The Dolomites -A Masterclass in Light, Form, and Composition

The Dolomites are a landscape photographer’s dream—a natural playground where dramatic geology meets dynamic light. Towering limestone spires, deep valleys, reflective alpine lakes, and ever-shifting weather patterns offer a perfect blend of technical challenge and creative inspiration.

Over 8 days, on this photo tour, I will take you through a carefully curated itinerary designed to maximize photographic potential in golden hours, blue hours, and even under changing skies.

You'll explore iconic locations like Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lago di Braies, Passo Giau, and Alpe di Siusi—each chosen for their compositional depth and unique light behavior throughout the day.
