Italy Photography Tour 2012

July 5th, 2012

Here are a few of my favourite images from the Italy Photography Tour & Workshop in June 2012.  We had an amazing group of five photographers and two companions and couldn’t have asked for better personalities.  So much fun!

Gelato, pizza, wine, cheese, salami, olives…..the list goes on and on.  This woman is enjoying her gelato on the steps in San Gimignano – best gelato in Italy!

One of the fabulous perks of having our own villa was having a fridge and a kitchen.  We would pick up cheese and meats, wine and bread, olives and other yummy stuff and come back to the villa to relax and sample the flavours of Italy.

With Max Brunelli as our private driver and guide and the small group size, we can “stop the car” at any moment and photograph whatever inspires us in the moment.  Love the freedom and creativity!

Why we stopped the car. :) Golden hour over the wheat fields of Tuscany.

The golden hour light spilling over the rolling hills of Tuscany.  We all yelled “stop the car” and jumped out to capture the barley fields glowing in the evening sun.  We laughed at how we looked and felt a bit like “gorillas in the mist”.
