Franco to me defines the word character. Unapologetic connection to the past, raising animals like countless generations before him on a family farm is not a common thing in the middle of modern Italy. It’s a choice I admire and I feel it a real privilege to enter that world and make a few photographs. Drake

Marina and Mariano. She grew up here in this Tuscan farmhouse still occupied and worked by her family since the 1880’s. Marina is an in-charge woman and I wanted to portray that in this portrait. Earlier this spring she welcomed our little band of photographers with open arms and a torta to die for! Consider joining us on an italyworkshops photo tour to experience wonderful people like Mariana. farmhouse

Roberto is an important resident of Monticchiello, (population 200) a gem of a village we visit often. He’ll bend your ear about the Teatro Povero (Poor Theater) that the community puts on outdoors in the beautiful central piazza each summer. Look for Roberto in the only store in the village, but regardless grab a beverage, sit in the piazza and soak in this pristine hilltop village. Better yet, join us for our Tuscany photo workshop in May 2025.

In Siena the Biccherna Museum is a favorite of ours each year. Handwritten Siena archives dating to the 8th century reside in the wonderful old Palazzo Piccolomini and the good folks there allow us to photograph and study the books and remarkable cover art. And even creat an impromptu portrait now and then!

Who can resist a sunrise in the Val d’Orcia? 5pm comes fast after a classic Tuscan dinner and conversation late into the night but hey, there are some scenes even I can’t resist.

Last minute opening in Tuscany. All 2024 workshops are sold out but because of a late cancelation (health reasons) we have an opening for a couple. If you have the freedom to travel last-minute, this can be a wonderfully life changing experience.
Authentic farmhouse stay
World famous landscapes at harvest time
Charming hilltop villages
Local food and wine experiences
All topped off by meeting friends of ours, local characters who don't mind being photographed -a rare opportunity! - https://mailchi.mp/busath.com/last-minute-opening-in-tuscany

Remembering Mario Borgogni, blacksmith and a fixture in Buonconvento. A gracious soul who opened his shop to us and our prying cameras over two decades. We’ll genuinely miss you.

Here's a truly outrageous gift for the photography enthusiast in your life. In our 25th year, we offer week-long photo tours and workshops in 6 different regions of Italy. These deep-dive tours are especially good for folks who have already been to Italy because we stay off the beaten track, focusing on small villages and countryside.
A $500 deposit holds your spot, so lock one up soon before they sell out.
