Taste the region not only with your lens, but with all your senses. An exquisite wine tasting session, a cheese tasting and local and traditional meals will let you try the best gastronomic highlights of Tuscany. Throughout the photo workshop in Tuscany you will have all the support and assistance of Alfredo and Solli, to develop not only your photographic skills but also bring with you tools in order how to plan, capture and process your images on your own.
Our ambition is to provide you with tools and increase your skills, understanding and knowledge in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
