An editorial at Villa Claudia Dal Pozzo, Lake Maggiore
Editorial · June 2020

In one breath,
on the edge
of the lake

Villa Claudia Dal Pozzo · Lake Maggiore

June 2020, which is the whole point of it: the first shoot after months of nothing, made in a villa on Lake Maggiore with a red-haired bride, a gilded library, a pier and a lot of held breath. It was called In One Breath and the title was not a metaphor.

At the mantelpiece
The fire, lit in June
The gilded room
The bouquet
In the garden
The table, outside
The cake
The stationery

Plum, on a carpet

The villa,
and the water
in front of it

Him, on the stair
The shoes
In the mirror
The hair

The first
day back

Everything about this shoot was a decision to start again: a house that had been shut, a team that had not worked in months, and a lake that had been almost empty since February.

It shows in the pictures, which are stiller than a wedding and considerably less polite about it. Nobody was in a hurry to leave.
