I had a few weeks at home with the baby, and with my mother-in-law flying over and helping out, there was an opportunity to get a work trip in.

Villa Plus flew me out to Puglia, Southern Italy for two weeks and commissioned me to shoot a number of villas and some local destinations.

An area I’d never been to before and not heard too much about but a really beautiful part of the country.

Quite early in the season so a few of the resorts weren’t quite in full swing and the weather wasn’t being nice for the most part with torrential rain for many of the days.

That aside, the sun did appear at crucial times and I managed to capture everything on the brief and everyone seemed very happy.
