BEST PHOTO EXPERIENCES SOUTH TYROL 2017 – 2020

This 2020 was marked for the world of travel photography by the pandemic crisis of Covid-19.

The whole world has slowed down, but travel photography has probably almost completely stopped.

In such a special context, we decided to resume doing what we do best: inspiring travellers. The world of photographer-travellers is quite large, but they share common passions and interests.

As Master Photo Tour we decided to show that we are active members of a community.

For this reason, we decided to support the initiative that the inhabitants of the Dolomites have undertaken: #everythingwelove

Many travellers and photographers have already joined the initiative, sharing memories of their experiences in South Tyrol – old or recent.

We, as MasterPhotoTour.com, decided to support the initiative by editing the material of the last 4 years of projects and building 10 monographic stories about the photographers who have been part of Master Travel Photography.

Olga and Jan arrived in the Dolomites in autumn 2018, forming a well-matched pair of artists.

Olga Chagunava is a young cosmopolitan content creator based in London. With a background in large corporations, she decided to devote herself completely to travel photography and videomaking.

Her style is decidedly romantic, almost dreamlike at times. Deeply attentive to the setting, she is often the protagonist of her shots, in dreamy and evocative positions.

Jan Gawron is a German photographer who has had the opportunity to travel a lot. As typical of his fellow countrymen, he offers very dense images with the Alpine subject well present, often with the intense tones of thunderstorms, giving the images a dramatic sense.

The professional couple worked synergistically mainly to produce a video, with footage of Jan then edited by Olga, which impressed the participants a lot, creating very representative storytelling of South Tyrol.

Alan is a Slovak photographer with a long international history. Today based in Prague, he recounts one of the most fascinating cities in Central Europe.

Alan, aka Alanisko, participated in the photo tour of the Dolomites in 2020.

It was the first winter event, mostly at high altitude.

The clear sky and pure February air would never have made you think that a health crisis would soon break out. The pandemic would have completely annihilated travel and the very freedom of the people.

In Alan’s photograph we can recognize two traits.

On the one hand, his admiration for nature and its atavistic architecture, and on the other, his deep curiosity for the people who inhabit these Alpine lands.

In his way of photographing one recognizes the true traveller, an explorer who uses the camera as a research tool.
