Hello there jsamarani and good evening to all readers of this wonderful forum.
I would like some advice if possible as I would like to move to Livorno or somewhere near there to teach English.

I am a native Londoner and my girlfriend (who is from Livorno) has been here with me for four years.

We have decided to move to Italy together and she has ideas for her own employment leaving me to research possibilities for myself. Teaching seems interesting and I feel that it will be a rewarding and interesting job.

My career in the UK has been as a professional photographer working on global advertising projects for various products / markets however initial research has revealed photography at this level is not required in or around Livorno as most large publishing / advertising agencies are in bigger cities more to the North of Italy.

As a professional photographer perhaps teaching photography is an option?

Any advice will be welcome and thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards

Mick

Many thanks for the welcome and topic update!
May I add that although I am a professional photographer I understand there may be little or no opportunities for the level of my work and I am happy to consider other work using my skills which are actually pretty diverse and not strictly limited to photography at an advertising level.

I am somewhat reluctant to post personal details on a public forum and would prefer to share this information by mail or PM - hope thats ok and excuse my security concerns if they seem overly cautious - you can never be too careful.

Many thanks

Mick

Ciao Mick,

I was interested to read your post and would love to hear how things have progressed for you. I am from the UK too and studied photography in Edinburgh and worked freelance there as an arts educator before moving to Italy. I am based in a small town near the sea and looking for other photographers to connect with.

Hope to hear from you!

Hello CaraMelMel,

Welcome to Expat.com 😀

That thread being old, you may not get any feedback here.

I suggest you start a new thread on the Tuscany forum to ask you questions and engage with more active members.

Cheers,

Cheryl
