>> This is day 3 of a 7 day party delivering a sneak-peek at how getting your Italian Fix is the best thing you can do with your precious vacation time.<<

***************

Meeting Leela Cyd could change your life.

Because learning photography is a skill with big possibilities.

And learning photography with someone like Leela is an opportunity that rarely happens.

Her style is pitch perfect. Fresh. Magnetic. Optimistic.

Which is why she’s so damn busy on shoots for high level clients around the globe.

But you’ve got her. For a week. In Italy.

She’ll help you create magazine worthy images.

She’ll encourage you with her enthusiasm.

She’ll support you with her kindness.

She’ll guide you into doing more of your great work.

Because you don’t achieve big things alone. You have to constantly learn, push, expand and connect.

You need to hang out with people like you. You gotta surround yourself with people you admire; people who lift you up and help you be more. But being with people who help you reach the next level, whatever that is, is your choice.

But we’re giving you a choice that’s pretty easy to make. A week of time for yourself. In Florence. In Italy. With mega-watt fun. We think it’s a no brainer.

Because truthfully — we all have a desire to be better. Smarter. Faster. Slower. More inspired. More skilled. More connected.

The big question is: What can you create alone?

And what can we create together?

Answering that question is precisely WHY we’ve created YOUR special week of learning and opportunity.

And it’s gonna be epic. And it’s available to just twelve people.

Join us for the most creative week of your life.

  2. wow, i NEED to hang with this genius!

    what I am struggling with creatively right now…..getting TIME, correction MAKING TIME to be creative!…I just need to DO IT, it is what my soul NEEDS!

    1. Christy,

      You and me both sister — nothing like replenishing the well of creativity with other like minded souls! Especially when fueled by Italian pasta and wine 🙂

    2. Can I hear a hallelujah!?

      Thanks for sharing Christy. Making the time is key. The years just go by otherwise.

    1. Donna, thank you so much! We all have a lot to be inspired by and discuss in Italia . . . really, being in Italy is like being in a fabulous film 24/7, it’s the best place to learn photography!

    2. Ciao bella Donna,

      I know you have an eye for beautiful things. I’ve admired your style since I was 8 years old. Thanks for being here. Love you. Bianca

  3. Having survived breast cancer this past year ALL I want to do is Live fully and appreciate everything. Her photos express the poignant vulnerability of the Now.

    1. Nancy,

      so glad you are okay and living life to the fullest — your compliment on my work and its nowness has made my WEEK! grazie mille.

    2. Wow Nancy. The difficulty of this past year for you is something that most of us won’t know. But the message is clear: The world needs YOU. That’s why you are here.

      xx Thanks for sharing. Big hugs. Bianca

  4. Photography has been such a big part of my life, it’s how I met my husband (both studying…him commercial and me fine art) I have used it to capture the happiest and saddest times in my life.

    Taking time to explore my creativity is always tricky, two young children, multiple renovations, the blog, writing, and moving country could stop me but I refuse to let them.

    I think the biggest struggle is believing in myself and what I am capable of creating. I’m sure many have struggled with this and Leela would be a great source of encouragement and inspiration.
    ciao for now
    Lisa x

    1. Lisa, we have a lot to discuss and confidence in photography is key . . .It took me time to get there, but now it’s such a fun part of the job. I believe in each person reaching their photo goals and empowering themselves through creativity. Email me directly if you have any further questions. baci! Leela

    2. Hi Lisa,

      Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to stop on over here.

      You hit the nail on the head: believing in your capacity. It’s huge and most don’t even consider it. Just acknowledging you have a choice to expand your capacity to create and succeed in your biggest desires is a complete paradigm shift.

      Take care Lisa. You aren’t alone in your thoughts.

      A presto, Bianca

  5. Photography tells a story, and I think it is safe to say that we all want the story that our lives tell to be one that captures our most authentic moments, when we are the selves that laugh without hesitancy, smile without selfawareness, and dream without limits. If we all could have just one photograph that tells the story of how we loved, and why, this would create a buoying sense of completeness to our individual legacies. It sounds like this photographer has the eye and the talent to make this possible. What a wonderful gift that she will be on this trip!

  6. Looks just like sooo much fun!! Her pictures are fabulous, I love the way they are not centered and her quirky colors but I think the big thing is the fun!!

  7. I’ve allowed my creative self to get lost a bit lately, so this would be wonderful way to get that girl back!

  8. A week in Italy would make me smile more, ask questions, and loosen my belt a notch.

    In my creative life I’m struggling with how to find the time and space to let myself really really stretch.

    Leela could support me by moving to NYC and being my neighbor and taking walks with me and coffee breaks.

  9. Ms. Sara Kate,

    You make me smile — I do hope you come to Italy with us, why the hell not?! To be your neighbor would be a delight. Come back to the West Coast where we could eat oranges from the trees and take the little one to the beach.

    big hugs,

    Leela
