Photo tours in Taranto: the most evocative corners of the Old Town, the sunsets on the seafront and the sea views, accompanied by a photographer.
History
Taranto is an intensely photogenic city: the southern light, the contrast of ancient stone and sea, the alleys, the fishermen, the sunsets over the gulf. A photo tour accompanied by a photographer is the perfect way to capture its soul and improve your own shots.
What to see
Led by a photographer who knows the city, you reach the most evocative corners: the alleys and lookouts of the Old Town, the "ringhiera" over the Mar Piccolo, the Swing Bridge, the Aragonese Castle and the seafront at sunset.
The photographer shares tips on composition, light and technique, adapting to the participants' level: from beginners with a smartphone to enthusiasts with a camera. Some tours are also the occasion for a personal photo shoot.
It's an experience blending the discovery of the city with the art of seeing, to return home with new images — and new eyes.
