Before our photoshoot, Chiara and I were constantly in touch. I checked the weather 100 times and then checked hourly, hoping that we could make at least a couple of photos. When I was already leaving for it, rain started falling. Shooting at home wasn’t an option because the family was in the process of moving. Then the bus randomly went to a different stop and I ended up far from the meeting point.
My clients picked me up by car from the beach where the storm had brought a record amount of seaweed and also where many local fishermen had come because the net was torn at the fish farm due to the storm.
It was windy and gray. Rain was drizzling. We stood on the waterfront without a particular plan of where and how.
I didn’t know the area well, so I relied on the local family to choose the location and just pointed with my finger to places where the clouds seemed less dense.
And we arrived at a place where sun rays were breaking through, a real January island wind was blowing, and a beautiful view opened up.
And then it became so cozy and warm from their closeness and interactions.
In many moments, I chose to simply observe and capture moments without interference.
We finished our meeting in an Italian cafe to talk a bit more and warm up ❤️
