Summery. Fresh. Intimate.
For me, the Mediterranean sea means summer and summer means calm, serenity and peace. After so many months of lockdown, it was like reconnecting with paradise and it gave us some respite from the pandemic. I love shooting carefree, everyday Mediterranean life.
Can I say everywhere? I would really love to travel to South America. It's completely unknown to me. I want to get lost in all the different, vibrant cultures - especially in Mexico and Brazil.
To Mexico, hopefully. At least, that was the pre-pandemic plan.
To travel, I love to keep it simple. I always use analog; sometimes 35mm cameras because they are light and very practical, but I really love medium format, so I try to take both with me. And, of course, plenty of Kodak Portra film.
