Tuscany Photography Workshop

Tuscany. Seems like there is no as harmonious, beautiful and photogenic place as Tuscany. The nature itself has created here the ideal conditions for civilization. The combination of fertile lands, mild climate, abundant sunshine was noted by the ancient Etruscans. These people appreciated beauty. The Romans themselves learned from them.

Let us dip into these landscapes of endless green hills. In the middle of them, there are colorful farm houses looking like interspersed precious gems. They are covered with tiles darkened over the centuries.

The perfect landscape could be found right here in Tuscany. Wonderful Italian cuisine and excellent wine will complement our journey.

Every day of our photo workshop we will get up early to be at the right place before sunrise. In the evening, over a glass of wine by the fireplace, we will discuss the pictures taken during the day.

We will be able to taste great Tuscan wines and local cuisine, visit natural springheads.

It will be interesting, informative and tasty, I promise! And, needless to say, there will be beautiful landscapes. Tuscany will give you the space to apply your photo skills.

Early in the morning we leave for Rome. As an option, we can stay longer in this beautiful city, take classic photos at dawn, when tourists have not yet flooded the streets.

Our mansion is located in the suburbs of the city of Pienza, which means that we will be able to get the most attractive shooting points in 30 minutes. By the way, the mansion itself is located in a beautiful picturesque place, offering wonderful views of the surrounding hills. From there, we can observe the morning fog.

Your photo-mastery does not really matter, but to get the best results, you'll need to have an SLR camera, a tripod, and a trigger cable. It would be much better if you had telephoto lens.
