Taking a decent photo has been rendered as easy as it’s ever been. Digital cameras are so smart that as long as you have a steady hand, decent eye, and reasonably flexible index finger you’ll probably get a pretty good image. But capturing a great shot, really nailing it, still takes a whole lot more know-how and a range of experience.

We’re constantly flying around the world wide web looking for beautiful images and talented photographers–simply because we love a great photo. Recently, we stumbled on an exceptional photographer based in our own backyard—Toronto-based Michael Graydon. Although the bulk of his professional work is of food and interiors, he’s been known to take a mean travel shot. We thought you might enjoy a handful of his pictures from Puglia, the sun-soaked and fish-filled coastal region that makes up the spur-to-heel part of Italy’s boot.
