About our Photo Tours

Adventures thru the Lens Photo Tours are Urban Adventures. The goal is for travelers to:


• Discover and experience a city through the eyes of a local photographer.
• Encourage the observation of new viewpoints and interesting details which might easily be overlooked.
• To improve photography technique.
• To have a more interesting experience and involvement when visiting a city.
• Have fun
 

Our English-speaking Photographers have in-depth local knowledge, a passion for their city and for the art of photography. Photographers are carefully selected for their breadth of style and experience in either travel or photo-documentary/reportage.
So bring your camera and be prepared to walk, shoot and click.

About the photographer

Tony Boccaccio is the artist in residence who has lived in Rome for over a decad.  He began his career with National Geographic Magazine in 1971, and like most photographers,  is a series of interesting contrasts: His lens has captured the frozen landscapes of Iceland and the sweltering jungles of the Amazon. A world-class photographer, presenter and teacher, Tony has photographed in over 30 countries in as many years with a client list that is straight from the Fortune 500. Fluent in Italian and steeped in Italian culture and history, he is the ultimate combination of photographer, artist, guide and coach.

Boccaccio’s unique style, his way of seeing the world and capturing it on film is what most impressed us at Geographic. 
I can’t think of a more qualified photographer to teach the art of seeing, particularly as it relates to photography!”
