From the very first messages, I already knew — this photo shoot was going to be something special. I prepared like always: collecting inspiration, building a moodboard, and writing a checklist of props and ideas. I even reached out to friends for extra accessories — bags, glasses, and little accents. And then came a message from the girls that melted my heart: “This already feels more like a reunion with a longtime friend than a photo shoot.”
That was exactly the energy we carried into the day.
Our adventure began at 8 AM when I picked them up from their hotel. First stop — the magical Fiordo di Furore. It was calm, quiet, and dreamlike. We had the cliffside nearly to ourselves and captured soft, early light bathing the Amalfi Coast.
After a lunch break, our photography trip continued toward Positano. We paused at a famous overlook where Salvatore sells fresh produce from his colorful cart. It wasn’t just a photo location — it was a full-on Italian cultural experience. Salvatore welcomed us with open arms and let us shoot beside his picture-perfect setup.
We were lucky to stumble upon vintage Fiat 500s, and of course, took some spontaneous, cinematic shots with them. Though we arrived in Positano later than planned, we embraced the vibrant crowds as part of the story. Some documentary-style photos captured the soul of the town — full of life, sunshine, and movement.
There were lemons, Prosecco, music, and dancing — the kind of photo shoot that feels more like a celebration. These girls have been best friends for over 25 years. More than friends, really — sisters in spirit.
Being a photographer in Italy often means more than taking beautiful pictures. It means being a quiet observer of deep bonds and once-in-a-lifetime moments. This best friends forever photo shoot is one I’ll always carry in my heart.
