The Mediterranean has always had a way of creating simple but memorable scenes, where the vast expanse of water becomes the main subject. During my time in Cinque Terre, I captured this moment from the balcony of my Airbnb, watching a single boat make its way across the sea.

With no distractions in the frame, the focus is entirely on the movement of the boat and the scale of the water surrounding it. The contrast between the small vessel and the endless blue of the Mediterranean creates a sense of calm and isolation, turning a simple moment into a much more atmospheric image.

Minimalism is a style of photography i really enjoy. There are no major landmarks or dramatic landscapes competing for attention, just a boat, the sea and a quiet moment along the Italian coast. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most understated scenes can create some of the strongest images.
