Untapped Gem at the Heel of Italy - Puglia Photography Tour

Our Puglia photography tour will take place in October 2025 with Charlie Waite and Astrid McGechan.

At the heel of Italy, Puglia is an untapped gem for photographers. Its long history as a melting pot of wealthy civilisations during Greek, Roman and Baroque times, coupled with its fertile soil, extensive coastline and unique trulli architecture that is still lived in today, makes Puglia a truly exceptional destination.

Untapped Gem at the Heel of Italy - Puglia Photography Tour

Puglia Photography Tour - Puglia Landscape Photography
Remarkably, our photography tour of Puglia will include two UNESCO world heritage sites within just over an hour's drive of each other. We have chosen to visit Puglia at a time when tourist numbers are lower, and the countryside will be bathed in warm amber autumn light.

Puglia Photography Holiday

Our days will include a rich mix of landscape and architecture, including classic views and alternative image making opportunities, from the fertile fields of central Puglia, dotted with the entrancing cone-topped round trullis, huge olive trees gnarled over hundreds of years and small vineyards, to the Greek-looking whitewashed hilltop and coastal villages with their narrow alleyways and often crumbling features. Our days will be filled with an unusual variety of subject matter and photographic opportunities. We will explore Matera, a World Heritage awarded city that clings to its rocky defensive location and that is still, in parts, just as it was left when parts of it were briefly abandoned in the 1950's. (If you are a James Bond fan, you can retrace his steps!) We will also have a chance to visit charming coastal locations and explore various techniques to create fresh imagery including ICM and multiple exposures.

We will be driven around our carefully chosen Puglia locations in our private minibus and will be using two comfortable hotels as our bases during the tour. Our first base is just 20 minutes from Bari airport, and yet is an idyllic coastal hideaway that feels as though time has stood still. Our hotel is in the heart of the old town in a stylishly converted Benedictine Monastery from where you can hear the waves crashing on the shores just yards from the Hotel's front door. Our second hotel will be in the UNESCO world heritage site of Alberobello with its over 1,000 trulli straddling cobbled narrow streets. This incredible town as well as its surroundings offer many photographic opportunities all within easy reach.

Charlie and Astrid are looking forward to showing you a lively and unique part of Italy that is still regarded as Italy’s best kept secret.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Easy - most locations are arrived at by vehicle, and most subjects and viewpoints are within easy reach. No particular level of fitness is required.

Moderate - these tours involve some walking, perhaps sometimes in towns, or on well developed trails. There may be a limited amount of uphill walking. Please advise if you have any fitness concerns.

Strenuous - these are tours which may include demanding levels of walking, including some prolonged or steep ascents and descents. Rough terrain (off the beaten track) may well be encountered. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these trips.
