This photograph was captured in a back room of a farm-to-table restaurant in Tuscany, Italy. I was drawn to the contrasts within the space — the warmth of the aged photographs, the stark silhouette of a black chair against a white wall, and the bold red vertical stripes. The scene felt both architectural and painterly, balancing rustic textures with clean geometry. By framing the room simply and letting color and structure lead, the image blends old and new, evoking an understated Italian elegance that feels timeless yet contemporary.
