PHOTO TOUR TUSCANY

Rolling hills, cypresses, picturesque villages, pizza and wine. We are, of course, talking about Tuscany, Italy. There are a lot of photogenic places in the world but Tuscany has something special. It has charm, romance and wherever you stand in this region it is photogenic. We travel to Val d'Orcia which we know from the postcards. By the way, did you know that Val d'Orcia has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2004? In the past, a lot of artists and filmmakers have been inspired here and we are also going to capture the landscape beautifully. Be enchanted by the golden sunlight during sunrise or sunset and pay close attention because you will regularly find a roe deer in the fields here so have your camera ready. 

In Italy, people like to take a siesta in the afternoon and that is because it is often very hot then. The doors of churches, museums and stores are closed and it is quiet around the streets. Should it be too hot to photograph then, we have selected the perfect accommodation for you. A typical Tuscan house among olive trees and vineyards with a swimming pool. This afternoon break also gives us the space to share various photography tips with each other and of course to relax. After a few hours, it's time to go out again and further explore the Tuscan landscape with our cameras. With a bit of luck, we will also be able to photograph the Milky Way!

WHAT DOES SUCH A WEEK IN TUSCANY LOOK LIKE

As you would expect, the main focus will be landscape photography! We go out every day with sunrise, sunset and if the sky permits there is also an opportunity to photograph the stars as soon as it is dark. In between all these moments there will be time to catch your rest, take a refreshing swim or share knowledge with each other, just like the Italians do! Lunch and dinner will alternate between a picnic in nature or a meal in a restaurant. This depends entirely on the schedule and weather on the day.

The Tuscany trip is open to any passionate photographer but only if you are ready for a spell because Tuscany is an idyllic place. We do not have a day to day schedule because we like to be guided by the most beautiful light. However, we do have a list of locations we will visit. Think of places like Poggio Covili, Pienza, Podere Belvedere, Villa Gladiatore and fields of poppies. The light is constantly changing so an unexpected stop is bound to be in between because we don't want to miss the best moment. Of course we all bring a dose of sociability and it will be an unforgettable, inspiring and above all enchanting complete trip where there is plenty of room to learn and discover. The guides will make sure that you lack nothing with regard to photography.
