In the beautiful Val d’Orcia, in the heart of Tuscany, a Autumn Landscape Workshop that will allow you to experience photography
among the most beautiful hills in the world at a time of year full of exciting atmospheres and colors.
The cost of the 3-day Photography Workshop is €250 per person.
Accommodation and meals are excluded from the price.
Places are limited to 8 to allow the Photo Tour to be held with the highest quality.
The Val d’Orcia World Heritage cultural site, UNESCO World Heritage, is located in the agricultural hinterland of Siena, in Central Italy, and includes the historic centers and much of the territory of the municipalities of San Quirico d’Orcia, Castiglione d’Orcia, Montalcino, Pienza, Radicofani.
The Val d’Orcia is an outstanding example of the redesign of the landscape in the Renaissance, illustrating the ideals of good governance in the 14th and 15th centuries of the Italian city-state and the aesthetic quest that guided its conception.
At first light sometimes fog caresses the hills and fills the valley, giving rise to a fairy-tale landscape.
At sunset the light creates wonderful contrasts among the rolling hills.
You will have the opportunity to get to know and experience the beautiful San Quirico d’Orcia, the Borgo that” has the special characteristic of being at the center of landscapes known everywhere.”
The most beautiful locations for photo shoots I have chosen for you after more than 20 years of experience in the area.
In this Phototour I will cover topics to improve your technical skill in both image composition and natural light management through a training process ranging from using CPL, GND and ND filters in the shooting phase to post production of the Raw file.
The course has a duration of three days; we will meet early in the morning to take advantage of the first light of dawn and conclude in the evening with sunset.
The workshop is structured to give space for anyone, beginners and more experienced amateurs, to be able to improve their photographic level regardless of starting knowledge with multiple shooting sessions per day.
Topics covered will be:choosing the Location with inspection the day before, composition with the use of the rule of thirds, exposure, hyperfocal, Focus Stacking, light management also with the use of plate filters, Raw file management and post production tips aimed at Fine Art printing.
All locations chosen for the photo shoot can be reached by car and short walking distances.
