During a recent photoshoot in Maiori, we met a wonderful white Labrador. This sweet dog happily posed with my model, adding a special touch to our evening. His friendly presence made the session even more enjoyable, and the photos turned out beautifully thanks to his charming cooperation.

Today, I had to wake up very early for a photoshoot. We started shooting at 6 AM, even before the first light of dawn. Strangely enough, my favorite photo from today’s session is the one we took at the very last moment. It was almost the second-to-last picture on the memory card. By then, the sun was fully up, the streets of Atrani were bustling with people, and there was no escaping the bright sunlight. Yet, we managed to capture an image that evokes the charm of old coastal postcards.

I’m left with the feeling that time moves more slowly here than anywhere else…

Today I got a good advice:

Embrace the twists and turns of life just like these winding roads of Amalfi. Every curve carved into the cliff tells a story. Every step forward and every challange you met, brings closer to breathtaking views and new perspectives.

Let the journey be your masterpiece.

My favorite viewpoint above Amalfi

16/04/2024

In the misty morning haze, a striking contrast emerges on the shores of Atrani. In the background, an enormous luxury yacht rests beyond a mound of stones, a symbol of opulence and modern extravagance. Closer to us, a small fishing boat lies on the beach, where it has remained for a couple of months.
The humble vessel, a relic of a simpler time, fell victim to an early spring storm that left it slightly damaged. Now, it rests upon old driftwood, the very same that was cast ashore by the tempestuous waves. Bright, weathered rags drape over the boat, as if to protect it from further harm.
As the morning mist envelops the scene, the juxtaposition of these two vessels from different eras evokes a profound philosophical reflection. The sleek, modern yacht and the battered, traditional fishing boat stand as testaments to the passage of time and the ever-changing nature of our world.

As a photographer, I sometimes have the privilege of being invited into the intimate moments of people’s lives. The subtle exchanges, the heartfelt conversations, the carefully penned letters — these are the instances that reveal the profound beauty and unique texture of the human experience. And occasionally, these moments are so extraordinary, so filled with depth and meaning, that they beg to be shared with a wider audience, to spread their joy and wonder.

You guys may not know the specifics, but these images allow us to feel the weight and significance of this chapter in good people’s lives. They invite us to dream up the rest of the tale, letting our imagination dance through sun-dappled terraces and along dramatic seaside cliffs to a narrative of our own making. As an artist capturing this scene, I feel honored to help immortalize a fragment of such a special memory, forever enshrining a piece of its magic in photographic form.

So… to me, that is the real art - taking a private moment and transforming it into something universal that can move us all.

On the winding route from Sorrento to Positano, there’s a little-known gem that’s not on any official map. This unofficial stopover, a secret shared among wanderers, is where giant buses cautiously halt alongside an array of motorcyclists, each taking a moment to breathe in the stunning vista.

Among the transient visitors, a couple of local artists have found their canvas under the sun. They set up their easels, displaying paintings that mirror the hues of the Amalfi Coast, while also peddling small souvenirs and postcards—a snapshot of memories for travelers to take home.

Below this artists’ alcove lies a secluded fishing cove. Reaching it, however, is a pilgrimage of its own — hundreds of steps stand between the seeker and the azure embrace of the waters. But those who embark on this descent are rewarded with a slice of coastal serenity, far from the clifftop bustle.

This little stop is more than a pause in a journey; it’s a crossroad of culture, art, and nature’s undisturbed beauty, inviting passersby into a world paused in time, where every moment is a living painting.

When summertime is right around the corner, I often find myself walking through the small Italian town of Atrani very early in the morning with my camera. I don't question my early rising.

It only takes me 5 minutes to walk from my apartment to the beach. As I get closer, I see someone in the distance. I'm curious, so I zoom in a bit with my camera. What I see amazes me.

In the early morning light, there's a woman dancing on the shore with complete joy. She moves like no one else is around. I can't stop watching as she takes off her clothes, leaving only her swimsuit, and runs into the sea. She jumps in with so much happiness that I can feel it from where I'm standing.

I take some photos, feeling a bit like I'm seeing something I shouldn't, but I can't look away. The woman swims and floats, seeming to be in her own world, as the sun makes the sky look soft and pretty.

At that moment, I understand that I'm seeing something special - someone finding peace and freedom in the Mediterranean Sea. It reminds me that sometimes, the most beautiful things are found in the simplest moments.

Ahoy there, Amalfi Coast adventurers! ⛵🌊 I've been away channeling my (and some AI) inner artist to whip up some illustrations that capture the magic of cruising along this stunning coastline.

But don't worry, I promise my website Amalfi.day has info that's actually useful for planning your trip - the illustrations are just for fun! 😄 Though I can't guarantee my doodles will do justice to those jaw-dropping cliffs and that glittering blue sea. I guess you'll just have to come see the real thing for yourself! 😉🇮🇹

Check out Amalfi.day for all the must-knows before you go. And keep an eye out for more of my (very amateur) Amalfi-inspired artwork! ⚓🌄

On the Amalfi Coast, the tourist season traditionally commences around Easter. However, even on weekends leading up to this, one can sense the increasing presence of visitors thronging the streets. Sorrento boasts a variety of steakhouses already bustling with activity. Moreover, restaurants are enticing passersby with offerings such as Fish and Chips and Calves Liver. Interestingly, the culinary landscape in Sorrento mirrors a diverse blend of British, American, and Italian cuisines, owing to the proximity of an American military base and frequent stops by international cruise ships at the port. As the season gears up to unfold, we extend our warmest congratulations to all. Join us on the enchanting Amalfi and Sorrento coasts.

Atrani

One of the Smallest Towns in Italy: Atrani is renowned for being one of the smallest municipalities in Italy. Despite its tiny size, it's packed with charm and character. This quaint town covers less than 0.12 square kilometers, yet it's remarkably rich in history and beauty.

Hidden Gem with Medieval Architecture: Unlike some of its more crowded neighbors on the Amalfi Coast, Atrani has managed to maintain a sense of untouched beauty and authenticity. It's a hidden gem where you can find medieval architecture untouched by modern development. The town's narrow streets, arches, courtyards, and characteristic white houses clinging to the cliffs create a unique and enchanting atmosphere.

A Favorite Among Artists and Filmmakers: Atrani's picturesque setting has made it a favorite location for artists and filmmakers. Its scenic beauty and traditional Italian coastal architecture have been the backdrop for various films and paintings. The town's allure lies in its ability to blend the natural beauty of the coast with the charm of its historical buildings, making it a living canvas that has inspired many.

It is situated 300m from Amalfi and it is one of Must-visit places in Italy

Amalfi's trees sparkle under the rain tonight! 🌧✨

On the day following Christmas, I had the unique pleasure of witnessing a flock of brave souls in Amalfi, plunging into the winter sea as if it were a tropical paradise. Contrary to the deceivingly balmy appearance in the photos, the reality was a shiver-inducing 57°F. There I was, bundled up in my winter coat, questioning my life choices, while these aquatic enthusiasts gleefully took their polar bear plunge. The source of their seemingly irrational joy? Not so mysterious after all. Their 'liquid courage' was none other than Prosecco, and lots of it, cheerfully consumed before their daring dance with the icy Mediterranean waters.

On the path between Amalfi and Atrani, you can spot a home with an entrance so beautifully decorated, it looks like it's straight out of a movie. No surprise people passing by admire it all year round!

Tonight's fireworks in Atrani were truly mesmerizing. Locals refer to it as 'Calata della Stella - 143° Edizione,’ marking the 143rd year of this enchanting tradition. The sky was lit by a spectacular 'falling star' created from fireworks, illuminating the streets of our quaint town. It's hard to put into words how magical it was. The streets were bustling with excitement, and for the first time, I experienced this event as a true local. We celebrated with a private rooftop party right in the heart of the town, offering a unique vantage point of the breathtaking display. Here are some photos to share the beauty of the night. Stay tuned for videos. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
