How to Location Scout for Landscape Photography | Lake Como Hiking

I was fed up of being stuck in the apartment and thankfully the restrictions in Lombardy changed, which meant that I was able to leave the city of Como for other areas. Because this area is new to me and I haven’t had an opportunity to explore I needed to do some location scouting for future landscape photography shoots. One place I had been curious about visiting since I arrived in Italy was the little village of Brunate that sits on the hill overlooking Como.

I studied maps of the local area and found a hiking trail that leads to the village and ascends the hill through a forest. That looked like a promising walk. The map also showed various view points from where there ought to be a nice vista of the city of Como.

I filmed the hike as a point of view, taking you along the walk with me and while I progress up the hill I talk about my location scouting technique. As I made my way to the village I was considering when to return for some better images and taking test shots along the way.

It was a great day out exploring and I’ve got to return to some of the viewpoints for some excellent landscape photography.
