She came to Calabria for a peaceful vacation. Confident, witty, radiant — a woman who knows herself, her worth, and carries her life experience with pride.
From the very first moment, it was clear: this wasn’t just a shoot, this was energy. We clicked instantly. Everything flowed so naturally and quickly — we laughed, posed, improvised, and within a short time we had a gallery full of portraits that spoke volumes.
We played with mood and light: from soft, feminine, almost cinematic portraits to bold, fashion-inspired shots full of presence and strength.
And just as the sun dipped lower, we found a red lifeguard catamaran resting on the shore. It instantly became the perfect prop — unexpected but so fitting. Its bright color paired beautifully with her dress and the golden tones of the sunset, creating one of my favorite contrasts from the shoot.
This wasn’t just a quick session — it became a little celebration of her personality. Her charm, her humour, her gaze that says: “I know who I am.”
These are the kinds of shoots I love the most — where we capture not just how someone looks, but who they are.
