Dolomites Autumn Tour

Yes, Seceda is part of the tour. We’ll take the cable car all the way to the top, giving us easy access to its spectacular viewpoints. Because conditions can make a huge difference here, we’ll choose the best weather window during the tour to give you the strongest possible chance of coming home with great images.

Some locations are intentionally not revealed publicly, as sharing them could quickly lead to overcrowding. Several of these spots were discovered by Max himself, and he prefers to keep them exclusive to tour participants, preserving both the experience and the photographic potential of each location.

Yes, you are welcome to bring a drone. Flying is not permitted at Seceda and Tre Cime, but there are other locations where you can use it. Max will be happy to advise you on the best places to fly and the strongest aerial compositions to look for.

Before every shoot, Max will brief the group on where we’re going, the compositions we can expect, and which gear and clothing to bring. Once on location, you are free to explore and photograph independently or follow Max’s guidance.

Max will share different composition ideas and help with camera settings, focus stacking techniques, and refining your compositions. Every shoot is focused on maximizing your photographic results—finding strong and unique images while using the weather and light conditions to our advantage.

Yes, while we plan to visit all the locations listed in the itinerary—and several additional spots—Max will adjust the exact schedule based on the weather conditions to maximize our photographic opportunities.

Different locations work best under very different conditions. Some are spectacular with low or dramatic cloud cover, while Alpe di Siusi can be incredible with morning fog. Through years of experience in the Dolomites, Max knows how to read the forecasts, cloud heights and local weather patterns to determine which location gives us the best chance of exceptional conditions each day.

Even if you have already visited the Dolomites, joining the tour can give you a completely different photographic experience:

1. Discover Unique Compositions.
   Max will take you beyond the obvious viewpoints and help you find strong, original compositions you may never have discovered on your own.
2. Learn Directly From Max.
   Throughout every shoot, Max explains his approach to composition, light, camera technique and location planning, giving you insights you can apply far beyond the Dolomites.
3. Master Changing Weather Conditions.
   Knowing a location is one thing; knowing when to photograph it is another. Max will show you how to read forecasts, cloud height, fog and changing light to choose the right location at the right moment.
4. Become Part of the Community.
   The tour is also about sharing the experience with Max and a small group of passionate photographers. It’s a great opportunity to make new connections, exchange ideas and become part of a photography community that often continues long after the tour.
