My session is called &#8220;how to take photos that don&#8217;t suck&#8221; and will focus on composition and practical tips to do just that. There is a session led by Instagrammers Italia&#8217;s local section on the best ways to use their platform, another on portrait photography (with a phone) using a light set, and one on taking decent photos of food. All sessions will be held in Italian but international attendees are most welcome &#8211; there are a lot of &#8220;us foreigners&#8221; in the friendly group that makes up the core Yelp community.<\/p>\n<p>After some practical application of the tips given in each workshop, we move on to an excellent free aperitivo offered by sponsors that Yelp has put together. To sign up, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.it\/events\/firenze-yelp-insta-evento-smartography\" target=\"_blank\">apply to attend on Yelp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also &#8211; there&#8217;s a food photography contest that runs until November 25 &#8211; you can win a dinner or a Photoshop course!
