Itinerary Photo Tour in Tuscany
The cities of art and the green hills overlooked by fortified medieval villages and typical local cuisine: Tuscany is all this and much, much more.
Every day we will make radial journeys out to photographs the countryside or the cities of art. Undoubtedly there are many interesting places but we will hardly see a tiny part of this land. However I have chosen the best for you as a local photographer. So our base for the trip will be between the wonderful rural area in the heart of Val D’Orcia and Florence. It is a fantastic place with spectacular views, picturesquely situated between the famous rolling Tuscan hills and cypress trees.

More Info about Me
Since 2013 Raffaele has been organizing photography workshops in Europe and Asia in small groups. Those small workshops offer a personal approach and relationship adapted to each individual. So, it allows a global experience, 24 hours a day, from early morning shooting to the end of the day review. Therefore, the workshop not only focus on the technical aspects of photography, but also on local uses, integrating cultural approach and behaviors. Through the photographer’s gaze, it aims to offer a new perspective of traveling. Raffaele Ferrari speaks and teach in various languages (Spanish, Italian, English).
Invest for skills and experience
I think the best reasons to attend a photography workshop is that you can learn how to make better photos. So i believe that investing in experiences is a much better investment than investing in gear. Also you have some benefit that you don’t find on line or for free. In fact, attending a workshop you can gain distilled wisdom about photography from the instructor.
