The Classic Postcard of Italy, the Daydream of Photographers.
In the classic imaginary of foreigners, the landscapes of Italy are made of sweet gentle hills, alleys of cypresses, isolated stone or brick farmhouses and medieval old villages. Actually, these landscapes are mostly all coming from this small area of Tuscany : the Orcia Valley & the Crete Senesi surrounding the old city of Siena.
Round slopes of open valleys with only few trees but fields. A bare territory, somehow lunar. A frame of lines and shapes, where the lights play openly and freely according to the seasons and the time of the day.
A land for Landscape Photography.

Minimalism, shapes, lines, lights… The Photographer specific vocabulary and dreamy Holiday!
