Valdirose - on film

At Valdirose, everything speaks of details carefully planned, traditions of the past, and memories of happy moments. How could we not shoot in there in a similar way? Film, and our vintage cameras, in our opinion perfectly suggest the mood of the place, but anyhow, you should really pay a visit to discover two beautiful souls, Paolo and Irene, to taste their cakes and to savor their enchanting tuscan accent.

They are a breathe of fresh air both for your mind and heart.

Al Valdirose, tutto parla di attenzione ai dettagli, di rispetto per le tradizioni del passato e ricordi di momenti felici. Come potevamo non fotografarlo con un mezzo che rendesse onore a tutto questo? La pellicola, e le nostre macchine fotografiche ormai vintage, possono suggerirne l'atmosfera, ma vi consigliamo di visitarlo di persona, di sedervi a chiacchierare con Irene e Paolo, di assaggiare i loro dolci e lasciarvi cullare dal loro accento toscano.

Sono ossigeno per la mente, e per il cuore.

Melissa - Portraits

When Melissa contacted us for a portrait session on film we were super happy! She's an amazing American film photographer in love with Italy, and we spent a great afternoon with her. Camogli was in our mind since the beginning of our conversation as a possible location. The pastel colored houses, the sea, the little church…everything screams Italy! We were lucky enough to have a little sunshine before sunset, then epic clouds and finally rain. Nothing that gelato and cappuccino can't fix.
