Saul Pleeter / Images from Puglia and Basilicata

I got to know Saul Pleeter when he came to the Portofino Coast workshop some years ago.  Since then he’s become a great friend and we’ve photographed together all over Italy.  On this trip, along with his wife Elizabeth we explored a ghost town in the region of Basilicata named Craco.  The crumbling hilltop town and it’s ruins really appealed to Sauls’s sense of history.   One of the images I love here  is from an abandoned olive oil cellar in a disused Masseria in Puglia we were lucky enough to get into.
