How would you like 10 days of fantastic photographic exploration under the Italian sun? Picture yourself meandering the piazzas and streets of Florence with your DSLR, or better yet standing on the edge of a deep harbour in the magnificent Cinque Terre, watching the sunset paint the brightly coloured cliffside buildings with warm and burnished hues? Or basking in golden glow of a Tuscan sunrise or sunset as you photograph the sublime landscape of undulating hills, winding roads, hilltop farms and stands of cypress trees. And the scrumptious food, the superb wine, the dolce vita… !

Venture Photography Workshops would like you to join them in to the “Cinque Terre – Tuscany Photo Expedition”, which runs from April 28 – May 7 next year. This is a very special photographic expedition that combines travel to some of the most amazing and off-the-beaten-path locations in Italy with photographic opportunities and tuition to make sure that you make the most of your Italian visual experience. You’ll be joined by Seng Mah (that’s me!) and Gianni Stanghellini, the guru of Italian country walks and nature hikes — you’ll visit places that few tourists venture and make you a travelling photographer, not a snap-happy tourist!
