What we say…
We are a team of expert, dedicated, fun loving, working professional photographers. We often work together and help each other on selected assignments.
In March 2015 we realized every city in the world has a service of photographic tuition tailored at visitors willing to improve their photographic skills in a foreign city and… well, Milan didn't offer this.
So in the year of Expo we decided to fill in the gap: we are born and live in Milan, we are qualified teachers, english speaking expert professionals and -after all- nice people to hang around with.

“Andrea is a passionate advocate for Milan, a great photographic eye, and a natural teacher (…)He took me to some hidden nooks and crannies around the canals, giving me some terrific ideas for shots - and for thinking about photography broadly. What a terrific experience!”
Randall, New York City (USA)

"Paulo was an excellent guide. I’ve done a few photo tours though he really took the photography to another level"
Nick (Australia)
-
"Paolo and Andrea are very knowledgeable photographers. Their technical and creative skills are outstanding. I consider my skills somewhat intermediate and I still learned so much from them. I can truly state that the tours with them were worth every penny and then some"
Rodney, Los Angeles (Usa)
-
"If you are looking for a superb photography tour, then MPT is your choice. They have specialty tours to choose from but you can also customize your tour. We prefer very small to private tours and MPT allowed us to have a private customized tour. It was PERFECT, especially if you have limited time in the city."
Martha, Dallas (Usa)

"In addition to seeing a side of Milan I never would have, I learnt new things about my camera, had to overcome some 'challenges' set by Andrea which forced me to think outside the box, and had a wonderful afternoon strolling around Navigli...capped off by some wonderful gelato!"
Prina, Nairobi (Kenya)
-
"Paolo was of great advice, gave me great tips about how to use better my camera, how to improve my technique and my composition... He was really friendly and flexible! I definitely learned a lot! And all this walking in the sun around this beautiful neighbourhood, and ending having a beer with his associate Andrea on the canal...! Great day, great tour with great people!"
