Italy is a country synonymous with style and beauty in all aspects of life: the rich history of Rome, Renaissance art of Florence, graceful canals of Venice, high fashion of Milan, signature pasta alla bolognese of Bologna, colorful architecture of Portofino and winking blue waters of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, among many others. Italians themselves live effortlessly amid all this splendor, knowing instinctively just the type of outfit to throw on, design element to balance, or delectable ingredient to add. Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla, sensitive and often nostalgic lovers of their home country, take readers on a tour of an Italian’s Italy, off the main roads traversed by tourists and onto hidden side streets or off the grid altogether, to corners lesser known but filled to bursting with the quintessential details that define timeless Italian style. See the Sassi cave dwellings etched into the mountainside of Matera; admire the red-orange walls characteristic of the Emilia-Romagna region; and examine the carved birds at Sorrento’s Grand Hotel Ambasciatori, so lifelike they might fly off the page. Reina and Ferolla invite readers to discover the special moments and places that reveal an intimate portrait of one of the world’s most treasured destinations, and Ferolla’s classical illustrations add another level of personality to the journey.

Ebony Davis No. 1 Ebony Davis photographed in New York, 2016. This image was published in Imagista Magazine.  Paul Westlake "I was born in England and I started my career as a professional photographer in 1985 in Sydney, Australia entering the field of fashion and beauty. In 1996 I moved to New York where I now reside. During this time I have been honored to work for such prestigious publications as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Grazia & GQ. I often say that a photograph can be like a postcard from a dream and I am truly enthralled by the process of capturing such moments on film. In my personal work I tend to favor black and white film because it suggests the visual landscape of dream. Ultimately what I am looking for when I take a photograph is connection with the subject, this allows a suggestion of intimacy and something deeper can shine through. A magical hidden dreamlike narrative. I still love photography today as much as the day I first pressed the shutter of my old Zeis Ikon camera."  “Paul Westlake’s clarity of vision guides his every image. There is a reverence for the organic in his work that permeates each composition - skin and fabric are shown as both visual and tactile, and the body is explored as shape and form. His work draws on a multitude of influences - from film and fashion histories - to create subtle, cinematic moments that suggest hidden narratives.  Photography’s emotional pull plays an equally significant part in Westlake’s appeal to the senses. He approaches his subjects with delicacy, allowing their feelings, as well as his own to guide the image’s formation. The connection between photographer and sitter is evident in his photography’s intimacy, its careful composition and the way he illuminates every scene, frequently cropping close to draw the viewer into the dreamscape he has created."  - Dr Rebecca Arnold, The Courtauld Institute of Art, London Archival Digital Print  Limited Edition  Hand signed and numbered by the photographer

Some days, you can’t help but feel that the universe not only works in mysterious ways but also has a great sense of humor. Believing that people will act a certain way or signs will commit to what they are saying, you often don’t expect they’ll do the exact opposite. And that’s what makes it so ludicrous.
