The Complete Guide to Travel Photography

By Megan Spurrell

As travelers, our cameras can feel like a fifth limb—an essential tool with which to move through the world and absorb new experiences. They make it possible to document the people we meet. They provide tangible memories of the remarkable beauty we travel so far to see. Ultimately, they help us communicate what words cannot.

In the digital era, the tie between travel and photography feels more innate than ever. Photography has become more accessible and affordable to dabble in (who even needs a real camera with phones these days? ). On the flip side, it can feel as if documenting and sharing our travel experiences has become half of the seeing itself. In her essay on pushing herself to take a photo-free trip , Allie Jones asks a question we can all relate to: “If you visit a trendy upstate New York museum and don’t take any photos, were you ever really there?”

As the routine of snapping and sharing becomes as habitual as rinse and repeat, others urge us to become more thoughtful with our travel photography. Just because we can photograph and share everything, in a matter of seconds, doesn’t mean we need to. In his feature, Tyler Moss explores the #nogeotag movement , and looks at just how our photo sharing can drastically alter a destination—and decide who gets to experience it. For professional photographers Gray Malin and Alex Strohl , the “how” of nailing their iconic travel photographs has relied more on patience, and analog techniques like driving massive props cross-country, or waiting for the perfect shot in sub-zero temps, than on any new developments.

And, just in case you were starting to let your Instagram feed convince you that you’ve seen it all, we’ve pulled in photo studies from photographers whose work we can’t help but ogle. Jessica Sarkodie shares a refreshing look at the unspoiled beaches of her native Ghana. Cedric Angeles flew to Mongolia for a peek inside the lives of the country’s famous eagle hunters (and yes, there are photos of the eagles in their hunting caps ahead). For Sandy Noto , photographing harvest season in the Dolomites while off-duty yielded gorgeous slices of life.

Of course, if you’re ready to step up your own game, we’ve also got the gear you need—from underwater cameras to camera bags that don’t look like camera bags. And, we’ve rounded up our favorite photographers to follow right now, because as much as we want to cut the social media umbilical cord, there is so much to admire there. You just need to know where to look.

How to Take Travel Photos: A Complete Guide

You can also select your interests for free access to our premium training:

Travel photography is one of the most exciting types of photography you can pursue. Combining two of life’s great pleasures—exploring new lands and taking photographs—is a thrill any photographer would enjoy. 

While travel photography is open to anyone with the drive to get up and hit the road, there are a few things you need to learn. That’s why we’ve compiled this in-depth article containing everything you need to know about travel photography. We cover everything from camera settings to the best travel gear, so keep reading to find out more. 

What Is Travel Photography

Travel photography is simply taking pictures of different places around the world. But good travel photos are not mere holiday snaps. Travel images should show a location in a new light so they’re interesting even for people who have already been there.

Travel photography involves many different styles and techniques. You can incorporate landscapes and portraits into your travel photography. You can even use more advanced techniques like time-lapse and long exposures.

A travel photographer needs to show more than the obvious. They need to explore each location at a deeper level and look for elements that make that place unique and interesting. It isn’t enough to take pictures of the famous landmarks. A travel photographer needs to look deeper and go beyond. 

Far-flung exotic locations often hold the most romance for travelers, but you don’t have to go far to practice travel photography. Venturing to new locations is always exciting, but you can also photograph places you’re familiar with. Using your familiarity to your advantage, you can give viewers a deeper view of these locations.

Anyone can shoot travel photography. The first thing you need is a desire to explore the world, which is something you probably already have. But continue reading for everything else you need to know about travel photography, from techniques to gear.

Mastering Travel Photography

While travel photography is open to anyone with an adventurous spirit, mastering the art does require practice, knowledge, and skill.

Firstly, you need to understand your camera and its settings. You might be tempted to take the easy road and shoot in Auto mode. But you’ll get far better results and more interesting and unique images when shooting with semi or fully manual settings. 

You should also experiment with composition, and you can try both color and black-and-white photography. These are stylistic choices that’ll give your travel photography a personal touch. You also have to consider specific types of travel photography so you’re ready for anything when you’re on the move. 

The following sections cover mastering the art of travel photography. Click the links in the text for more information on each topic. 

Camera Settings

When it comes to camera settings for travel photography, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, make sure your camera is set to the right aperture and shutter speed for the type of photo you want to take. You’ll also need to adjust your white balance and ISO as you move through different locations.

To learn more about camera settings for travel photography, check out camera settings for travel photography .

A travel photography shot list helps you plan and capture the best photos on your trip. Research the location thoroughly, including famous sights, experiences, geography, and lighting conditions. Look at existing travel photos for inspiration, but aim to create something unique.

Use a spreadsheet to organize your shots by day and time, considering factors like sunrise, sunset, and harsh midday light. Include a mix of portraits, environmental portraits, cityscapes, daily life moments, religious sites, festivals, food, transportation, landscapes, close-ups, architecture, night scenes, and wildlife.

Remember to be adaptable and respectful of local customs. With careful planning and a detailed shot list, you’ll be well-prepared to capture stunning travel photos that transport viewers to your destination. To learn more about creating a travel photography shot list , check out this in-depth guide.

Composition

Good travel photography composition captures the beauty and essence of a destination. Use the rule of thirds by placing important parts of your photo on the intersecting points of the grid. Or take advantage of symmetry by centering the axis of symmetry in one direction.

Direct attention with leading lines, using elements like paths or fences to guide the viewer’s eye to your subject. Frame spectacular views with windows or arches to provide context. You can also use bold colors to lead the eyes or balance the composition.

Change your perspective by moving around, kneeling, or shooting from a rooftop. Get close to fill the frame with your subject or step back to include surrounding context. Play with scale by including familiar elements like people to convey the impressive size of large spaces.

To learn more about travel photography composition , check out this in-depth guide.

Black & White

Black-and-white travel photography can be a powerful way to capture the essence of a place. By removing color, you can focus on the light, shapes, and textures that make a scene unique.

Pay attention to contrast and tone in your black-and-white photos. Look for strong shadows and highlights that create depth and drama. Texture is also important in black-and-white photography, so seek out interesting surfaces like rough stone or smooth water.

Most importantly, use black-and-white photography to connect with your subject and tell a story. Whether it’s a portrait of a local person or a landscape that captures the mood of a place, aim to convey emotion in your images.

By developing your own style and vision, you can create compelling black-and-white travel photos that stand out. To learn more about black-and-white travel photography , check out this in-depth guide.

Unique Perspectives

Taking unique photos of famous places can be challenging, but with some creativity and planning, you can capture stunning images. Start by researching the location and scouting out potential spots for your shots. Arrive early to avoid crowds and take advantage of the soft, golden light.

Look for elevated views or unusual angles to create a different perspective. Use composition techniques like the rule of thirds to emphasize the landmark in an interesting way. Including people in your shots can add a sense of atmosphere and tell a story.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different techniques like light trails or time-lapse photography . If you encounter photography restrictions, think outside the box and find creative solutions. To learn more about capturing unique photos of famous places , check out this in-depth guide.

Documentary Photography

Documentary photography captures real-life events as they happen. It’s a form of visual storytelling that depicts the world around us. Documentary photographers often work on long-term projects to tell new stories through their images.

You don’t need to travel far to find good documentary photography ideas. Look for interesting subjects in your family or community. Focus on the people involved to help viewers connect with the story. You can also tackle big topics by photographing small, local stories related to them.

Visit and scout your locations before the shoot. Get comfortable with the basics of photography, like camera settings and composition. Keep your story personal and critique your work as you go.

If you want to learn more about documentary photography ideas , we have a detailed guide to help you get started.

Train Photography

Train photography offers a diverse range of subjects, from historic steam engines to modern bullet trains. To capture excellent locomotive photos, research train routes and schedules to find the best locations and times. Use natural light to your advantage, with side or backlighting to highlight steam and texture.

Longer focal lengths can compress the scene and show the train in its surroundings. At stations, photograph details like wheels and logos to create atmosphere. Adjust shutter speed for sharp images or creative motion blur, and slightly overexpose for more detail.

For more insights on capturing stunning train photography , check out our full-length article.

Backing Up Photos

It is important to back up photos while traveling, and an external hard drive is a great option. They are compact, durable, and have large storage capacities.

Smartphones and tablets can also be used to manage photos on the go. With the right accessories, they can connect to external storage devices. This allows you to back up and edit your photos without a laptop.

For the best results, use multiple backup methods. This could include an external hard drive, a USB thumb drive, and cloud storage. By having multiple copies of your photos, you reduce the risk of losing them. If you want to learn how to back up photos , check out our in-depth article.

Making Money from Travel Photography

Becoming a travel photographer takes hard work and dedication. You need to learn a wide range of photography skills for shooting everything from landscapes to portraits. Building a strong portfolio of your best travel images is key to attracting clients.

To get your name out there, create a travel website or blog to showcase your work. You can also sell your images on digital platforms like stock photography websites. Selling physical prints of your photos is another great option.

As you travel, look for photography work with local businesses, such as hostels or tourism boards. Capture great travel content and consider offering tours or workshops for extra income.

Travel Photography Jobs

Travel photography jobs can be an exciting and rewarding career path for those with a passion for photography and adventure. However, it’s important to understand the challenges that come with the job. You’ll need to have exceptional photography skills, business savvy, and the ability to handle tough physical conditions.

To succeed, you’ll need a strong online presence, including a professional website and active social media accounts. You’ll also need reliable gear that can withstand the demands of travel.

There are many ways to make money as a travel photographer, such as selling prints, licensing stock photos, writing for publications, and teaching. The key is diversifying your income streams and constantly looking for new opportunities. With hard work and creativity, finding paid travel photography jobs can be both fulfilling and profitable.

Get Paid to Travel

Getting paid to travel and take photos is a dream for many photographers. There are several ways to make this a reality. Selling prints of your travel photos through print-on-demand websites is one option. You can also upload your best images to stock photography agencies and earn passive income from sales.

Entering travel photography competitions is another way to earn money and gain prestige. Winning contests can help you promote your work and attract potential clients.

Building relationships with travel magazine editors can lead to regular paid assignments. Learn what they want and deliver high-quality photos to make their jobs easier. To further your success, get paid to travel and take photos by marketing your photography services to people who have the budget to hire you.

Sell Travel Photos

Selling your travel photos can be a great way to make money with your photography. To get started, ensure you have high-quality, well-lit, and properly composed images. They should also be free of technical errors like chromatic aberration and noise.

There are many ways to sell your travel photos. You can sell them through stock photography agencies, directly to clients, or as prints. Each option has its own requirements and markets, so consider your goals before deciding which path to take.

Actively promoting your work is key to maximizing sales. Use social media, email lists, and other marketing strategies to reach potential buyers. If you’re working with a stock agency, ask them what types of images are in demand so you can plan your shoots accordingly.

Learning how to sell travel photos takes time and effort, but with persistence and a willingness to adapt, you can turn your passion into a profitable venture.

Gear for Travel Photography

When packing for a travel photography trip, it’s important to bring the right gear. A lightweight and compact camera body is essential, along with one or two versatile lenses like a wide-angle and a medium telephoto lens.

Don’t forget a sturdy tripod that fits in your luggage for sharp shots in low light. Filters like a circular polarizer and strong ND filter are small but open up creative options when traveling.

Cleaning supplies, extra batteries, memory cards, and rain protection round out the must-haves. With the right travel photography gear , you’ll be ready to capture amazing images anywhere your adventures take you.

Traveling with Camera Gear

Traveling with camera gear can be challenging, but there are ways to make it easier and safer. Use padded cases to protect your equipment from bumps and knocks. A shoulder bag is a good option for keeping your camera close and secure while walking through busy areas.

Always carry your gear in your hand luggage when flying. Most airlines understand the importance of this and are lenient about the weight of your carry-on bag. To deter thieves, hide or remove any camera branding using black duct tape.

Insuring your gear is crucial in case of theft or damage. Take down all the serial numbers and make sure your equipment is fully covered. By following these tips for traveling with camera gear , you can have peace of mind and focus on capturing great photos during your travels.

External Hard Drives

An external hard drive is an essential accessory for travel photographers. Memory cards fill up fast when you’re traveling, and you don’t want to carry a bunch of them around with you. It’s best to take an external hard drive to keep all your photo files in one place.

You’ll need something durable yet compact, which is why we recommend the LaCie Rugged Mini for travelers. It’s an easy fit for any travel camera bag. You have storage options up to 5 TB, and it’s the most durable external hard drive on the market.

Editing Travel Photos

Editing your travel photos can take them to the next level. There are many techniques you can use to improve your images, from simple adjustments to more advanced processes.

Cropping is a quick way to remove unwanted elements or zoom in on important parts of the photo. Sharpening will make details pop, while noise reduction can clean up high ISO shots. Straightening the horizon line is also important for a polished look.

Other useful techniques include adding a vignette to draw the eye, adjusting saturation and contrast, balancing highlights and shadows, and using digital blending for challenging lighting. For an extra level of refinement, you can even remove unwanted objects.

With practice, you’ll learn which editing steps work best for your travel images. Check out our in-depth guide if you’d like to dive deeper into editing travel photos .

Photography Road Trip

Planning a road trip for photography involves choosing the right vehicle, deciding on accommodation, and mapping out your route.

When planning your route, prioritize the locations you want to photograph. Research potential spots using apps and websites like Pinterest, 500px, Flickr, and Google’s My Maps. Plot your route, campgrounds, points of interest, and photo locations to make the most of your trip.

Electricity is essential for photographers on the road. Ensure you have reliable power sources, such as a dual battery system, solar panels, or a 12v inverter. Always carry a power bank as a backup.

70 Most Beautiful Places in Italy - Ultimate Travel Photography Guide

Italy is a place of wonders. Having visited many places in Italy and being of Italian descent, Italy holds a special place in my heart. Italy is simply one of the most beautiful countries in the entire world, filled with culture and history, it is the perfect place for any type of traveler.

I'm a travel photographer and I am always on the look for amazing spots to capture for my portfolio. Italy is one of those places that offers so many different types of opportunities from impressive landscapes to unique cityscapes, coastal villages to medieval cities, Italy has something for every photographer.

I've compiled this very massive and comprehensive list of all the most beautiful locations I've found (so far!) in Italy. These places are perfect for your travel photography and Instagram adventures. Visiting all the places in this list would require at least a 2-3 months time worth of visit in Italy.

Here are the most beautiful places for photography in all of Italy (in no particular order) :

Burano is a place where you'll be able to capture some of the most eye-catching photography in all of Italy. It is a small island located next to Venice and is a perfect day trip. It is famous for the bright multicolored houses that sit next to the canal which make for some awesome pictures.

2. Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre is a cluster of five colorful seaside villages on the Italian riviera coastline. One of my favorite places in all of Italy. I remember staying in an old fisherman house in the middle of Monterosso al Mare . It was such an out of world experience as the villages are perfectly preserved.

Cinque Terre is a very photographed destination as many tourists flock here every year. However, you can't skip this place as there is a reason people flock here. Many photographers have taken some of their best shots here because of the photogenic look of Cinque Terre.

Cinque Terre is made up of five villages called: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare . You can take a train between the villages our simply hike which I recommend as you will have some beautiful views of the landscapes offered by Cinque Terre.

3. Portofino

Another beautiful seaside village is Portofino. It is located on the Riviera Levante and quite close to Milan . This place is home to some beautifully colored houses and some amazing streets perfect for street photographers. There are so many small boutiques and upscale shops as well as charming restaurants to keep you occupied in between your photography. This place is well worth a visit as an idyllic location in Italy.

4. San Marino

What can one say about San Marino? Just look at this picture. Any photographer would love to be able to photograph this triumph of medieval architecture.

San Marino is not actually in Italy technically as it is a micro-state and the third smallest country in all of Europe. However, just like the Vatican, San Marino is considered an Italian destination. It has all of the signature cobblestone streets and architecture of the best of what Italy has to offer. What makes it really stand out though is the beautiful castle that sits on the hill above San Marino.

If you're in Florence , do consider taking the day trip to San Marino as its well worth the visit and may be some of the best pictures you take in all of Italy.

5. San Quirico d'Orcia

Tuscany is one of the most popular and dreamy destinations in Italy. Some of the best views in Tuscany can be found in San Quirico d'Orcia. San Quirico is a walled village from 11th century Italy. It is a very charming village in the heart of Tuscany . The village itself offers magnificent shots of history but the valley that surrounds the walls is equally as picturesque. This is a must stop in the Tuscany region of Italy.

Verona is a beautiful city in Italy and known for its very romantic atmosphere. It is the home of the Shakespearean tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. One of the most beautiful aspects of Verona is the beautifully preserved Gothic architecture and the red bricks that make up many of the city's houses.

There are so many unique places in Verona to get amazing street photography shots. It is also home to great food and culture and is sure to keep you busy on your travel photography vacation. I would make sure to add this city on my list especially for street photographers.

Bagnone is a beautiful location in Italy and severely underrated. It a unique location of stone buildings cobbled up unto a hill in the Tuscan Appennines . What makes this place stand out is the Magra River that flow through the village as well as the castle and watch tower that stand a top the scenery giving this place a truly fairy tale like vibe. If you want a place all to yourself from away from the tourists of Italy, then this place is a photographers paradise for you.

8. Pragser Wildsee

Let life enchant you in this wild location called Pragser Wildsee. Very few people know that Italy is home to some of the most beautiful hiking locations in the world. Pragser Wildsee is in the Italian Dolomites and one of the most picturesque locations there.

Filled with pines trees, beautiful mountains and cute wooden boats, you can't not take a good picture here. This is one of those places that can land you your best shot ever so careful planning is necessary for you to get the picture of your dreams when you get here.

Okay so you probably already know about this place. One of the staples of Italy, Milan is known for its vibrant spirit with some of the best restaurants in the world, its world renown fashion influence, and the iconic attractions that bring in millions of visitors every year. For a first timer, Milan is a must visit in Italy. There are so many wonderful works of architecture here and as a street photographer (or any photographer) missing Milan would be a crime. Let the city charm you with its amazing picturesque locations.

10. Bellagio

No, I'm not talking about the Bellagio in Vegas. Bellagio is one of Italy's lesser know tourist destinations. It does get its fair share but much less than other popular places in Italy. As a photographer, there are many fantastic places in this fabulous village where you'll be able to snag some insta-worthy shots.

Bellagio is nestled on Lake Como in Italy and is one of the most beautiful villages on the lake shores. During the warm summer months, take it easy in Bellagio, spend the day enjoying the sun and take some fantastic shots when the sun is just right from many of the wonderful angles this place offers.

11. Villnöß

Look at that little village there. Yup, that's Villnöß, one of the most beautiful places in Italy. It's a small commune in a beautiful green valley surrounded by crazy peaks as the one pictured above. Spending one night here is a must for any photographers in Italy as there are so many cool locations around where you can get yourself some award winning photos. If you're up to it, you might even want to try climbing one of the peaks for some crazy shots.

12. Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona

Nope, that's not a Photoshop, that's the epic Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona, a church that sits against a mountain high in the sky. A truly unique place in Italy. It's pretty obvious from looking at the above picture that this is a must go place for photographers visiting Italy.

13. Latemar

The Latemar is one of the mountains that can be found in the Italian Dolomites . Now climbing the mountain will give you some impressive views and fond memories, but as a photographer, the best pictures will be the ones of the mountain itself.

There are many awesome spots where this peak can be photographed from (some of which are in this article) and you will definitely want to spend some time visiting some of them as they will offer unique views and perspectives of one of the most beautiful mountains in Italy. Try visiting the Lago di Carezza for a must see photo spot of the Latemar as well as Karersee which offers a unique reflection of the mountain.

14. Anghiari

Another beautiful and very unfrequented travel destination in Italy perfect for photographers is Anghiari. It is easily one of the most scenic walled towns in all of Tuscany . Lined with artisan shops, the narrow streets of Anghiari bring this historic place to life. Travel back in time through this location and capture some of the amazing details and architecture this place has to offer.

Make sure to grab the unique cityscape this city has such as in the picture above for some very Instagram friendly content. When you're done, get yourself a glass of wine and relax in one of the most awesome places in all of Italy.

15. Lake Sorapis

Another icon of the Italian Dolomites is the Lake Sorapis. One of the best areas to shoot pictures in Italy, this place will require a grueling 2 hour hike to get to the lake, but the reward will be this majestic clean lake surrounded by immense mountains. If you want some sunrise or sunset pictures, consider staying in the Rifugio up at the top of the trail overnight. This place can be very popular in the summer season so consider coming here during the off season in fall or spring.

16. Seiser Alm

The Seiser Alm is an area spanning around 56 km squared. It is the largest high-altitude alpine meadow in Europe. It is one of those places that feels like they might be the fabled garden of Eden. It has many small ponds and over 800 species of wildflowers and the meadow is riddled with small cabins like the one pictured above.

This place is just a paradise for photographers as the meadow is surrounded by an epic mountain in the distance that makes all the pictures you take here look surreal. If you want a really good picture, I recommend walking up or staying in the ADLER Lodge ALPE for the best view of the place.

17. Cortina d'Ampezzo

This is the the most popular ski resort in all of Italy. Also one of the most beautiful towns in all of Italy. The town has some beautiful architecture and is surrounded by some of the most unique mountains in the region. Staying here is sure to land you some wicked shots as the landscape is quite impressive.

18. St. Magdalena

As pictured above, St. Magdalena is a picturesque medieval church hidden high up in the mountains of Italy. It is literally next to Villnöß which makes it a worthwhile stop during your Italian adventure. This church is very popular on Instagram for a reason as it lies beautifully against the epic background of the Italian Dolomites . As a photographer, you won't be able to stop taking pictures of this magnificent place.

19. Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Tre Cime di Lavaredo is an amazing and impressive rock formation in the Italian Dolomites. It sits at an elevation of 2,999m. It is a very accessible area as you can get here with a car. Some of the best photos ever period have been shot here. The mountains are known for their three distinctive peaks. As a photographer here, you will be enchanted by the countless possibilities this place offers. If you want, try staying in one of the lodges close by to capture a sunrise or sunset picture.

20. Karersee

As discussed above in #13 , the Latemar is one of the most impressive mountains in the Dolomites . If you want to get the best picture possible, you have to make sure to hit Karersee. This lake gives an enchanting perspective of the Latemar with its surrounding pine trees and perfect crystal reflections of the mountain. This place is quite popular among tourists for a reason, but try heading here during a sunrise or sunset and you'll be among the few to be witness to one of the best spectacles on Earth.

21. Lake Misurina

An icon of the Italian Dolomites , Lake Misurina is unique and vivacious in its majestic beauty. This place is a very small tourist center located in the Dolomites at approximately 1750m in height. From the Lake there are many excursions one can take to the nearby peaks called Cadini di Misurina and Tre Cime di Lavaredo .

It's a great base for photographers in the region as the climate is perfect and the surroundings are just waiting to be photographed with plenty of possibilities for exploration. I would recommend staying here to catch the beautiful sunset and sunrise that is beautifully reflected on the Lake.

22. Varenna

I'm telling you, Varenna is an undiscovered paradise. It is one of the most underrated places on Lake Como . It is such a vibrant little village with great food and culture, but for a photographer, what distinguishes Varenna is it's beautiful assortment of red and yellow colored houses that sit on the shore of Lake Como . If you want to experience beauty with very little tourists, Varenna is the perfect spot to go.

23. Lake Garda

Lake Garda is a beautiful lake and the largest one in all of Italy. There are many beautiful little villages on the shores of the lake and everyone of them is worth a visit. As a photographer, you will have so many opportunities for amazing pictures here, especially long exposures of the villages sitting above the water.

I would recommend staying in Limone sul Garda or Sirmione as a home base, two of the most beautiful villages on Lake Garda. On top of that, you'll have many opportunities for outdoor activities on the lake to keep your vacation in Italy to a maximum of enjoyment.

24. Îlot de Loreto

This place is a perfect opportunity for a great picture. It is very similar to the island in Bled for those in the know. Loreto Island is located in Montisola on Lake Iseo . One of the important things to know before heading here is that this island is privately owned, meaning a tour of the island is highly improbable. That said, there are so many amazing spots around the lake that offer unique viewpoints of the island to get some amazing and unique shots.

The island is very unknown to most people meaning that you'll be one of the few photographers with some awesome shots of this place. If you're heading anywhere close to Montisola , I would highly recommend stopping by here for some great shots.

25. San Gimignano

This is an icon of beautiful Tuscany villages. It sits on a hilltop and is surrounded by 13th century walls making it an incredibly historical and unique destination in Italy. San Gimignano is also home to some very cool medieval "skyscrapers" which were originally built by the rich who displayed their wealth through the size of their towers. I highly recommend spending a day here to soak in the rich history this place has to offer and get some amazing shots in the process.

26. Isola Bella

Isola Bella is a wonderfully unique place in Italy. Located on the Lake Maggiore it offers a very picturesque island to explore. It has many types of Mediterranean plants as well as some incredibly luxurious medieval architecture. If you have a drone like the photographer above, then you can get some amazing shots of the island with the mountains in the background. Getting pictures of this place from land is harder but there's plenty of opportunities on the island itself or in the mountains close-by with a telephoto lens.

27. Santa Margherita Ligure

Santa Margherita Ligure is a classic vacation spot. It's a place with some real beauty and charm. As a photographer coming to this place will be a dream come true as the beautiful village is surely going to land you an unforgettable picture. It has many beautiful streets and amazing landscape views of the Ligurian coast . It's really close to Portofino and Milan as well which makes it a destination worth going off the beaten path for.

28. Camogli

Another beautiful spot which has less tourists than other popular places in Italy is Camogli. It is very close to Portofino and Cinque Terre which makes it a less popular destination. However, it is equally as beautiful with its amazingly colored buildings and nice nearby landscapes.

Unlike other similar destinations Camogli isn't filled with designer stores and yachts filling the bay. It is very reminiscent of what Italy used to be which is why it is a popular destination for locals. As a photographer you'll have plenty of opportunities for incredible pictures here.

29. Florence

Florence, Italy. One of the most popular destinations on the planet. You know about it already but for that one person who doesn't, let me explain. Florence is home to some of the best art in the world, best food in the world, and most amazing architecture in the world. It has iconic sights from the Renaissance era and a vibrancy like no other city.

As a photographer, you'll have unique opportunities in Florence for some great photography such as the one above. There is just so much great stuff in this city that Florence would require an article all of itself. For first-timers, Florence is a must go destination in Italy.

30. Montepulciano

Montepulciano is a hilltop town in the region of Tuscany . It is a place best know for wine with a wine bar at every corner. However, for photographers Montepulciano offers some of the best views of the Tuscan valleys in Italy as pictured above. It is an absolute must stop for wine lovers and photographers.

31. Bassano del Grappa

Bassano del Grappa holds a special place in my heart. My grandfather was born and raised in this small beautiful northern Italian village. He helped rebuild the bridge that is pictured here which dates back to 1209 but was destroyed during the second world war.

It is known as the home of Grappa, an Italian spirit popular among Italians (like myself). It is relatively very unknown and you will be among the few tourists in the village if you come here. However, do come as it offers exceptional beauty especially for street photographers. It is close to Venice and worth a detour.

32. Lake Orta

Lake Orta is a splendid 15 km long lake in the southern Alps of Italy. It is close to Lake Maggiore . It is a less visited lake of Italy but much worth the detour, especially for photographers. It is a very picturesque place in Italy surrounded by woods and mountains but the best part of the lake is the island in the middle which gives away some amazing views for photographers to capture.

Many Italians try to keep this place a secret as it has a tranquil beauty much different to the surrounding lakes that are bustling with tourists. I highly recommend spending at least a day on these majestic waters.

Venice is a dream. This is a place where most photographers will have a field day. I remember spending days walking around and exploring the beautiful city of Venice. There are so many little treasures all around the city. It is a placed that has been photographed so many times and is very popular but with reason, you will have no trouble finding your shot in this amazing city. I would probably rank this as one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. It is a must go for any first time travelers to Italy.

One of the less visited destinations in Italy is Padua. It is very close to Venice and a worthwhile destination for any travel photographer. Here you will find a myriad of fantastic spots for street photography. Padua is home to one of the largest squares in Italy filled with amazing food and culture. Once a favored city for artists, the renaissance imprint has remained one of Padua's signature attractions. Visiting Padua is a must for any photographer looking for unique pictures of Italy.

A city known for its culture, art, and fantastic food surrounded by medieval walls, Lucca is one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany . It is quite close to Pisa and a must visit for photographers in the region. The architecture makes one feel like they are traveling through time back in medieval Tuscany . For street photographers, Lucca is a treat as there are so many unique views and sights the city offers which will guarantee you some unique photographs of Italy.

36. Val d'Orcia

Val d'Orcia is a very famous region in the southern part of Tuscany. It is where many famous films have been shot, and for a reason, this is one of the most beautiful valleys in the entire world. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to some beautiful cultivated hills and eye-catching landscapes. When visiting the region of Tuscany , Val d'Orcia is a must stop for any travel photographer.

37. Fosdinovo

Offering a splendid view of the Val di Magra , Fosdinovo us one of the most beautiful villages in the Lunigiana region. It is located near both the ocean and the mountains and has some of the most unique cuisine in Italy. It is an often overlooked destination which means that you will be able to capture it's unique essence as a photographer traveling to this century old village. If you are an architecture fanatic, you should absolutely consider Fosdinovo as it has some of the most beautifully preserved buildings, churches, and castles in Italy.

38. Monteriggioni

If you're a flytographer, you have to visit this beautiful little gem in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is surrounded by a medieval wall and is situated between Volterra and Sienne . It is so small but a few hours here is more than worth it as the streets are absolutely picturesque and rather empty of tourists. It is a great place to stop for ice cream and pictures on your trip around Tuscany.

A small commune in Italy of only 9.5 square kilometres, Treiso is a must-go destination in the Piedmont region. It is another beautiful small Italian village that is often overlooked by travelers to Italy. It is home to some of the best wine and food in Italy and some of the best landscapes a photographer can find. If you want some unique pictures of Italy, take this small detour as it will be more than worth it!

40. Madonna di Campiglio

Madonna di Campiglio is one of Italy's top ski resorts. Set beneath the high peaks of the Brenta Dolomites , it is a much lesser known destination of Italy, filled with beauty, and eye-catching photo opportunities. Even if you don't ski, this place has so many things to do, especially in the off-season where trails open up to hikers.

On top of the breathtaking views, Campiglio offers visitors some delicious food and laid back bars which are sure to keep you busy in between photography sessions. If you are visiting the Italian Dolomites , make sure to stop in this pretty part of the world.

41. Positano

Positano is a gorgeous cliff-side village on the Amalfi coast . It is easily one of the most picturesque places in Italy with crystal clear waters, quaint streetscapes, surrounded by mountains, and colorful pastel houses; this place is like a photographers dream.

On the far end of the Italian peninsula sits Scilla, a beautiful fishing village filled with delightful sights and smells of Italian life. The village is located between the sea and the mountains making this place a truly picturesque location for any adventurous photographers. There are two sides to Scilla which are separated by a rocky promontory topped with a castle. If that doesn't sound like a must go spot than I don't know what does.

43. Sorrento

Another amazing spot on the Amalfi coast is Sorrento. Sorrento is a beautiful cliffside town in Italy perfectly wedged between sea and mountain landscapes. As a photographer, you will have plenty of amazing opportunities for some unique photographs in Sorrento. This is also such an underrated spot and a worthwhile visit for travelers to Italy.

Assisi is a place that has been frequented by pilgrims since the 13th century to venerate St. Francis who was born and buried here. Assisi finds its character in the terrain shaped by the hills of Umbria and the forests of Monte Subasio.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Italy and a true gem of medieval history. On top of that, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site (and with reason!). There are so many beautiful sights to see from outside the village walls and inside the rich paved roads of the elegant Italian village.

The village is crowned by a ruined castle which provides amazing vistas of the surrounding region. As a photographer, you owe it to yourself to visit this majestic gem of Italian culture.

45. Perugia

Perugia is an underrated Italian destination. It is a vibrant city home to the University of Perugia which is one of the oldest universities in Italy. This city has an amazing local cafe and bar scene which perfectly takes advantage of the cities ancient architecture.

If you are into going off the beaten track and finding amazing streetscapes filled with unique and vibrant culture than Perugia is for you. If you are a street photographer, you almost cannot pass up on this amazing chance at capturing Italian city life.

46. Pompeii

Everyone knows about Pompeii. It is known as a place of great tragedy and history in Italy. It is one of the most visited architectural sites in Italy and is a UNESCO World Heritage site .

As a photographer, there are so many opportunities for truly unique photographs as Pompeii's historic city has withstood the test of time. It is a literal living museum. If you are into history and street photography Pompeii is definitely worth the detour.

I bet you've never heard of this little piece of paradise before. It is one of the largest and most developed islands in the bay of Naples and home to many luxuries that make for amazing, relaxing vacations such as spas, quality restaurants, beaches, and pools.

It's a must stop destination for travel photographers with the very cool castle built on an island view it offers. It is often overlooked by other tourists because it is close to Capri , but make no mistake, this island is arguably much more beautiful than its neighbor and a lot less expensive too.

48. Campobasso

Campobasso is a village very rarely visited in Italy and quite under the radar. However, if you do visit this beautiful tiny village, you will find beautiful stretches of quaint streets, shops, and architecture that make this a worthwhile stop on your Italian adventure. It is also situated in the mountains which make the backdrops even more jaw-dropping.

49. City of Alberobello

Alberobello, the villages of trullis. In the region of Puglia is the only place where you will find these cute little houses that are a defining trait of the region.

Although very popular, Alberobello is the city with the largest concentration of trulli in Italy. On top of that, this place is a UNESCO World Heritage site which means that you can't go wrong as a photographer looking for some really cool pictures.

I recommend visiting in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid large crowds of tourists day tripping to the area.

50. Polignano a Mare

Home to the red bull diving competition, Polignano a Mare is a very popular and very beach in the village of Polignano. However, it is very much worth passing by as a photographer if you are in this part of Italy. Visiting this beautiful spot in the early morning sunrise will be perfect as you will have the beach to yourself. Additionally, the village is a cliff side town with some very unique and beautiful ivory colored architecture.

51. Spiaggia dell'Arco Magno

This is a great day trip for photographers as this little spot in Italy offers some amazing photo opportunities. It is located in San Nicola Arcella and there is also a beautiful little secluded beach nearby that will allow you to spend the day swimming in perfectly turquoise waters in between your award winning shots.

52. Praiano

There it is, Praiano in all its glory. Very rarely do photographers visit this beautiful little village on the seaside cliffs of the Amalfi coast . Yet, it is one of the most beautiful and photogenic spots in all of Italy.

There are tons of splendid beaches where you can enjoy unique views of the Amalfi coast sunset and amazing foreground and background elements to bring out the best in your shots.

On top of that, you have some amazing trails to get even better views of the coast which I fully encourage such as the Sentiero degli Dei trail which will surely satisfy your crave of beautiful nature.

Make sure to stay for the delicious catch of the day in the many small restaurants that are contained within the village.

Perched atop a hill, Ostuni is a perfect location for photographers visiting Italy. It has all the elements you need to capture some amazing scenes. With a medieval vibe and buildings built on top of one another, Ostuni is a confusing maze of beautifully intricate streets that will have you zigzagging and exploring this wonderful piece of Italian history.

From the top, you can catch some views of the Adriatic Sea just 8km away. It would almost be a sin not to visit this eye-catching place.

54. Locorotondo

This is Locorotondo hidden away in the waters of the Mediterranean on a seaside vista. Here you will find stunning white washed trulli close knit together among pretty and narrow winding lanes. It is one of the most beautiful places in Italy and a street photographers dream.

It is not a very touristy town, but simply a place to admire the beautiful architecture of a forgotten time. Definitely come here if you're looking for a place away from the crowds.

Matera is known as "The Stone City" or "The City of Caves" (just look at that picture, amazing!). It is the third oldest continually inhabited settlement in the world which means that it literally feels like a city out of biblical times.

There are so many incredible viewpoints in this city which are ripe for some amazing photography opportunities.

56. Spoleto

In the region of Umbria sits this hidden gem (I promise it's a hidden gem!). It has some unique architecture and history as well as tons of cool places where you can shoot without the presence of hundreds of other people doing the same thing.

Hit this spot for some awesome cuisine from truly local villagers. If you want the Italian experience than this is a great place to get lost.

57. Beach of Two Sisters

I don't know how more people don't know about this little beach in Italy. It should be iconic. It gets its name from the two white rocks that jump out of the water as seen above. It is accessible by boat or through a steep pathway. It is pristine and uncrowded which makes it a perfect spot to sit back and soak in the sun.

Get a ferry here at 9AM or 10AM and return at 12:30PM or 3PM. Otherwise, hike the Passo del Lupo trail located north of Sirolo.

Keep in mind that this beach is a bit rocky so make sure to bring your best pair of flip-flops.

I know right, I'm at #58 on the list and I still haven't mentioned Rome. Honestly, do I even know what I'm talking about at this point? Of course I do...

Rome is unquestionably the image of Italy. It has the Vatican, the Coliseum, amazing pizza, and so much more. If you haven't been here before I urge you to stop here. It might not make your most unique shots but trust me when I say that they might be the most engaging shots. Everybody loves pictures of Rome. Take a long exposure during sunrise of the Coliseum and BAM, you've got yourself an amazing looking shot of Rome without any people in it and thousands of your followers on Instagram asking you how you did it.

Whether you shoot landscapes, streetscapes, architecture, fashion, urban, whatever, Rome is for you.

59. Villa Rufolo

The above image is a view from the Villa Rufolo. It was built by a wealthy merchant family in the 13th century. It was once known as the largest and most expensive villa on the Amalfi coast . It is a place where royalty has visited frequently for exquisite banquets.

For a small fee, you can stroll through the house and take in the charming views of the Amalfi Coast as well as visit the beautiful gardens around the house. Definitely worth a detour when visiting the area for some cool shots.

60. Orvieto

Home to some of the most beautiful buildings in Italy, this is an uncrowded oasis built on a hill in the Umbria region.

There is a calm stillness to the town that will charm any newcomer with its cafes and restaurants. The surrounding area is beautiful as well and any photographer here will find something quaint and unique. After all, this is a picturesque medieval town built on a hill. It also has what some call one of the seven wonders of Italy, it's duomo is impeccably ornate and is unlike any other cathedral you will find in Italy.

61. Pitigliano

Carved on a tufa ridge, Pitigliano is located in the Upper Maremma of Tuscany . The town has an unmistakable skyline. It is a remnant of the Bronze Age. There is an old Jewish quarter under the city which can be visited as well which is super cool for history buffs and photographers. It also played an important role in helping jews escape from racial laws in Italy during the WWII.

Definitely a must stop for its beauty alone and a must stay for its rich storied past.

Vieste is another pretty seaside town in Italy. It sits on a white cliff facing the Adriatic sea . It is an absolutely picturesque place filled with pretty white-washed houses.

There are also two amazing beaches on each side of town which are perfect for a relaxing afternoon before the golden hour.

Make sure to also check out the Pizzomunno Rock which sticks out 25m high from the sea on Castello Beach . Perfect for some dramatic shots of the sunset or sunrise.

63. Cala Dogana

Cala Dogana is the most populated concentration of people on the island of Levanzo in the Egadi Islands of the Mediterranean Sea . This part of the island is the perfect destination for photographers. It has beautiful weather and great sunsets by the sea with lined white cubic houses. It also has some great spots to visit on the island such as the Neolithic cave paintings in the "Grotta del Genovese" as well as the Paleolithic graffitos.

Just a day trip from Palermo , Cefalù is a picturesque Italian town that offers some of Sicily 's finest beaches as well as some of its greatest architecture.

I actually watched Cinema Paradiso recently which is a great Italian movie set in old Sicily . Turns out this is where the movie was shot and with no surprise, it has some of the most beautifully preserved squares, streets, and churches of medieval Italy. It would be a great disservice not to visit this wonder of a town.

65. Syracuse

One of the travel icons of Italy, Syracuse has it all, culture, tradition, and picturesque sights.

Here's a write up from UNESCO themselves : " The site of Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica on the Mediterranean coast of south-eastern Sicily consists of two separate elements, the historic town of ancient Syracuse and the Necropolis of Pantalica. Together these two components form a unique cultural record that bears a remarkable testimony to Mediterranean cultures from the time of the ancient Greek. ". Couldn't of said it better myself.

The atmosphere in Syracuse is incredible as you walk through ancient Greece with a view of the pristine blue ocean by piazzas filled with delicious Italian cuisine. Your camera will not be able to take a bad picture here, trust me.

Placed at over 750 meters above sea level , Erice is a superb medieval village. The winding road that leads there offers very beautiful views. The medieval architectural ensemble is very well preserved, which explains the presence of many tourists. Despite everything, Erice remains a very quiet place. The village actually only has around 500 inhabitants. Very far from the rest of the population and taking advantage of the incomparable views, Erice with its cobbled streets and historic buildings is a visit not to be missed.

67. Scopello

Scopello is a tiny village on the Sicilian coastline. It is very well preserved and quite frequently visited by locals. It is known for the amazing landscape above but very little people actually bother to come here meaning that you will likely be one of the few to get shots of this amazing little place.

You will see the entirety of Scopello quite quickly so take time to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a beautiful Italian village.

68. Sardinia

This is the place to be in the summer in Italy. Sardinia is a beautiful island with gorgeous beaches, beautiful villages, and some fantastic clear waters perfect for surfers and swimmers.

There are tons of amazing spots for some great shots on the island including rugged coasts, some stunning lighthouses, Roman ruins, and tons of sea life. This place is a must for any travel photographer in Italy.

69. Maddalena Archipelago

This archipelago consists of 7 islands including: La Maddalena, Caprera, Budelli, Santa Maria, Spargi, Santo Stefano and Razzoli as well as 55 islets.

All these islands offer unique and amazing views of the Italian seas including turquoise lagoons, deserted seascapes, and amazing beaches. An amazing opportunity for any travel photographer.

There are also tons of activities here including scuba diving, hiking, boat tours, and more. Plus, for some reason, this place is still an undiscovered gem of Italy which makes it truly a special place to visit.

Bosa is a beautiful little town on the island of Sardinia . It is located in the province of Oristano . It is filled with beautiful colored buildings and is a very unpopular tourist destination making it an attractive idea for photographers looking for great shots of color vibrant Italian streets without an influx of tourists.

I hope you enjoyed this very long in depth article looking at some of the most beautiful photography spots in all of Italy. I spent a lot of time writing this article for you and would love your feedback in the comments below. Please share it with your friends looking to take a trip to Italy as there are so many undiscovered places in Italy just waiting to be photographed.

25 Spectacular Travel Photography Destinations (With Photos)

As someone who is passionate about travel and photography, there is literally nothing in this world that makes me happier than when I’m taking photos in an incredible place.

Contents (click to view)

When I’m out and about with my camera in a dream location, and everywhere I look there are photo opportunities galore, the light is perfect, my heart is racing with the thrill… well it really doesn’t get any better than that!

So when I’m researching my next trip, I’m always looking for incredible places to travel for photography.

Where has the most stunning architecture, the most unique culture, the most colourful characters?

Where has abundant wildlife or incredible landscapes? Where is safe enough to wander with a camera; where has the friendliest people who’ll let me take their portrait?

Now, having travelled to over 70 countries and photographed in many of the world’s most celebrated travel photography destinations, I thought I’d make a list of the very best ones. Click the links within each section to take you to some of the images I shot there.

Of course, there are still plenty more I haven’t had the chance to visit yet. So just in case I’d missed a few gems off my travel photography bucket list, I reached out to some fellow travel experts and asked them to report back on what they think is the top place to travel for photographers.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, and I’m sure there are loads of wonderfully photogenic places I’ve missed. But there are certainly some stunning travel photography destinations in here, and I hope that within this list, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for your next travel photography trip!

1/ The icy landscapes of Antarctica

There’s a reason why Antarctica is right at the top of most travel photographers’ bucket lists. With its gorgeous icy landscapes, mirror-calm bays, majestic glaciers, icebergs the size of houses, and clear wintry light, it’s landscape photography heaven. In fact it’s virtually impossible to take a bad photo here!

And that’s before you even consider the wildlife – with six species of seals and eight types of penguins , not to mention whales and seabirds, Antarctica has everything to offer the passionate wildlife photographer too.

It’s not easy to get there, and it isn’t cheap either, so a trip to Antarctica is probably a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list pick for most travel photographers. Only problem is: once you’ve been there, you just want to go back!

2/ Eye-catching street photography in Cuba

If street photography is more your thing, then look no further than Cuba. Neglected by the Castro regime and battered by the US embargo that prevented any modernisation, Cuba has been effectively locked in a time warp for decades. But while this has been terrible for the country and its people in many ways, there’s no denying that it has made Cuba a dream destination for travel photographers.

Wander the Cuban city streets in Havana and Trinidad and you’ll be spoilt for photography choice, with colourful historic buildings at every turn. Get lost down alleyways and side roads, delighting in the crumbling paintwork, the ornate wrought-iron decorations, and the brightly-painted shutters that cheerily hide the dilapidation within. Smile at the friendly Cuban people, who welcome visitors and don’t seem to mind having their photos taken.

And then of course there are the famous Cuban cars , which roll the streets like living antiques. If you’re anything like me you can easily while away many hours photographing them from every angle, even missing dinner! Which is no great loss, because the food in Cuba is pretty terrible – but it’s a small price to pay for all the stunning photos you’ll bring home.

3/ Myanmar: the world’s friendliest people

Myanmar was on my travel photography bucket list for the longest time. And when I finally went there, I was not disappointed. Everywhere you go there are endless delights, from the golden glinting Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, to the ancient temples at Bagan , to the impossibly photogenic leg-rowing fishermen of Inle Lake , to the bustling markets .

But the thing I loved best about travel photography in Myanmar was the people. Not only do they look fabulous, from the colourful street vendors to the red-robed Buddhist monks , but they were among the most friendly people I’ve ever met. Because Myanmar was closed to tourism for so long, its people are still just really happy to have visitors, and it shows in their generous and warm welcome. I don’t think a single person said no to me taking their photo!

Sadly the political situation in Myanmar has deteriorated since I was there and some areas are not safe to visit. So you may need to think carefully about if and when to go, but if you do get the chance, I don’t think you’ll regret it!

4/ The colours of Guatemala

There aren’t all that many countries left in the world where the culture and way of life still seems very little changed by the unstoppable rush of modernity – but Guatemala is one of them.

Guatemala is bursting with colourful towns , dramatic landscapes, and ancient cultural treasures . Lush rainforests, towering volcanoes exploding into the sky , and shimmering turquoise lakes provide stunning backdrops for your shots.

Step back in time with captivating Mayan ruins like Tikal, where towering temples pierce the jungle canopy. Capture the energy of vibrant markets overflowing with handcrafted textiles and fresh produce. Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site , offers charming cobblestone streets, pastel-painted colonial buildings, and majestic volcanoes as a backdrop.

Beyond the scenery, Guatemala’s heart lies in its people. Photograph the smiles of indigenous communities dressed in traditional clothing (though you’ll need to be respectful and ask permission first, as many local people don’t like having their picture taken).

While you may be worried about safety in Guatemala , as long as you take sensible precautions, you should be fine. I spent 3 months exploring this amazing country with my camera, and came back with some of the best photos of my life .

5/ Glaciers and Northern Lights in Iceland

For landscape photographers, there are few better places to travel than Iceland. Whether you go in summer or winter, or any time in between, there are endless opportunities for gorgeous photos of snow-capped mountains, thundering waterfalls , crashing waves, black sand beaches, calving glaciers and icy lagoons.

Drive the ring road along the south coast and a journey of two hours will end up taking four as you stop endlessly for photos. Don’t miss the chance to walk inside a glacier ice cave, hike on a glacier , photograph fearsome sneaker waves , or admire the adorable Icelandic horses .

And then of course there are the legendary Northern Lights . Take a Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik and if you’re lucky with the timing and the weather, you can turn your already epic Iceland photos into something you’ll be showing off for the rest of your life.

6/ The souks and medinas of Morocco

Like many of the countries on this list, Morocco doesn’t have just one thing to offer the enthusiastic travel photographer. You’ll have heard of the famous blue city of Chefchaouen , for example, which is certainly photogenic (if a little overrun with Instagrammers). Or the dramatic beauty of the Atlas mountains, or the rolling dunes and clear starry skies of the Sahara Desert .

But for travel photography , the part I loved best were the twisty alleyways and colourful stalls of the medinas in Fes and Marrakech. These atmospheric mazes of streets and shops are easy to get lost in, but that’s part of the joy: no matter where you wander you’ll stumble across fascinating people and things to point your camera at.

You’ll need to be sensitive, as many of the shoppers and traders don’t like having their photos taken, but if you’re subtle and respectful, you’ll come home with striking and unique images. Don’t miss the striking Chouara Tannery inside Fes medina for a fascinating look at a tradition going back 1000 years.

7/ Primates in Uganda

Uganda might not be a country that springs immediately to mind when you think of travel photography. It doesn’t have any of the instantly-recognisable, obviously-Instagrammable locations that might usually propel it onto lists like this one.

But the fact that Uganda is less Insta-famous makes it a perfect place to travel for photography. There are no crowds of influencers here, just dozens of wonderful things to see . Head to Kibale and Bwindi National Parks in the west of the country to spend time with chimpanzees and the legendary mountain gorillas , or visit Queen Elizabeth National Park for vibrant green landscapes and ancient volcanic crater lakes.

And everywhere you go as you travel round Uganda , you’ll find friendly and welcoming people who are not yet so fed up of tourists papping them that they resent it – instead if you ask nicely, most people will be happy to let you take their picture.

8/ The historic ruins of Turkey

Turkey has been described as ‘the world’s largest outdoor museum’, a title well-earned thanks to the country’s fantastic architectural and historic heritage.

Turkey sits on the border between Europe and Asia, and over the centuries has been invaded by everyone from the Greeks and Romans to the Persians and Mongols. All of whom left their mark on the country in different and fascinating ways – now a gift to you and me with our cameras.

There are dozens upon dozens of ancient ruins in Turkey , from the legendary city of Troy to the rock temples of Midas City and the extraordinary landscape of Hierapolis-Pamukkale – all of which are great places for photography.

Or you could head to the glorious city of Istanbul to photograph its stunning mosques and minarets as the sun goes down over the Bosphorus, and of course you cannot miss the world-famous ‘fairy chimneys’ of Cappadoccia.

So if you’re looking for a place to travel for photography that features ancient history and architecture, all set in dramatic landscapes under a glorious Mediterranean sun , Turkey is the destination for you!

9/ Italy for… well… everything!

Oh God, where do I start with Italy?! There’s so much choice for travel photographers, from the bewildering array of Roman ruins, to the sumptuous palaces and churches of cities like Florence and Verona, to the iconic canals and bridges of Venice, to the undulating landscapes of Tuscany, to the colourful painted towns of the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, you could spend a year exploring Italy with your camera and still not have seen enough!

Italy does have a reputation for being crowded – which is hardly surprising for country that is so accessible and has so much to offer – so if you want to avoid the crowds and take travel photos that are a bit less obvious, why not head to one of the slightly less touristy, but no less beautiful, parts of the country ?

One top pick would be Trento , in the north. A charming city nestled in the foothills of the Dolomites, Trento offers both colourful Italian city views and gorgeous mountain scenery. Or head to Naples for history and architecture but with an edgy side.

Or if pretty towns and villages are more your bag, avoid celebrity-famous Tuscany and go to Umbria instead, where places like Orvieto , Assisi and Todi offer plenty of opportunities to capture the real heart of Italy, away from the worst of the tourist madness.

10/ Colourful portraiture in Japan

Japan is one of the best countries for photography because it has it all: gorgeous landscapes from mountains to islands, traditional culture from temples to food, and a population that loves taking photos and are more than willing to pose for you anytime, anywhere.

It’s not difficult to find a great portrait to capture, whether you are interested in cosplay, robots, monks, and people dressed in kimono and yukata all over the country. The Japanese are more than happy to have you photograph them fishing, mending nets, hiking, doing sports like sumo or kendo, or even cooking in restaurants. This is pretty unusual when traveling around the world, so the one caution is not to get used to this openness if you travel to other countries.

Closed off to the world for many centuries, the Japanese have retained much of their traditional culture. From welcoming in the New Year to celebrating many festivals all year long with parades, fireworks, and music and dance, there are ample opportunities to capture a glimpse into Japan’s history.

The photo above was taken at  Kusatsu Onsen , a hot springs town, deep in the mountains where the water is so hot that women have been cooling it for centuries. If you are looking for a country to really allow your photographic skills to shine, book a trip to Japan!

11/ The pristine Lofoten Islands, Norway

Dramatic. Pristine. Breathtaking. These words only begin to describe the beauty of the Lofoten Islands in Norway . This remote archipelago of islands is off the western coast of Norway just within the Arctic Circle, and is widely lauded as one of the best places for photography in the world. It’s a photographer’s dream destination year-round, but especially in winter.

During the day, drive between the islands capturing the iconic cabins, snow-covered beaches, arctic surfers, and dramatic rock formations jutting out of the fjords. And at night, this is an ideal location to photograph the magic of the Aurora Borealis. 

Hamnøy is a must on any photographer’s Lofoten Islands itinerary. Bright red cabins line the waterfront with breathtaking mountains along the horizon. The bridge is a great vantage point, especially during golden hour and after dark for nighttime photography. 

Other great photography spots include the view from Mt. Ryten, Rambergstranda Beach, Reine, and the fishing village of Nusfjord. You could easily spend several days exploring the islands and capturing the unique beauty of this place. 

If the Lofoten Islands are a bit too remote for you, don’t worry! Norway is one of the most photogenic places in the world. For the Northern Lights, consider alternatives such as Tromsø or Bodø. Or, closer to Oslo, get a taste of the fjords in either Bergen or Flåm. Or for something completely different, why not try visiting the Ice Music Festival !

12/ Off the beaten track in Georgia

The Republic of Georgia is a dream destination for travel photographers of all stripes. From surreal mountain landscapes to picture-perfect street scenes, this tiny nation in the South Caucasus has it all.

Georgia has a dozen climatic zones and no shortage of  unique places to visit , from alpine villages to semi-desert landscapes, cave monasteries to verdant tea fields and the subtropical Black Sea coast.

The cities are an eclectic mix of medieval, Silk Road and Soviet styles. In Tbilisi, you’ll find everything from florid Art Nouveau mansions to Persian-style bathhouses and Brutalist commie buildings, all within a few city blocks. One of the best places for street photography is the local  bazari  – every town and city has its own vibrant marketplace where regional produce, spices and homemade cheese is sold.

One of Georgia’s greatest assets is its cultural and religious diversity, especially in the Greater Caucasus mountains. Svaneti, Racha, Khevsureti and remote Tusheti all offer awe-inspiring landscapes and traditional architecture, most famously the UNESCO-listed Svan tower houses around western Georgia’s Mestia and Ushguli.

Try to time your visit with one of Georgia’s cultural festivals. The Rtveli wine harvest in late autumn sees families around the country head out to their vineyards to pick and crush grapes. It’s an atmospheric, joyous time of year and a great chance to observe and photograph one of the nation’s most beloved traditions.

Georgia is renowned for its warm hospitality (tradition dictates that every guest is a gift from God), and you’ll find that most people are very curious towards tourists and eager to strike up a conversation once you pull out your camera. Be mindful when taking photos of people’s homes or when photographing rural and remote areas as some communities are more conservative.

13/ History and countryside in Provence, France

There are few other places in France, or indeed Europe, that offer the diversity of landscapes that you’ll find in Provence. You could spend weeks snapping the quintessential hilltop villages, grand chateaux, sprawling vineyards, rustic olive groves, and plane tree-lined boulevards.

And that’s just the countryside. Provence is also where you’ll find the Calanques National Park, with its dramatic fjords and idyllic beaches; the Verdon Gorge, touted as being the deepest canyon in Europe; Mt Sainte-Victoire, the subject of over 60 of local artist Cézanne’s paintings; and the Colorado Provençal, so named for its ochre-toned resemblance of the US state.

Seasonally, the region shows off further, with floral displays to rival those found anywhere else in the world. Most famously, the  lavender fields of Provence  transform the plains of Valensole, Sault, and the Luberon into a fragrant wonderland. Visit in late June – mid July to catch them at their best, and aim for golden hour to catch the most beautiful hues. Less famous, but equally as enchanting, is the poppy season which transforms empty fields around the region into a splendour of red during the month of May.

14/ The variety and diversity of Chile

From mountains, to deserts, sandy beaches, and everything in between, Chile is one of the most diverse countries for travel photography.

In the North, the San Pedro de Atacama desert (considered the driest desert in the world) provides stunning rocky desert terrain for landscape photography. Near the centre of the country, the capital city of Santiago sits right below the towering, snow-capped Andes Mountain range, making for a surreal view on a clear day. Santiago is considered one of the safest cities in South America and is rich with history and inspiring architecture.

Towards the Pacific, the bohemian, sea-side town of Valparaíso has attracted artists for decades to its colourful streets and gorgeous coastline. Here you can be sure to lose yourself among the city’s famed muralled walls and imaginative street art.

As you venture way to the county’s south, you will reach the famous Patagonia region. World-renowned for its rugged and rough terrain, unique wildlife (who could forget the guanacos!), and incredible glaciers, Patagonia is an unmissable destination for photography in Chile. The Torres Del Paine National Park is home to awe-inspiring mountain views and excellent hiking trails. Nature lovers can camp under the stars, or those that prefer a little more comfort can stay in one of Torres del Paine’s range of hotels .

15/ Stunning architecture in Uzbekistan

Around every corner and down every alley in Uzbekistan awaits stunning architecture in contrasting styles that will keep you on your toes and challenge your photography skills.

The capital, Tashkent, has numerous communist-style buildings with hard concrete edges. However, the best clicks are underground in Tashkent’s famous subway. Each station is an architectural masterpiece that you have to see to believe. Since 2018 it has been legal to take photos in the subway.

As you head into the heart of Uzbekistan, the communist architecture fades, and a world teeming with breathtaking Islamic architecture appears. Bukhara’s central square features massive madrasas with blue domes and intricate, colorful tile work. In Samarkand, the mausoleum complex of Shah-i-Zinda and the Registan is dazzlingly beautiful.

Budget time to wander the side streets and enjoy the simple residential architecture for a completely different travel photography experience. The light is always the harshest at mid-day, so it is best to get up with the sunrise, take a mid-day break and revisit places as the sun sets. The changing light from morning to dusk will bring an entirely new feel to each image.  

Make sure you pack a wide-angle, a 35mm or 50mm, and a tripod. Uzbekistan is not ultra-conservative, but you should dress modestly and respect dress codes for entering certain areas such as the mausoleum.

16/ The dramatic Canadian Rockies

In the Canadian Rockies you’re spoiled for travel photography choice; pick from the gorgeous mountain drama of Lake Louise, or drive a bit further north to Jasper National Park, the largest of them all.

Lake Louise is located in Banff National Park and is one of the prettiest – and most photographed – natural attractions in Canada . Head here for the iconic views and dramatic landscapes that give Canada its well-deserved reputation as one of the best places to travel for photographers.

Or, if you prefer something slightly more original, try Jasper National Park , which is home to a variety of wild animals, from small mammals like beavers, weasels and porcupines to larger animals like moose, caribou and bears. It’s actually surprisingly easy to capture them on a snowy day, or when road tripping on the Icefield Parkway.

Jasper is also a stargazer’s paradise. So if you are into astrophotography, add Jasper to your bucket list. 

Accessing hiking and skiing trails in the Canadian Rockies is safe, at all times of the year, just prepare well, make sure you adhere to road closures and weather warnings, and keep a sensible distance from any wildlife you may encounter.

17/ The Emerald Isle: Ireland

Whether you have a few days or a few weeks to spend in Ireland, you will still feel you don’t have enough time to capture everything you’d like to. From breathtaking vistas and incredible geological formations, the coast alone will keep you busy.

Visit the famous Cliffs of Moher and the Giant’s Causeway, but also make sure to stop off at to lesser-known places. You will be rewarded with colourful villages, dramatic cliffs, lighthouses, and old forts.

The inland rural areas shouldn’t be disregarded either. Ireland has the brightest green country you’ll ever find, and that green is scattered with castles and quiet pastures everywhere. Even the morning fog is a feature worth waking up early for.

If you prefer urban photography, head to Dublin. From the different Gothic styles of St Patrick’s Cathedral and Christ Church Cathedral to the colourful Temple Bar area, it’s a wonderful city to travel for photographers.

Add to that the collection of Georgian doors, 24 bridges, and many historical buildings, and you should have your hands full for a while. Around Dublin , more castles and old Irish estates are open for visitors. Take your camera and explore those sunken gardens, old structures, and unique details.

18/ China’s wild landscapes

With landscapes as diverse as the Gobi Desert, Himalayan Mountains, karst pillars, mighty rivers and lush jungle,  China  is a fantastic place to travel for photographers. 

This vast, and often untamed land, has endless possibilities when it comes to landscape photography. In addition to the obvious places like the Great Wall of China, the karst mountains on the Li River and the ancient Silk Road, China offers plenty of true “hidden gems”.  

If you really want to discover some of the magic of the Middle Kingdom, then head to Tibet. From yaks grazing beside emerald lakes beneath the highest peaks on earth to windswept plateaus where prayer flags flutter on the wind, Tibet is one of the best places in the world for photography.

Other places such as the Rainbow Mountains at Zhangye, Crescent Moon Lake and the Singing Sand Dunes at Dunhuang, beautiful Hangzhou and West Lake and the rainforests of Hainan Island all provide inspiration for photographers. 

No trip to China would be complete without discovering some of the country’s 5,000-year history and culture. To get the most of your photography trip to China consider staying at least three weeks and including Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu and Hangzhou on your itinerary.  

As with travelling anywhere, avoid photography of officials, police, soldiers and related buildings. The Chinese authorities can be overly sensitive sometimes, so if in doubt, always ask (officials are friendly and approachable).

19/ Namibia ‘s remote desert environments

If you’re a travel photographer who loves landscapes, you should definitely consider wild Namibia, in southern Africa. Its dramatic scenery has been forged over millennia by volcanic eruptions, desertification and erosion, resulting in stunning craters, mountains and vast canyons. 

However, most come for the Namib Desert, believed to be the oldest desert in the world.  There is a lot to see in the  Namib Desert , but the two best spots for desert photography are Sossusvlei and Sandwich Harbour.

Sossusvlei is an area of dried-up marshland deep in the heart of the Namib sand sea.  It is surrounded by huge curvy red dunes, and the floor is cracked white clay. In Deadvlei, the remains of blackened dead trees twist as if stuck in a macabre dance. In the early morning, you can catch the first rays lighting up the dunes and in the midday sun, the contrasting colours are vibrant and striking. 

Sandwich Harbour is where the desert meets the sea, towering golden dunes facing into the ferocious South Atlantic. You’ll need a 4×4 and knowledge of the tide to get there, as the route is along the narrow beach between the dunes and the sea – but the scenery is worth the nail-gripping ride!

And the good news is, the photography opportunities don’t end with the desert: the infamous Skeleton Coast of Namibia is dotted with shipwrecks, there are deserted diamond mining towns and there’s a huge amount of wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards and giraffes. There are also tribes that maintain their traditional way of living, including the fascinating Himba people.

20/ Architecture and nature in Vietnam

Vietnam is an incredible destination for travel photography – from cities to ancient temples and stunning natural beauty, this Southeast Asian country has something for everyone.

For wonderful cityscapes, head to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, where modern skyscrapers and colonial buildings are the perfect juxtaposition against the bustling markets and thousands of scooters zooming through the city streets.

If you’re looking for a smaller city with interesting street photography, the small city of Hoi An is worth a stop, with its famous yellow-walled Old Quarter, the nightly releasing of floating lanterns down its river, and the fascinating intersection of Chinese and French architecture.

Are you seeking more natural beauty? Consider Ha Long Bay, where dramatic limestone casts tower over the turquoise Gulf of Tonkin, or Sa Pa, a town to Vietnam’s northwest that’s comprised of impossibly green rice terraces as far as the eye can see.

If you’re looking for something slightly less touristy than Ha Long, check out Ninh Binh, which offers similar landscapes, with limestone monoliths topped with lush greenery – but this time, the mountains are land-bound and carved out with mysterious caves.

21/ The wonder of Iran

Often portrayed negatively by the media, Iran is a welcoming country rich with culture, history, and the most breathtaking mosques. It is also incredibly safe to travel to and to wander around with your camera.

Start your Iran photography trip in Shiraz, home to the mesmerizing Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque. Get there early in the morning, right when it opens, to secure the best photo spot (it can get very crowded and competitive!). Then, as you watch the sun rise, the colors of the mosque’s stained glass windows begin reflecting on the carpet, creating a rainbow light show.

Another incredible place for architectural photography in Iran is the city of Isfahan, home to the magnificent Naqsh-e Jahan Square. This square is filled with history, and is framed by two incredibly gorgeous mosques: Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and Shah Mosque. The intricate mosaic tiles inside these mosques are simply unbelievable, and you can easily spend hours photographing them from different angles. 

To get the best architecture shots in Iran, shoot at sunrise or very early in the morning for the best lighting and the least amount of tourists. Keep in mind that the architecture in Iran is also very majestic, so having adequate gear, such as some solid wide-angle lenses for the Sony a7III , would really help capture the scale of the mosques. Be sure to also bring some wide-aperture lenses as some of the mosques are pretty dimly lit.

22/ Ancient and modern life in Jordan

There are quite a few places in Jordan that are perfect for travel photography, irrespective of the type of photography you like.

Areas like the world-famous Petra and the Dana Biosphere are fantastic for landscape photography. Meanwhile Wadi Rum should be included in your  Jordan itinerary  as it’s one of those rare places where you can see the Milky Way clearly, making it unmissable for night photography in Jordan.

If you like murals, food photography, portraits and street photography, head to Amman. Most of the locals are accommodating and let you click pictures if you ask politely. While there aren’t specific street photography tours conducted in Amman, the Downtown area is where you’ll find more of the historical and cultural aspects of the capital.

good places for photography

You can take pictures at places like the Dead Sea; however, make sure you don’t let a single drop of water touch the camera as it is super salty!

The best time to visit Jordan is in spring and autumn when it isn’t too hot or too cold as it does tend to get quite cold in winter.

23/ The grandeur of the USA’s National Parks

The USA’s famous National Parks are full of opportunities to photograph wildlife, natural wonders, and beautiful landscapes. Two of the most popular – and with good reason – are Yellowstone and Yosemite, both of which are fantastic destinations for travel photography.

There are endless  things to do in Yellowstone , but if you’re a photographer, probably the only thing you’re going to want to do is take pictures! But you’ll need to get up early – the morning light makes for beautiful images and if wildlife photography is your thing, you’ll also find that the animals tend to be most active early in the day. Lamar Valley is a popular place to see wildlife.

For iconic landscape photography spots, head to Grand Prismatic Overlook, Old Faithful, Artist Point, and Mammoth Hot Springs. 

If you’re heading to Yosemite National Park, the best time to go is in the spring. The waterfalls have a large volume because of snowmelt and the dogwoods are in bloom.

Head to the Tunnel View lookout around sunset for one of Yosemite’s most celebrated views, or try Glacier Point, Three Brothers, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls for more good places for photography.

24/ India’s Royal Palaces

Home to colourful streets, beautiful monuments, and incredible natural scenery, India is a diverse country with plenty under its belt. Whether you like photographing architecture, wildlife, or portraits of Indians , there is something to interest any visiting photographer here.

If you are planning to travel to India for the first time, then make sure to spend some days exploring the princely state of Rajasthan. Steeped in royal history, this region of India boasts numerous palaces, forts, and temples. You can fly into the Instagram-famous  pink city of Jaipur  and travel to Jodhpur and Udaipur before making your way to the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer. The Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur is also a must for tiger safaris during the winter season.

Just keep in mind that some religious places like temples and cenotaphs may not allow photography. It is best to ask a caretaker if unsure or wait for the prayers to finish. Another thing to note is that tripods are generally not allowed in most touristy places in India.

Alternatively, for greener landscapes, check out Kerala in the south. The hill station of Munnar is widely famous for its acres of tea plantations and is one of the best places to photograph in India.

You can spend a couple of days there and then head back down to experience the houseboats sailing on the backwaters of Kerala. If possible, opt to stay in one for a night or two and click away as you catch panoramas of palm trees and water lilies while onboard. It is particularly magical at sunrise and sunset.

25/ The faraway beauty of Alaska

A  road trip to Alaska  should be a bucket list place to travel for photographers. The last frontier State is huge, and its wild beauty so unique and mind-blowing, that it offers plenty to see and discover.

Alaska is a real playground for travel photographers, with history, breathtaking icy landscapes, abundant wildlife, stunning hiking trails, and some of the most scenic roads in the United States, even in the world! If you are into wildlife photography , Alaska also offers plenty of opportunities, with whales, bears, and hundreds of species of birds.  

Head to Seward, where you can take a boat tour and photograph icebergs and wildlife such as seals and whales. Or try Denali National Park, a world-class setting for wildlife photography enthusiasts.

But the most spectacular treat that Alaska offers to any travel photographer is the opportunity to capture the Northern Lights . Fairbanks is one of the best places to see the Aurora Borealis in the world, because of its location and lack of light pollution. If you haven’t photographed the lights before, a Fairbanks northern lights tour is a great way to maximise your chances of seeing them, as the local guide will be able to plan the best time and location for epic Aurora images.

DELTA DEL PO, LE ACQUE - Safari in barca e workshop fotografico con Melchiorre Pizzitola

20/4/2024 - evento aperto, in effettuazione dal maggio 2021.

Il DELTA DEL PO è un'area naturalistica unica in Italia: accanto ai celebri fenicotteri rosa, ormai stanziali, in stagione è presente una grande varietà di avifauna migratoria: marangoni, avocette, cormorani, gruccioni... abbiamo l'imbarazzo della scelta. Abbiamo preparato per voi tour composto da un doppio safari fotografico in barca privata all'interno della Sacca di Scardovari, nel Parco veneto del Delta: accompagnati dall'esperta guida locale Niky ci muoveremo tra canali e barene alla ricerca della fauna più interessante... e ad assaporare il vero gusto del "Grande Fiume", che qui si mostra nella sua maestosità. Una prima uscita sarà il pomeriggio fino al tramonto e alla conseguente ora blu Rimarremo in barca fino a dopo il tramonto, che immortaleremo "on board": il sole che cala sulla laguna concluderà la nostra giornata fotografica. La Domenica esploreremo un'altra parte della sacca: usciremo col buio per iniziare. a scattare alle prime luce dell'alba alla ricerca di fauna "catturabile": innanzitutto i fenicotteri rosa, ormai stanziali nel Delta ma anche altra avifauna di migrazione. A condurre il gruppo sarà Melchiorre Pizzitola fotografo naturalista che ha fatto di macrofotografia e wildlife la sua cifra stilistica. Melchiorre ha un feeling tutto personale con la Natura, riesce a sentirne il respiro e a vedere situazioni che a noi comuni mortali sfuggono: i suoi scatti non solo sono tecnicamente perfetti, ma sono “pittorici”, “dipingono” la Natura con grande delicatezza e gusto estetico. Melchiorre vi spiegherà come muovervi per “vedere” le cose, il suo occhio fotografico sarà a vostra disposizione perchè questa diventi prima di tutto una vostra esperienza. I nostri partecipanti saranno già online con il fotografo e l’organizzazione mediante gruppo WhattsApp dedicato. Successivamente all’evento si terrà la consueta sessione di review scatti via Zoom con il fotografo accompagnatore, per esaminare insieme i vostri scatti e ricevere consigli e suggerimenti tecnici.

Il workshop è indicato per ogni livello di fotografo, da chi muove i primi passi a chi vuole affinare una tecnica che già padroneggia.

ANGKOR BEYOND, LA CAMBOGIA D'INVERNO - Viaggio fotografico con Alessandro Vannucci

7/2/2024 - evento aperto, in effettuazione dal febbraio 2020.

La CAMBOGIA, il piccolo gioiello del sudest asiatico: per anni nascosta dietro mete più battute è in realtà destinazione tra le più affascinanti per un viaggiatore e per un fotografo in particolare: gli antichi e magici templi di Angkor Wat meritano il viaggio da soli, ma anche la natura tumultuosa del lago Tonle Sap con i suoi villaggi su palafitte alte 10 metri, i monaci buddisti nei loro monasteri, i mercati ricchi di umanità interessante ed accogliente e su tutto la presenza della giungla con i suoi contrasti, i suoi colpi di luce, la sua atmosfera avvolgente... la Cambogia ha tutto per rendere un viaggio fotografico un'esperienza indimenticabile. Il Paese è da anni pacificato dopo un passato tragico, gode di un buon tasso di sviluppo, è tra i più sicuri dell’area e fortunatamente non è ancora toccato più di tanto dal turismo di massa. Nel Febbraio 2024 torneremo nel paese di Angkor Wat accompagnati e guidati come sempre dal nostro “resident photographer” Alessandro Vannucci, fotografo professionista italiano da oltre 12 anni residente in Cambogia dove svolge la sua attività professionale. Alessandro conosce "ogni pietra" e "ogni faccia" di questa terra e potrà condurci nei luoghi dove i normali turisti non vanno, oltre a darci i suoi preziosi consigli fotografici sia sul campo che nelle sessioni al tavolo. Sarà un viaggio di grande scoperta fotografica che è stato già compiuto diverse volte riscuotendo sempre un grande successo: alterneremo location iconiche a piccoli angoli nascosti, sempre privilegiando i tempi e il punto di vista della fotografia in un mix ormai consolidato e apprezzato. La celebre "cooking class" di gruppo e la crociera sul Mekong al tramonto saranno le ciliegine su una torta straordinaria. Il viaggio è indicato per ogni livello di fotografo, da chi muove i primi passi a chi vuole affinare una tecnica che già padroneggia. E' inoltre un'eccellente occasione per divertirsi in compagni di amici con la stessa passione. I nostri partecipanti saranno online con il fotografo e l’organizzazione mediante gruppo WhattsApp dedicato già prima dell'evento.

TOSCANA D'AUTUNNO, LE TERRE E LE GENTI - Workshop fotografico con Fausto Meini

13/10/2023 - evento aperto - in programmazione anche per il 2024.

La Toscana nord-occidentale tra Pisa e Livorno è una miniera di scorci fotografici: dalla costa di Castel Boccale e Calafuria, a Terrazza Mascagni a Livorno, da Torre del Lago con i suoi pontili lanciati nel nulla che avrebbero fatto la gioia di Michael Kenna al celeberrino il viale nel parco di San Rossore, dalla spiaggia selvaggia di Marina di Vecchiano ai “retoni” cioè i trabocchi detti alla toscana… c’è solo l’imbarazzo della scelta !! Ma “limitarsi” a fotografare gli splendidi paesaggi della Toscana occidentale è persino riduttivo: come da ns “mission” vogliamo portarvi “oltre l’ovvio”: una delle tante eccellenze toscane è la lavorazione del marmo di Carrara. I laboratori dei Measti intagliatori sono delle fucine di arte e creatività, e sono incredibilmente fotogenici. Noi vi accompagneremo a fotografare i Maestri al lavoro in una sessione fotografica dedicata solo a noi. Tra tagli di luce e polveri in sospensione scoprirete e fotograferete uno dei mestieri toscani più antichi e che tutto il mondo ci invidia.

DOLOMITI DI SETTEMBRE - Workshop fotografico di paesaggio con Fausto Meini

15/9/2023 - 3 giorni / 2 notti - in effettuazione dal settembre 2020.

Le DOLOMITI, le nostre montagne patrimonio UNESCO sono una location straordinaria in tutte le stagioni e offrono una quantità di scorci fotografici straordinari ovunque si vada. Allo stesso tempo scegliere un punto ed un orario di scatto piuttosto che un altro, saper gestire la luce che le nuvole possono offrire in un determinato momento può fare la differenza tra uno scatto magari buono ed uno di grande impatto. Sono pertanto anche un laboratorio grandioso per sperimentare la fotografia di paesaggio. Namaa Travel Photography in collaborazione con il fotografo paesaggista NPS (Nikon Professional Services) Fausto Meini vi propone un workshop di 3 intense giornate attorno a Cortina d’Ampezzo, nel cuore dei “Monti Pallidi”. Cinque Torri, Passo Giau, lago di Misurina, rifugio Nuvolau e naturalmente Tre Cime di Lavaredo saranno le nostre location iconiche. Ma assieme a Fausto scoprirete molti angoli nascosti, “posti senza nome” ma in grado di regalarvi scatti ed emozioni straordinari. Il tutto durante un workshop che si propone anche come “scuola sul campo”: applicherete le moderne tecniche di fotografia paesaggistica, dal focus stacking all’esposizione multipla, verificherete le vostre conoscenze confrontandole con quelle del vostro fotografo accompagnatore… e cercherete di “vedere” come vede un moderno fotografo paesaggista. Un intenso workshop paesaggistico nel cuore dei “Monti Pallidi” sul finire dell’estate, quando accanto a giornate ancora assolate e piacevoli fanno riscontro una luce più “gentile” ed un cielo spesso più interessante. 3 giorni e 2 notti per godere appieno di un panorama unico, scattare, imparare e divertirsi insieme. I nostri partecipanti saranno online con il fotografo e l’organizzazione mediante gruppo WhattsApp dedicato. Successivamente all’evento si terrà la consueta sessione di review scatti via Zoom con il fotografo accompagnatore, per esaminare insieme i vostri scatti e ricevere consigli e suggerimenti tecnici. Infine i partecipanti potranno iscriversi al gruppo Facebook privato “NamaaTP: oltre lo scatto”, dove potranno sempre postare i loro scatti e ricevere i consigli dei nostri fotografi professionisti. *** EVENTO APERTO, EFFETTUATO NELLE SEGUENTI OCCASIONI: Settembre 2020 Settembre 2022 Settembre 2023 ...

ISTANBUL, LA PORTA D'ORIENTE - Viaggio fotografico ** ULTIMO POSTO LIBERO **

29/10/2022 - 4 giorni / 3 notti.

Bisanzio, Costantinopoli,Istanbul… quante città possono vantare tre nomi nella loro storia? Quante città possono vantare di essere state la capitale di tre Imperi? Porta di accesso all’Europa per chi arriva dall’Asia, porta di accesso dall’Asia per chi arriva in Europa, crocevia di culture e di popolazioni… Istanbul è questo e molto altro. Percorreremo le vie di questa antica capitale in un tour fotografico, alla ricerca di scatti iconici ma anche di immagini nascoste, monumenti famosi e viuzze segrete. Visiteremo i mercati e fotograferemo la variegata umanità di Istanbul. Terremo particolare attenzione alle ore di tramonto ed alba, per regalare le immagini migliori. Ci muoveremo tra fotografia di paesaggio, reportage e architettura… dovremo saper essere flessibili nel cogliere in ogni istante situazioni diverse, spesso senza preavviso. Ci cimenteremo in lunghe esposizioni sul Bosforo e in rapidissimi scatti “rubati” di strada, all’unisono col respiro della città. Istanbul è una città che emoziona, il nostro compito sarà quello di trasmettere questa emozione con le nostre immagini.  Alloggeremo in un boutique hotel in centro storico, a Sultanahmed, “vicini a tutto”: un abbinamento di atmosfera e modernità. Mangeremo nei numerosi ristoranti di strada che affollano le vie della capitale, offrendo menu gustosi, leggeri e assolutamente convenienti. A condurre il piccolo gruppo (massimo 8 partecipanti) in sicurezza sarà il fotografo milanese Aldo Bianchi, profondo conoscitore della città che ha visitato e fotografato numerose volte. Aldo potrà condurci nei luoghi dove i normali turisti non vanno, oltre a darci i suoi preziosi consigli fotografici. Il viaggio è indicato per ogni livello di fotografo, da chi muove i primi passi a chi vuole affinare una tecnica che già padroneggia. E' inoltre un'eccellente occasione per divertirsi in compagni di amici con la stessa passione. I nostri partecipanti saranno online con il fotografo e l’organizzazione mediante gruppo WhattsApp dedicato. Successivamente all’evento si terrà la consueta sessione di review scatti via Zoom con il fotografo accompagnatore, per esaminare insieme i vostri scatti e ricevere consigli e suggerimenti tecnici.

PICCOLI FOTOGRAFI A VENEZIA - workshop fotografico under 16

25/9/2021 - 15.30 - 18.30.

Il sogno di ogni fotografo è che anche i nostri bambini e ragazzi abbraccino il nostro hobby. Iniziando come un gioco, ma inserendo i primi semplici concetti fotografici “da grandi” che poi porteranno sempre con loro ! Insegnare la tecnica fotografica, senza togliere la giocosità dell’esperienza, non è facile. Ma i nostri fotografi sono bravi in questo! Vi proponiamo un tour fotografico a metà tra una lezione sul campo e una divertente esperienza con altri bambini: ecco il nostro PICCOLI FOTOGRAFI A VENEZIA: 3 ore di passeggiata per calli e campi in assoluta sicurezza e nel completo rispetto delle normative anti-Covid con nostro tutor Davide Dalla Giustina, fotografo veneziano, per introdurre le basi al magico mondo della fotografia all'aria aperta. Da San Marco a Rialto, dal Canal Grande all’Accademia e al mercato… i vostri ragazzi potranno dare sfogo alla loro creatività fotografica, sotto l’attento occhio di un insegnante professionista. Effettueremo numerose soste per fotografare in aree aperte a pochi minuti di distanza tra loro, controlleremo e correggeremo in diretta gli scatti effettuati per poter dare ai piccoli modo di correggersi e apprendere. Non si affronteranno i settaggi della macchina tempo/diaframma/ISO (saranno tutte in automatico), l'argomento risulterebbe noioso per i piccoli, si andrà a "lavorare" sulla composizione fotografica e sull'inquadratura, raccontando con simpatici aneddoti e divertenti esempi un modo diverso di guardare il mondo che ci circonda, con un percorso didattico basato sul 'Gioco del Guardare'. Per ragioni di omogeneità di insegnamento limitiamo la partecipazione a bambini tra gli 11/12 e i 15/16 anni di età. Altre fasce di età saranno comunque benvenute, l'insegnamento si concentrerà sulle fasce di età indicate. ATTENZIONE: importanti avvertenze di sicurezza e organizzative alla voce IMPORTANTE ...

Con mezzi privati ed in totale sicurezza percorreremo l’intera costa sud dell’Islanda, dall’estremo ovest di Snæfellsnes e Kirkjufell all’estremo est del Vestrahorn, in un viaggio incentrato sulla fotografia e sui suoi ritmi. Sarà anche un’occasione per imparare nuove tecniche, inquadrature, giocare con la luce e con i contrasti. La stagione segna l'inizio della comparsa dell'autora boreale e la fine della migrazione dei puffin sula terraferma: due situazioni meravigliose che cercheremo di immortalare. Tutor del gruppo sarà il fotografo NPS e AFIAP Fausto Meini. Fausto seguirà e assisterà costantemente il gruppo, lasciando ai partecipanti solo il “compito” di godere di immagini che lasceranno stregati per sempre. Successivamente (10-15 gg circa) al workshop si terrà una sessione online di review scatti su piattaforma Zoom: i vostri fotografi accompagnatori visioneranno una selezione dei vostri scatti e vi daranno i loro consigli. Inoltre tutti i partecipanti potranno iscriversi al gruppo Facebook "NamaaTP: oltre lo scatto", dove potranno postare le loro foto e ricevere consigli da tutti i tutor del tema di Namaa Travel Photography... la fotografia non si ferma rientrando a casa!

GRAN PARADISO tra stambecchi e marmotte - Workshop fotografico ** ULTIMI TRE POSTI LIBERI **

28/5/2021 - 3 giorni / 2 notti.

Il parco del Gran Paradiso è il più antico Parco Nazionale italiano: esteso per oltre 70.000 ettari, è situato per metà in Valle d’Aosta, per l’altra in Piemonte. Accoglie, attorno alla vetta del Gran Paradiso, unico “4.000” interamente in territorio italiano, cinque vallate concentriche in cui si trovano tipici ambienti alpini, con ghiacciai, rocce, boschi di larici ed abeti. La fauna ha il suo emblema nello stambecco, simbolo del Parco e ormai diffuso in moltissimi esemplari. Altrettanto diffusa è la marmotta, vera seconda mascotte del parco. E’ anche possibile incontrare camosci, lepri, volpi, tassi, ermellini, donnole, martore, faine. È frequente imbattersi in rapaci come l’aquila, il gipeto (tornato recentemente), la poiana, il gufo reale, e uccelli quali pernice bianca, picchio verde, picchio rosso maggiore, merlo acquaiolo, picchio muraiolo e molti altri ancora. Dopo il successo del 2020 torneremo nel Parco (lato PIEMONTE) per un weekend fotografico a caccia di stambecchi e di tutta la fauna stanziale del Parco, in uno scenario di rara bellezza montana e pace con la natura. A guidare il gruppo saranno ancora Giulia Cimarosti e Salvatore Fontana, fotografi liguri di casa sul Gran Paradiso, che vi assisteranno ed aiuteranno nell’esecuzione dei vostri scatti. Un vero gioiello saranno poi le nottate sul Colle del Nivolet, famoso per il suo scarso inquinamento luminoso e che ben di presta alla fotografia notturna. Salvatore è fotografo esperto di astrofotografia e coinvolgerà i partecipanti in questa esperienza. DIREZIONE TECNICA: Salamanca Viaggi Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 103. 35123 Padova - [email protected] COVID-19 Tutti i nostri viaggi si effettueranno in ottemperanza alle Normative Sanitarie in vigore.

ROMA - daily workshop di street photography con Giulio d'Ercole ** ULTIMI DUE POSTI LIBERI **

16/5/2021 - h 10-18 ca..

Roma è un laboratorio infinito di fotografia di strada: i romani che sfrecciano sui loro scooter e macchine, i (pochi ma proprio per questo più interessanti) turisti che vagano in giro e si dedicano alle attività più fantasiose, negozianti e ristoratori all’incessante ricerca della clientela, businessmen frettolosi e rappresentanti del Clero si mescolano... tutto inserito in scenari eterni e maestosi. La street photography è una sfida, è una scommessa, una sorpresa ... mette in gioco le abilità, l’occhio e la prontezza… e il fotografo sarà lì con voi per assistervi ed aiutarvi !Scatteremo agli artisti che si esibiscono, mentre i turisti ridono con loro, entreremo nelle piccole botteghe artigiane, ruberemo istanti ai commercianti e ai ristoratori nella loro eterna lotta con i clienti riluttanti. “Useremo” i (pochi) turisti e le loro a volte improbabili situazioni per costruire un racconto anche ironico ma sempre maestoso per gli scenari in cui si colloca. Tutto questo assieme a Giulio d’Ercole, fotografo e fotoreporter romano dalla trentennale esperienza nella Capitale e in numerose località "difficili" del mondo e vincitore di numerosi premi internazionali. Giulio sarà accanto a voi sul campo e nelle review scatti, per farvi tornare a casa con un porftolio-wow di cui andrete fieri a lungo. Considerato il particolare momento che stiamo vivendo abbiamo limitato la partecipazione a massimo 6 persone, senza riflettere questa limitazione sui costi per i partecipanti. ...

I COLLI BOLOGNESI E I CALANCHI: le Badlands attorno a Bologna

15/5/2021 - 2 giorni / 1 notte.

Per scattare foto di paesaggi non serve necessariamente andare lontano! I colli bolognesi offrono straordinarie scenografie in ogni stagione. In questo workshop primaverile ci concentreremo sulla fotografia di tramonto, notturna ed alba. Soggetto principale saranno i “Calanchi”, la formazione rocciosa di terreno asciutto costantemente erosa dal vento e dall'acqua tipica dei dintorni della città di Bologna. Sfruttando la luce dorata e morbida del tramonto cercheremo di immortalarne la loro bellezza e le forme particolari. Le formazioni rocciose di Calanchi ci permettono di creare infiniti contrasti di luce e ombra che danno origine ad aree completamente in luce e altre completamente in ombra. La notte (coprifuoco permettendo) sarà dedicata - dopo un minimo sindacale di riposo - alla fotografia della Via Lattea: i colli bolognesi sono incredibilmente bui e perfetti per questo tipo di fotografia. Inoltre alloggeremo in un piccolo b&b nel profondo dei colli, in un sito lontano da tutto ed "oscuro" come pochi... Subito a seguire arriverà la fotografia dell'alba (NON soggetta a coprifuoco: alba Bologna 16 Maggio ore 05.46: tutti fuori dalle 5 a scattare!!) , nella sua ora blu e successiva ora d'oro. Nelle ora di maggior luce ci dedicheremo alla fotografia di casolari e borghi tipici, giocando con le ombre ed i riflessi del sole sulla pietra antica di case e campanili. Ad accompagnare il piccolo gruppo in sicurezza sarà Francesco Fanti, fotografo paesaggista bolognese esperto queste aree e sicura guida ed insegnante di fotografia. Francesco sarà sempre accanto a voi anche per darvi tutto il supporto della sua esperienza internazionale per aiutarvi ed assistervi nel cogliere il “momento decisivo” dello scatto. Non mancheranno i momenti tecnici di confronto sulla fotografia paesaggistica: dapprima incentrato sugli insegnamenti fondamentali per intraprendere questo tipo di scatti, successivamente per esaminare e correggere i lavori dei partecipanti I nostri partecipanti saranno online con il fotografo e l’organizzazione mediante gruppo WhattsApp dedicato e successivamente all’evento avranno accesso al gruppo Facebook privato “NamaaTP: oltre lo scatto”, dove potranno postare i loro scatti e ricevere i consigli dei nostri fotografi professionisti. Possiamo rimanere in sicurezza e fotografare e passare del bel tempo insieme…. Facciamolo !! ...

DELTA DEL PO: migrazioni e fenicotteri - Safari fotografico

9/5/2021 - evento concluso, tenuto dal 4/6/2019 al 9/5/2021.

Il DELTA DEL PO è un'area naturalistica unica in Italia: accanto ai celebri fenicotteri rosa, ormai stanziali, in primavera è presente una grande varietà di avifauna migratoria: marangoni, avocette, cormorani, gruccioni... abbiamo l'imbarazzo della scelta. A questi si aggiungono i bellissimi cavalli bianchi del Delta, varietà presente solo qui in Italia, assai scenografici e facili da fotografare. Non mancherà la possibilità di immortalare daini e... tori (ma questo ve lo sveleremo sul posto) !! Abbiamo preparato per voi un safari fotografico di una giornata in jeep all'interno del parco del Delta Po: accompagnati dalla guida e fotografo Antonio Romagnoli ci muoveremo nelle AREE RISERVATE NON APERTE AL TRAFFICO alla ricerca della fauna più interessante. L'itinerario è per fotografi ma anche gli amici del birdwatching sono i benvenuti.

PONENTE LIGURE, i borghi di pietra - Workshop fotografico

16/10/2020 - 3 giorni / 2 notti.

Esiste una Liguria nascosta e lontana dagli stereotipi più comuni, una Liguria dove la nuda pietra delle costruzioni dei paesini e i colori pastello della vegetazione autunnale fanno da sfondo ad atmosfere e scene che sembrano figlie di epoche passate. Namaa Travel Photography vi propone un workshop fotografico tra costa ed entroterra della Riviera di Ponente ligure, alla scoperta dei cosiddetti “Borghi di Pietra”, gli antichi paesini oggi quasi abbandonati che fanno rivivere le atmosfere medievali nel contrasto tra mare e Alpi, valorizzati dai colori e dalle calde luci d’autunno. Andremo in caccia di scorci segreti ed istanti senza tempo nelle piazze dei paesi, tra i carruggi che profumano di medioevo, negli oliveti arrampicati sui pendii, nell’eterno contrasto tra Alpi e Mar Ligure. Ad accompagnare il gruppo sarà ancora Giulia Cimarosti, fotografa di viaggio ligure sempre attenta alla scoperta e alla valorizzazione del territorio, anche in chiave fotografica.

MILANO a ritroso nel tempo: dal “bosco verticale” alla basilica di S.Simpliciano

11/10/2020 - h 9-13.

Cominciamo il nostro viaggio liberandoci dai pregiudizi, dai luoghi comuni, dalle frasi fatte e lasciamoci andare come bambini alla scoperta del mondo… Sarà facile allora emozionarsi e stupirsi nella radura di piazza Gae Aulenti, contemplando dal basso la magia del Bosco Verticale. Com’è cambiata la zona dai tempi della vecchia stazione di Porta Nuova e dal parco divertimenti delle Varesine! Se ci lasciamo alle spalle questo magnifico futuro e camminiamo a ritroso nel tempo, andando cioè verso il cuore di Milano, del suo nucleo più vecchio, faremo altre scoperte: giù giù dalla modaiola corso Como, oltre piazza XXV Aprile, si snoda la vita di corso Garibaldi. Già subito qui incontriamo la quattrocentesca chiesa dell’Incoronata, dalla caratteristica doppia facciata, per poi continuare dopo Moscova, incontrando altre due venerande Basiliche: la paleocristiana san Simpliciano, fondata quando Milano era capitale dell’impero romano; la più recente santa Maria del Carmine, con il suo bellissimo sagrato. Tutte e tre, trionfo del rosso mattone lombardo, di antica tradizione. Questa è una zona che non ha totalmente perduto l’antica fisionomia. A ben guardare, dietro le facciate dei lussuosi palazzi, si aprono ancora inaspettate, graziose stradine dal fascino ottocentesco: via san Carpoforo, via Fiori chiari, via Formentini, via Madonnina… Se quell’acciottolato potesse parlare, quante storie racconterebbe (e non tutte rispettabili…). Siamo così arrivati nel quartiere di Brera, con i suoi localini, la severa Pinacoteca, il suo celebre cortile, il suo orto botanico, questo forse meno conosciuto… Del resto, molti “interni”, molti cortili di Milano sono stupendi e sconosciuti. Perché Milano è una bella donna ritrosa, che si fa scoprire a poco a poco e solo da chi ha imparato bene che “l’essenziale è invisibile agli occhi”. ...

In un'eterna ROMA ed. 2020 - Workshop fotografico.

25/9/2020 - 3 giorni / 2 notti.

Proporre un workshop fotografico in una città come Roma è una grande sfida: tutti l’hanno vista, tutti la conoscono… o così credono. Tuttavia “Roma fotografica” ha tanti livelli, e solo l’occhio allenato di un grande professionista può farci fare il salto qualitativo e farci scoprire una città che fino ad ora forse neppure pensavamo potesse esistere. Namaa Travel Photography è orgogliosa di presentare un workshop unico nella Capitale d’Italia, che coniugherà fotografia di architettura, street photograhy, fotografia notturna e un inedito itinerario alle luci dell’alba. Scatteremo agli artisti che si esibiscono, mentre i turisti ridono con loro, entreremo nelle piccole botteghe artigiane, ruberemo istanti ai commercianti e ai ristoratori nella loro eterna lotta con i clienti riluttanti. “Useremo” i turisti e le loro a volte improbabili situazioni per costruire un racconto anche ironico ma sempre maestoso per gli scenari in cui si colloca. Coglieremo l’eternità nei monumenti del centro di notte, quando per le strade di Roma si crea un’atmosfera indefinita, come se il tempo stesso avesse cessato di avere un significato. Daremo infine il buongiorno alla Città Eterna prima che Lei stessa si svegli, cogliendola sotto la luce migliore mentre si stiracchia e si prepara ad una nuova movimentata giornata. Tutto questo in tre fantastiche giornate assieme a Giulio d’Ercole, (https://www.giuliodercolecap.com/), fotografo e fotoreporter romano dalla trentennale esperienza nella Capitale e in numerose località "difficili" del mondo e vincitore di numerosi premi internazionali. Giulio sarà accanto a voi sul campo e nelle review scatti, per farvi tornare a casa con un porftolio-wow di cui andrete fieri a lungo. Roma, così, non l’avete mai fotografata.

MONTAGNE D'ABRUZZO: da Rocca Calascio a Campo Imperatore - Workshop fotografico

17/7/2020 - 3 giorni / 2 notti.

Le montagne d’Abruzzo sono il nostro “piccolo Tibet”: pur così diverse dai soliti scenari alpini hanno una conformazione che le rende estremamente fotogeniche. Se a queste aggiungiamo i mille laghetti appenninici, i borghi medievali arroccati, i pastori e le popolazioni residenti, la via Lattea specchiata sulle acque … abbiamo un insieme di situazioni mozzafiato. Rocca Calascio, Campo Imperatore, il lago di Racollo, i paesini di Santo Stefano di Sessanio e di Castel del Monte… serve altro per voler partire?

GRAN PARADISO tra stambecchi e marmotte

Il parco del Gran Paradiso è il più antico Parco Nazionale italiano: esteso per oltre 70.000 ettari, è situato per metà in Valle d’Aosta, per l’altra in Piemonte. Accoglie, attorno alla vetta del Gran Paradiso, unico “4.000” interamente in territorio italiano, cinque vallate concentriche in cui si trovano tipici ambienti alpini, con ghiacciai, rocce, boschi di larici ed abeti. La fauna ha il suo emblema nello stambecco, simbolo del Parco e ormai diffuso in moltissimi esemplari. Altrettanto diffusa è la marmotta, vera seconda mascotte del parco. E’ anche possibile incontrare camosci, lepri, volpi, tassi, ermellini, donnole, martore, faine. È frequente imbattersi in rapaci come l’aquila, il gipeto (tornato recentemente), la poiana, il gufo reale, e uccelli quali pernice bianca, picchio verde, picchio rosso maggiore, merlo acquaiolo, picchio muraiolo e molti altri ancora. Namaa Travel Photograhy vi propone un weekend fotografico estivo a caccia di stambecchi e di tutta la fauna stanziale del Parco, in uno scenario di rara bellezza montana e pace con la natura. A guidare il gruppo saranno Giulia Cimarosti e Salvatore Fontana, fotografi liguri di casa sul Gran Paradiso, che vi assisteranno ed aiuteranno nell’esecuzione dei vostri scatti. Un vero gioiello saranno poi le nottate sul Colle del Nivolet, famoso per il suo scarso inquinamento luminoso e che ben di presta alla fotografia notturna. Salvatore è fotografo esperto di astrofotografia e coinvolgerà i partecipanti in questa esperienza.
