A SEA OF STILLNESS

In addition to being an entrepreneur (Komono, Le Rub) and brand creator, Raf Maes is also a photographer and a devoted lover of Italy. During his travels along the coasts of Amalfi, Sicily, and other stunning corners of the peninsula, his Leica is always around his neck. What Maes’s eye perceives, he captures in a way that is uniquely his own: dreamlike, slightly mysterious, and framed to reveal not everything, but the essence. Light always plays the leading role. Over the years, Maes has built a loyal following and an Instagram audience of more than 18K followers. This beautiful photo book brings together his finest images. There is little text, though each location is identified in a separate section at the back, making the book not only a visual journey, but also a source of inspiration for your next trip to Italy.
