Our Tuscany photography workshop 2024 leaves from Rome with AM meeting at the airport. Departure is also from Rome with direct flights available internationally.

We will explore the beautiful Tuscan landscape around San Quirico and Pienza with the expert advice and guidance of one of Italy’s top landscape photographers Dino Marsango. 

Your entire stay will be in one hotel which makes logistics really easy. The majority of locations are within 20 minutes of your base so this is a really low maintenance trip in terms of travel. We will combine sunrise and sunset shoots through our journey ensuring you shoot the best locations in the best light. There will be breaks in between for downtime every day, daytime post-production sessions as well as a chance to enjoy the hotel facilities and spa. After our sunrise shoot, we will return to the hotel for breakfast. There will be a break for breakfast and some downtime. If the light is harsh during the day we will have post-production sessions. We will then head out again for an afternoon and sunset shoot. Dinner will be mostly served at our hotel.

There will be a webinar to help you edit your images post-workshop. You send your pictures to your instructor and a section will be edited live. The webinar will be recorded and sent back to you so you will have a route map to help you make the most of your images after the workshop. We will also offer discounted rates on our online photography courses plus we have a range of free courses you can access so you’re ready to go before you even arrive.

Accommodation is included in the price, as well as transportation costs (from accommodation to shoot locations) and 2 meals per day breakfast and dinner. Alcohol and snacks are not included.
