Tuscany photo workshop

Learn and grow in a stunning landscape of green hills and cypress trees!

Tuscany is one of Italy’s most magical regions, where rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, medieval villages, and vineyards create truly breathtaking views. It’s a real paradise not only for nature and culture lovers, but also for anyone passionate about photography. This photo workshop isn’t just a trip through beautiful landscapes—it’s an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced photographer, our goal is to help everyone improve both technically and artistically while exploring Tuscany’s most iconic locations.

Tuscany’s breathtaking hills, endless vineyards, cypress trees, and charming medieval villages offer constant inspiration for photographers. This isn’t a place for big city lovers—it’s for those drawn to peaceful nature, the authentic feel of the Italian countryside, and the picturesque beauty of the land. Tuscany is truly one of Europe’s top spots for landscape photography. From gently rolling hills and stunning sunrises to rustic stone houses and mystical morning mist, everything’s in place to help you capture truly unique images.

During the workshop, we don’t just visit the most beautiful locations—we also dive deeper into the technical and artisticside of photography. With a mix of individual and group sessions, hands-on exercises, and personalized feedback, we’ll help you grow your skills and take your photography to the next level.

Our passengers told about us

The main focus of this tour is photography, and we shape the schedule so that everyone can head home with as many beautiful, high-quality shots as possible.

Workshop description

We’ll spend four nights in a charming hotel in the Val d’Orcia region, which we believe is the most picturesque area in all of Tuscany. This landscape offers an incredible variety of photo opportunities: classic green hills, winding roads lined with cypress trees, quaint farmhouses, villas, chapels, and untouched medieval towns—all perfect settings for photography. Spring is the ideal season to visit: the landscape turns vibrant green, the meadows burst with wildflowers, and the early morning mist adds a mystical touch to the scenery.

During the Tuscany photo workshop, we always shoot during the best light conditions—sunrise and sunset. In between, we explore nearby villages, giving you time for a relaxed stroll through typical Italian streets, sipping espresso at a cozy café, browsing local shops, or photographing the quiet beauty of everyday Italian life—narrow alleys, weathered buildings, and authentic scenes full of charm.

Throughout our time here, the main focus will be capturing the harmony between landscape and architecture. We’ll pay special attention to composition, light, and color, encouraging you to use them creatively and intentionally. The program below is just a general guide—we stay flexible and adapt to the weather and light conditions to make sure you get the best possible photo experience.

Day 1 – Arrival and First Sunset Photography Session

Arrival in Tuscany, check-in at the hotel, and introduction to the group. An early group dinner, followed by a sunset photography session at a nearby location, where the golden light and iconic cypress trees create the perfect composition.

Tuscany-Day02-Gladiator-House

Day 2 – Iconic Landscapes and Gladiator Filming Locations

At dawn, we set off for Podere Belvedere and the famous Gladiator House, capturing the most magical morning light over the Tuscan countryside. After breakfast, we explore the medieval streets of Monticchiello for street photography, followed by a visit to the Punto Panoramico Cipreses en Zigzag viewpoint. In the evening, we enjoy a group dinner at the hotel, then head out for a sunset photography session on the hillside of Agriturismo Terrapille, where the legendary wheat field scene from Gladiator was filmed. Later at night, upon request, we offer a photo review and analysis session, where we go through the images taken during the day.

Tuscany-Day03-Poggio-Covili

Day 3 – Pienza and Tuscan Panoramas

We begin the day with a sunrise shoot at Poggio Covili, where the cypress-lined roads cast perfect leading lines across the landscape. After breakfast, we explore Pienza, capturing its charming streets through street photography, and photographing the stunning Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio. An early dinner at the hotel, followed by a sunset session near Tuscany Grove, where the tree clusters embracing the rolling hills create a picturesque and timeless scene.

Day 4 – Montepulciano and the Legendary Baccoleno Hills

We start the day with a sunrise shoot at the Cappella della Madonna viewpoint, capturing the soft morning light over the Tuscan countryside. Afterwards, we explore the medieval towns of Montepulciano and Montefollonico, focusing on street photography and the unique atmosphere of these historic streets. For our final sunset session, we head to the iconic, cypress-lined winding road of Agriturismo Baccoleno, capturing one of Tuscany’s most legendary landscapes.

Tuscany-Day05-Agroturismo

Day 5 – Farewell to Tuscany

A relaxed morning breakfast, followed by a review of our best shots from the trip. Then, it’s time to head home, taking with us a week full of inspiration, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable photography moments!

This photo workshop is more than just a trip—it’s a space to learn, grow, and get personal guidance from pro photographers. Our goal is that you return home not only with unforgettable memories, but also with new knowledge and stunning images. To capture the best possible photos, sometimes a bit of sacrifice is needed. Weather changes or other unexpected factors may occasionally affect the planned schedule. But your safety always comes first. If something gets postponed or rescheduled, it’s only to ensure you get the best possible experience.

We reserve the right to make program changes if needed.

The main focus of this trip is photography. If something unexpected comes up and a scheduled activity can’t happen at the planned time, our guide will do their best to rearrange or adjust it. We want you to have an amazing time—but we also make the final calls, and it’s important that all participants respect these decisions.

To join the trip, good physical health is required. Serious cardiovascular issues or neurological/mental health disorders may be exclusion criteria. If you’re unsure about your condition, it’s essential to check with your doctor beforehand.

Would you like to take professional photos too?

Our guides will help you find the perfect angle, the best composition, and make the most out of the available light.

We work with every participant individually and stay flexible to adapt to the conditions around us.

If the weather or lighting isn’t quite right, we’ll come back to the same spot—because we want you to capture your subject in the best possible conditions.

One thing’s for sure: thanks to your camera’s memory (and your own), the memories of this trip will stay with you forever.

Tour guide

I hiked, climbed mountains, and then I wanted to bring home what I saw in the mountains, so photography came into my life as a hobby, and after ten years as a profession. I’ve shared my experiences and what I’ve seen with the public in several exhibitions and travelogues. Since I decided to get the FIAP (Fédération Internationale de I’Art Photographique), I have been awarded special prizes, distinctions and acceptances in international competitions. I want to show our travellers the exciting and varied world of landscape photography.

I started my photography journey with bird photography, achieving great results in both national and international competitions. Over time, my interest shifted towards landscape photography, and soon, I also delved into the fascinating world of drone photography. My work has been successfully recognized in prestigious competitions such as National Geographic, Nature Photographer of the Year, Magical Hungary, PCCS International Salon, Sony, vadon.ro, IBP Dreamscapes International Salon, MAFOSZ, FIAP, Pannonia Reflections, BPOTY, and WildLifePhoto. My photographs are featured in permanent exhibitions, and I have also published several self-published books showcasing my work.

Andrea Nagy

Tour guide

Photography is not just a hobby for me – it is a passion inspired by my love of nature. I am fascinated by the beauty of the landscape and the uniqueness of the built environment. Photographic tours allow us to get closer to the wonders of nature, to discover the beauty that surrounds us and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Besides landscape photography, interior and street photography have a special place in my life. In 2023, I tried to deepen my knowledge in this field by taking a course in Street Photography at MOME. My pictures try to capture the special atmosphere of each location, the magic of the moment and the diversity of the world.
