      A Time Capsule Through the Lens

      Photographer Christian Longi, with his trained eye for aesthetics and visual storytelling, saw this building as a time capsule. Its wallpapered walls with period prints, exposed beams, and century-old structure provided the perfect setting for a shoot that aimed to capture the interplay of light, texture, and human presence.

      Golden Hour Elegance

      The model, Amy Walker from New Zealand, blends seamlessly into the scene, her silhouette shaped by the gentle glow of the late afternoon—five o’clock in winter, when the sun casts golden hues and enhances the depth of the architectural details.

      Echoes of Time

      Each image is a dialogue between past and present, where reflections in the antique glass and the play of shadows on the wooden surfaces tell a quiet yet powerful story.

    DINING WITH STYLE

    Where there is light, there are shadows. Where there is transparency, there is interpretation. Light moves through space, just as fabric shifts with the body—revealing layers of meaning, depth, and texture.
    For this House of The Sea campaign, the historic location became more than a setting; it was part of the story. Worn wooden floors and delicate period prints framed the collection in quiet nostalgia, while the soft winter light cast moving shadows on linen—100% natural, raw yet refined—reflecting the brand’s ethos of timeless craftsmanship.
