Because the peace I’ve felt in certain monasteries
Or the vibrant harmony of all senses awakened
Are just the shadow of the light.
[The Shadow of the Light – Franco Battiato]
Sometimes all you need is the essential: a hill not far from home, two expecting parents, and a light that shifts and surprises with its evolving nature.
With Elena and Stefano, we chose simplicity. No scripts, no forced poses, just the wish to capture real moments. Something to look back on one day with a smile, and maybe a touch of nostalgia.
To do that, I reached for an old analog lens. Manual focus, a bit of unpredictability, and those rare, unexpected flares that only come when you make space for imperfection.
A small risk, maybe. But one of those creative choices that reminded me why I really love my profession.
This session helped me grow. And I’m sure it will stand the test of time not just for them, but for me too.
