BEAUTIFUL! I photographed this lovely couple (Ella and Mario) in the piazza; Ella left France when she was young to be with her husband here in Italy. On the morning I was taking photos outside her home at 7am, she greeted me in French. Her homeland is still close to her heart..

Photographer & Founder

I'm an English photographer who for nearly ten years, lived in a quaint medieval village in the hills of Tuscany, Italy. Almost every day I found myself lost in the magnificent landscapes and stunning architecture of these ancient settlements. My aim is to portray this beauty through my images and books, in hope of transporting those browsing to a more peaceful and tranquil place.
