Tuscany is a fascinating location that every photographer should visit at least once in a lifetime. The photo tour I’m organizing in the area during the month of May is open for all those that are passionate about landscape and travel photography, regardless of camera gear and knowledge of photography.
We’ll photograph the spectacular landscape that the countryside of Tuscany offers, travel on backroads to see some romantic properties, visit the most iconic places and photograph them.
The tour will also include some quiet little towns where we’ll explore the urban environments and we’ll learn how to approach this type of photography. For this I choose some remote medieval towns so we can enjoy this type of photograph without worrying about tourists.
Sunrise and sunset will be the most important moments of the day and I’ll include some of the most well known spots in Tuscany. We’ll also photograph in towns like Pitigliano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Montepulciano, Pienza, Bagno Vignoni and Chianciano Terme. There will also be day tours on the back roads from Val D’Orcia area of Tuscany. During morning, on the way back to the hotel we’ll often stop at some beautiful Tuscan properties to photograph it in the best light possible.
The structure of every day will be as follows: sunrise session, on the way back to the hotel we’ll go on different roads to capture as many photos as possible in the morning light, return to the hotel for breakfast, leave for a day tour and finally sunset session.
During two of the days we’ll also have editing sessions before going for the sunset tour. Between breakfast and leaving for the afternoon/sunset tour there will also be at least one or two hours for rest. This break is really important if you want to make it to all sunrises and still have enough energy for the day tour.
Here are some photos with previous groups (participants from US, Germany, Austria, France, UK, Romania, Serbia and Australia)
