This, is less of a fashion shoot and more of a tribute to Italy, and its very soul.
This fashion shoot is a two-fold series designed so as to capture the two facets of Cetinale:
1. Heritage
2. Myth
The location of HBO series "Succession", Villa Cetinale is old world Italy at its most alluring. I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful muse in the interiors of the prestigious and majestic Villa Cetinale for the first portion of our session.
The natural splendor that surrounds Cetinale inspired the second portion of the shoot. The pathways of the olive grove are adorned with statues of Greek gods, saints, and mystical monsters. The true spirit of Cetinale can be felt in the seamless confluence of legend and nature, which creates a dreamy atmosphere vibrating with narrative intrigue, danger, and plenty of enjoyment.
