A photographic journey through the heart of southern Italy. Over 7 days, we will explore three distinct areas of Puglia, staying in Trani, Ostuni, and Lecce — from elegant fishing ports to whitewashed hilltowns and baroque cities. This workshop is designed for travelers who love both photography and discovery: we will chase the best light, wander through ancient olive groves, eat in local trattorias, and experience the quieter, authentic side of this fascinating region.
📍Day 1 — Arrival in Trani & Sunset at the Port
Our journey begins in the elegant port town of Trani, on the Adriatic coast. After your arrival in Bari, I will welcome you and accompany you to our accommodation. In the late afternoon, we’ll enjoy our first sunset shoot by the sea, capturing the Romanesque cathedral bathed in golden light and the lively atmosphere of the harbor.
📍Day 2 — Fishermen in Trani & Flamingos in Margherita di Savoia
We’ll begin the day documenting the local fishermen of Trani, their boats, and the authentic rhythms of a coastal morning. In the afternoon, we’ll head to Margherita di Savoia, known for its vast salt pans and seasonal flamingos. With luck, we’ll capture a fiery sunset reflected on the shallow waters. Return to Trani for the night.
📍Day 3 — Ostuni: Arrival in the White City
After breakfast, we’ll drive south through the countryside, passing ancient olive groves and stone walls. Our destination is Ostuni, the hilltop “White City” that gleams under the Apulian sun. After checking in, we’ll stroll through its winding alleys and sun-bleached staircases, capturing textures, colors, and light as the town shifts into evening.
📍Day 4 — Polignano a Mare & Alberobello
A day of contrasts. In the morning, we’ll visit Polignano a Mare, a cliffside town dramatically perched above the Adriatic, full of balconies, sea views, and striking light. In the afternoon, we head inland to Alberobello, famous for its conical-roofed trulli houses — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Return to Ostuni for dinner and rest.
📍Day 5 — From Ostuni to Lecce
We’ll say goodbye to Ostuni and continue our journey south to Lecce, the baroque jewel of Salento. Once we’ve settled in, we’ll start exploring its elegant squares, churches, and courtyards, built from the city’s characteristic golden limestone. The afternoon light here is ideal for fine architectural and street photography.
📍Day 6 — Full Day in Lecce
Today we stay local to go deeper. Lecce’s charm unfolds slowly — we’ll roam from artisan workshops to hidden lanes, from ornate facades to peaceful cloisters. With cameras in hand, we’ll capture the city’s atmosphere across changing light. Over aperitivo or dinner, we’ll share the week’s stories and some of our favorite photos.
Our time together ends in Lecce. Depending on your schedule, you might enjoy a slow morning in the city, a final espresso in the square, or one last walk with your camera. From here, you’ll return home with a full memory card and a deeper connection to this unique region of southern Italy.
📍Day 7 — Farewell from Lecce

MATTEO TORRE
Rome, my city, is undoubtedly one of the first loves of my life, I know stories, alleys, small and big secrets that very often leave even the Romans speechless.
Yet, Puglia! A region I fell in love with, in which I traveled and which I know very well. For this reason, it is precisely here that I decided to structure this photographic workshop, traveling through some of the most iconic and wonderful places on the coast, going to discover amazing landscapes, nice small villages, or famous Baroque cities.
