Nature Photography in Tuscany

Discover the best locations for nature and landscape photography in Tuscany's mountains. Camera gear advice, light guides, and photography-focused hiking experiences with a local guide.

Tuscany’s mountain landscapes offer far more than the classic cypress-lined roads. The light in the Apennines, the geometry of the Nottolini Aqueduct, the textures of ancient forests — these posts cover the places and techniques that make for compelling nature photography.

For practical advice on what to carry, see my lightweight camera setup for hiking. If you’d like to combine photography with guided hiking, I run dedicated photography hikes across the region.
