Last November, for medical reasons, I left the island and travelled to Washington DC and Virginia. My dear friend Meghan opened the door of her home &Â heart, to offer me the best stay possible. Together we visited to core of Washington DC, one of the most beautiful American city (according to me): I love the monuments, the history, the culture, the art, the nature of the fascinating capital. I'm addicted to the TV series "Scandal", and my mind couldn't help it but creating fun stories about every politician I crossed ;-)
A collection of beautiful images is one of the best way to remember your wonderful vacation spent with the people you love the most. When the kids cooperate, have fun and smile away, the family portrait suddenly gives a reason to mom to start an happy dance, and a vision for the home re-decoration. Three sweet kids, gorgeous parents, a touch of vibrant colours, the amazing beach of The Tuscany resort: this family photo session couldn't be better. I felt so lucky!
I just finished to order a new album for my studio collection and I can't wait to have it in my hands! The digital format is a must for the modern world, but the beauty of an elegant coffee-table book, can't be replaced by a series of pictures displayed on a computer screen. Every page reveals a special moment, weakening memories and creating new emotions. The unique acrylic cover (a piece of art on its own), the silk page finishing, the storytelling design... be enchanted and open the album.
What's your most precious piece of art? A beautiful painting created by a famous artist or the picture your of kid smiling? Photographs touch our hearts, they are the memories of a lifetime. Elizabeth and Hubert decided to redecorate the walls of their beautiful apartment, choosing to replace their art pieces with the happy faces of their grandkids, in black and white. Taking advantage of the holiday vacation, we planned a family portrait at The Sands at Grace Bay... and here are the results:
Three years ago I had the chance to meet and photograph Simone: my camera fell in love with her beauty at first sight so we (my Canon and I) were very happy to welcome her back to the Turks and Caicos and schedule a second photo shoot on the beach. A friend (thank you Aggies for the support and help!), a bikini, a hat, a couple of accessories, black nails and stunning aqua eyes: game on, it's time to have fun! She posed, I snapped (photographs!), we laughed.
11:00am at Point Grace, Turks & Caicos: the sun is hot and shining, and my sexy couple is ready to raise the temperature a little more. Passion, fun, romance, connection - Rhea and Rob have it all. Most portrait photographers avoid the direct sun, but when light and shadows are used in the right way, the results are vibrant, colourful and simply amazing. Check it out:
Am I an expert pet photographer? I'm afraid not. But when Ingrid and Wolfgang contacted me to photograph their beautiful old english sheepdogs I immediately got excited about it. Kids move, run and often don't listen, so I was ready to take the dog challenge ;-) Milan Kundera wrote: “Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.â€
"Destination 2015 - Turks & Caicos Islands" is ready and it looks absolutely stunning! Silk black cover, smooth velvety pages, a touch of gold and a collection of amazing pictures by the best local photographers. The editors, Claire Parrish and Kathy Borsuk, introduced a new concept, design and style for the latest coffee-table book. A gift to keep, share and treasure forever. Following you will find the "behind the scenes" of my favourite photograph: the SHOPPING chapter, featuring TCI 2014 Top Model Brielle Swann.
