An excellent week in Cinque Terre and Tuscany. But what made it work so well was Vieri’s understanding of the local area, coupled with his enthusiasm for making one a better photographer. Every day we would discuss what we had done – and the lessons that we could take away from those experiences. And Vieri is a great teacher: he helps you work out for yourself what you are trying to do and how you can best achieve your goals. He also happens to be a great companion!
I have done many workshops and one-to-ones over the years. I can truthfully say that Vieri’s is up there with the best of them, and his is probably the best!
I have been exploring Cinque Terre & Tuscany since my childhood, spending many beautiful summers there, and I started photographing these amazing landscapes intensively in 2014 visiting many times a year, until in 2023 my wife and I made Tuscany our home. The quintessentially Italian, iconic landscapes of Cinque Terre & Tuscany, ranging from picturesque villages and rough seascapes to serene rolling hills and medieval towns, epitomised Italy for generations of artists and photographers. For me, they are home, and it feels like Cinque Terre & Tuscany’s beauty has always been a part of me.
Designing your Cinque Terre & Tuscany Photography Workshop, leveraging on over a decade of experience leading more than 110 Workshops, 18 of which in Cinque Terre & Tuscany so far, I selected a comprehensive Portfolio of locations ranging from the seascapes of Cinque Terre, iconic villages clinging on cliffs, to the hilly landscapes of Tuscany, world-famous for their tranquil beauty and incredibly moody under the right weather conditions.
During this Workshop, I am looking forward to putting at your service a lifetime dedicated to exploring and photographing these amazing Italian landscapes, together with my extensive tutoring expertise, for a truly unique, rewarding and photographically inspiring learning experience!

The Cinque Terre and Tuscany workshop took us to places that were familiar from so many works by other photographers, but Vieri’s unique perspective and understanding of the landscape enabled us to see them in quite unfamiliar, exciting ways. His style of teaching is never intrusive – just a gentle question or a subtle suggestion that opens up a new possibility of composing an image, both on location and in the excellent daily image review and post-processing sessions that are such a great feature of his workshops!
To make the most out of your time with us, we recommend you will bring to the Workshop:
