day photography workshop (May 2-8, 2010) will include many exciting photo excursions, classroom instruction, photography critiquing and more.

“My wife Clare and I are so excited to return for our fifth creative photography workshop in Italy – a country we believe to be one of the most beautiful on Earth,” said Kevin Kubota, Idea Man of Kubota Image Tools. “If you’re looking for inspiration in your life as well as your photography, there’s nothing like a trip to Italy. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time there or your tenth; it really is a life changing experience.”

For photographers who have never had the opportunity to travel to Italy, this is the perfect way to experience it and photograph it. For those photographers that have been to Italy before, then they already know why they want to go back. This time husband and wife team Kevin and Clare Kubota will share some of the undiscovered gems of this beautiful country that they know so well.
This trip will include daily photo excursions and escorted trips to locations still to be announced. There will be brief daily classroom time (1-2 hours) to discuss photo projects that will be assigned, talks about creativity followed by creative exercises, and the opportunity for participants to apply fine art Photoshop skills on their images. Class size is limited to 20 participants.

The cost of the 7-day trip is still to be announced. Please visit www.kubotaimagetools.com for updated trip information. The price will include lodging, all ground transportation (attendees are responsible for airfare to and from Italy), several meals throughout the trip, guided tours, classroom instruction, photography review and a DVD of the class images and experience. The tour is organized and guided by native Italians, Max and Cristiana, who live in Umbria and have an incredible zest for sharing their culture and a unique insight into what the essence of Italy really is. This is not a typical tourist trip. It’s a photographic and cultural adventure!
