ROME AND THE GULF OF NAPLES pays an autumn visit to the two iconic metropolises of southern Italy. Venerable Roma, city of empire as well as city of (catholic) god, humming with pilgrims of different sorts even in fall. And bella Napoli, picturesquely set beneath the shadows of Monte Vesuvio in the gulf of Naples, epitome for natural beauty, a culture characterized by immigration, and the most charming of Mediterranean laissez faire. ///// THE PHOTOGRAPHS were taken on a digital SLR camera, while technique followed a classic approach with predominant use of a 35mm prime lens (occasionally shorter focal lengths were employed) and maximum depth of field. All photographs show the full frame of the scene as recorded, with no cropping applied. ///// PORTFOLIO #3 // ROME AND THE GULF OF NAPLES is aimed at anyone interested in contemporary street-, travel- and/or reportage photography as well as all people attracted to the many charms of mediterranean Europe, Rome, and Naples.
