There is something undeniably nostalgic about the beaches of the Amalfi Coast, where bright umbrellas stand in neat rows, casting patterns across the sand, and the sea glistens in the afternoon light. An Italian Summer is a photographic series that captures this timeless scene, evoking the essence of vintage travel postcards. The colours are vibrant, yet softened by memory, creating images that feel both familiar and dreamlike.

The umbrellas serve as more than just a shield from the sun, they are symbols of ritual, repetition, and the universal experience of summer by the sea. Their orderly arrangements contrasts with the endless movement of the ocean, anchoring moments of leisure, conversation, and quiet reflection. Through a careful balance of composition, light, and colour, these photographs transport the viewer to a world where time slows, where summer feels infinite, and where the simple joy of a day at the beach is preserved like a treasured postcard from the past.
