PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR

TUSCANY
with photographer and instructor Jack Schachner


Ground Tour Only
 
  The photography tour in Tuscany will encompass the very best from the region with daily photo excursions to picturesque towns and villages.  Photo opportunities will be captured while visiting Florence, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and Certaldo. We will have informative guided tours of Florence and Siena. The program is sufficiently informal to accommodate instructional lessons in the breathtaking Tuscan surroundings. 
   
Image 02 Students are encouraged and expected to take risks with their photographic self-expression and capture the story beyond the image. The relaxed instructional approach and daily critiques will motivate the photographer to build on their existing strengths, passion and creativity while viewing the world through a lens. “Learning about photography and becoming a better photographer can be a never ending process. Since each student has different foundations, he presents a broad framework of ideas for personal development and improvement.” (Lou Breithaupt, Oakville)
     
  What we teach our participants is based on their needs, goals and aspirations. Topics we will cover include: quality and quantity of light, exposure, selective focus, composition (incorporating principles of design and elements of design), capturing a moment, telling a story.  Jack relishes the chance to incorporate personal awareness with an exciting travel opportunity in an intimate group setting. 
 
This area of Tuscany is unique in its variety of breathtaking landscapes and beauty. San Gimignano which dominates the Elsa Valley with its centuries old towers is considered one of the most charming and picturesque of all the Tuscan hill towns. 

With its wonderfully preserved squares, stunning views and lively atmosphere the town is a great place to stroll, explore and enjoy numerous masterpieces
