Photographs from the road

Every frame here was taken on a trip I wrote about. No stock, no borrowed images — just what the light was doing when I was standing there.

Italy — May 2025

Two weeks across Italy, beginning in Rome. Arrival evening, then a single day walking from Prati to the Spanish Steps. Shot on the day, in the order they happened.

The markets, the alleys and the neighbourhood places I go to when nobody is visiting. Being photographed now.
