Experience Tuscany

Discover the classic motifs, unknown locations and local life.

We will visit the most beautiful Tuscan landscapes in the surroundings of our villa near Buonconvento / San Quirico d’Orcia / Pienza. Here we are centrally located in Tuscany and only a few minutes’ drive from the most beautiful locations. A day trip to Siena, for example, provides us with more great motifs.

We have our own comfortable Mercedes Vito (or similar) minibus which we use to get to our locations. This way you don’t have to drive yourself, can’t get lost and we get to the most beautiful places quickly and easily.

We will take a lot of photos, but we will also edit our pictures together in Lightroom, Capture One and/or Photoshop and print them on a fine art printer. You will learn everything you need for high-quality fine art photography hands-on. Instead of learning Lightroom or Capture One in theory, you will learn it hands-on during the workshop from one of the most experienced Lightroom, Photoshop and Capture One trainers in Europe.

You’ll come home with lots of great pictures, wonderful impressions of Tuscany and plenty of new workflow knowledge and printed fine art prints. If you want, you can also try out high-end medium format photography with a Phase One XF / XT, an Alpa STC and Plus with shift and tilt and 100 and 150 megapixel backs from Phase One.

Tuscany is one of Frank’s favorite destinations in Europe for photography and he often travels to the region where our workshop takes place. That’s why he knows numerous well-known but also less well-known locations, knows on which day of the week and at what time of day it is best to be where, to get the most beautiful lighting moods and to have as few selfie tourists as possible standing next to him. He also knows numerous beautiful, regional osterias, entoteca’s and restaurants, so that you can also get to know Tuscany here.

A camera on a tripod captures a sunrise over a grassy field, reminiscent of a fotoreise through Toskana. The screen shows the sun rising above the horizon, with soft golden light illuminating the landscape.

  • Three people with tripods and cameras capture the beauty of the Toskana: rolling green hills, a reflective pond, and a winding road lined with cypress trees under a partly cloudy sky. Backpacks for fotografie rest on the grass nearby.
  • A group of people wearing jackets and hats stand among green bushes, looking out over the rolling grassy hills of Toskana under a cloudy sky. Some are holding cameras or binoculars, perhaps taking part in a photography workshop or seeking a Fine Art Print.

  • Several people in bright clothing stand on a lush green hillside in the Toskana under a cloudy sky, some with tripods and cameras, enjoying a fotografie workshop surrounded by rolling grass-covered hills and wildflowers.
  • An older man wearing sunglasses relaxes with his feet up on a chair under a wooden pergola in a sunny backyard, surrounded by patio furniture and greenery—a scene worthy of a Fine Art Print.
  • A scenic view of a grassy yard with a swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs, trees, and hills in the background. In the foreground, a wooden table and chairs on the patio evoke the charm of a Fine Art Print, with skies mostly clear above.
  • A gravel path lined with tall, slender trees disappears into dense fog, capturing the mystique of Toskana. Large, shadowy trees are faintly visible in the misty background—a scene perfect for any fotoreise fotografie enthusiast. Grass borders either side of the path.
  • Seven people sit around an outdoor table enjoying a meal together, with plates, glasses, wine, and juice on the table. The sunny setting with trees and greenery evokes the relaxed spirit of a fotoreise or creative workshop.
  • A man adjusts a camera on a tripod outdoors during a photography workshop, while another man points at the camera. Rolling hills and trees, reminiscent of Toskana, are visible in the background under a cloudy sky.
  • A group of six people, some holding cameras, gather outdoors on a field while one person adjusts a camera on a tripod. The others watch closely, appearing focused and engaged—like artists preparing for a Fine Art Print under the partly cloudy sky.
  • Four people on a fotoreise stand with tripods atop a hill at sunrise, photographing the scenic landscape of rolling hills, fields, and distant trees. Their camera gear and bags rest nearby under a vibrant sky—a true celebration of fotografie.

  • Slices of toasted bread with olive oil and truffle shavings are served next to melted cheese topped with truffle slices on a black slate plate, evoking the flavors of Toskana. A fork and a drinking glass are partially visible beside the food.
  • A person in a black jacket stands on a grassy hillside with a camera on a tripod, capturing the scenic landscape—perhaps during a photography workshop. Another person with a tripod is visible in the background, both seeking that perfect Fine Art Print.
  • A winding dirt road lined with tall cypress trees leads to a distant farmhouse on a hill, surrounded by rolling fields under soft, diffused light—the perfect Toskana scene for any fotografie enthusiast or fotoreise adventure.
  • Several people with tripods and cameras stand on a golden, gently rolling hill during sunrise or sunset, capturing the scenic view as part of a fotografie workshop in a rural landscape with distant hills, clear sky, and a large tree on the right.
  • Shelves in a shop display assorted wheels of cheese and bottles of wine, evoking the charm of Toskana. The cheeses vary in color and size, with several labeled, including Pecorino di Pienza. Handwritten signs hang from the shelves—a perfect fotografie workshop setting.
  • Five men sit around a table with laptops in a bright room, participating in a Toskana workshop. They view landscape photos and discuss Fine Art Prints, while a projector displays a large photo at the front, creating a collaborative atmosphere.
  • A close-up of melted cheese slices topped with whole walnut halves, served on a black plate. The bubbly, slightly browned cheese brings fine art print quality to this culinary moment—worthy of a fotoreise through flavor.
  • A plate with a round serving of beef tartare on shredded radicchio, garnished with a chive, and accompanied by small dishes of olive oil, red sauce, and capers—beautifully captured as if for a Fine Art Print.
  • A glass display case shows various desserts, including slices of cake, pastries, cookies under domes, and whipped cream treats. Above, a chalkboard menu and bottles are partially visible—perfect inspiration for a fotografie workshop or Fine Art Print.
  • Five people stand on dry, rocky ground with tripods and cameras during a fotoreise workshop, aiming their lenses to the left. Trees and bushes are in the background, and camera bags rest on the ground nearby.

Our location

a Tuscan villa / country house in the Val d’Orcia

We all live together in a Tuscan villa / vacation home with 7 double rooms, 8 bathrooms and large communal areas. This means we can come together at any time to discuss, edit, learn and print images on a fine art printer. Accommodation, drinks and breakfast are included in the workshop price. We do breakfast according to the self-catering principle. This means we get bread, butter, jam and some sausage and cheese and have breakfast together after the morning shoot. Important: We don’t live in a hotel and we expect everyone to lend a hand and sometimes overlook small imperfections.

Note: The pictures are from locations we had already rented. As we do not always manage to book the same villa, these pictures show examples – however, we cannot guarantee an exact villa, only that they are all very beautiful, well-kept and clean.
