The place

Sicily

Baroque towns, Greek temples and Mount Etna above the sea — the Mediterranean’s largest island, with a long warm season.

July works here with a little planning.

The light

How the light falls there

Southern light is strong and clear, and the baroque stone glows gold in the evening. The east coast faces the sunrise over the Ionian, with Etna behind; the west coast has the sunsets into the sea. Midsummer middays are hard — portraits belong to the first and last hours.
