What people say
Feedback from past tour participants
A couple of years back, I came across an image of Santa Maddalena, Val di Funes. Though at that point I had very little knowledge of photography, the striking contrast in the landscape, form and light of this place completely captivated me. And thus began my relentless research. I don’t drive, and it quickly dawned on me that navigating the Dolomites isn’t easy. As I searched through the work of local photographers from the area who shared my passion, I accidentally stumbled upon my biggest find of the last several years — Federico Antonello. A brilliant photographer, a thorough gentleman, well-spoken, empathetic, and yet gritty at the same time.We developed a great bond during the trip and I have never ceased to admire his intricate knowledge of the terrain and light conditions alike. I’d probably someday…
I warmly recommend Federico Antonello for any photo hike in the Dolomites, thanks to his great knowledge of photography conditions in the area, as well as his friendliness and willingness to help with specific requests. I went to the Dolomites in the summer of 2019 with my family, and a few weeks before the trip I asked Federico if he would be available for a few outings together while my family was doing something else. As soon as I contacted him, he started preparing a tailor-made programme based on my availability, my location during the stay, and the type of photos I wanted to take in the area. He also advised me on the gear to bring along and provided very precise information about the conditions for each hike (driving distance from my place, walking time, difficulty of the hike, etc.). I did two hikes with him, and each time he picked me…
Well!! This was my first mountain adventure for both hiking and photography, and I was a bit nervous. However, Fed never made me feel that way during the whole trip. A thorough gentleman and a good human being. He was more of a friend than a tour guide. He was very polite and always answered our questions. He knows the Dolomites inside out and took us to breathtaking spots at the right time of the day. The accommodations were homely and very cosy. He walked with us throughout the hikes and even went back and forth to help other fellow hikers despite of the ascent and descent. Very knowledgeable about photography and camera controls. I would definitely recommend Federico to all my friends, and he will be my guide for all my future photo trips to the Dolomites, Lofoten, Iceland and many more. Thanks Federico and wish…
