BRETT LLOYD: NAPOLI NAPOLI NAPOLI

Navigating a summer's day of Naples beach culture, from fisherman to frolicking youthsUpon visiting Naples for the first time in 2010, London-based photographer Brett Lloyd (born 1984) immediately fell in love with its people and coastline. In Napoli Napoli Napoli, conceived over four consecutive summers, Lloyd charts the course of a single day in Neapolitan life. Taking daily trips from Santa Lucia through to Marechiaro, he presents a stunning document of local life down by the water.The book starts out early in the morning at sea, capturing the fishermen who welcome the day with their fresh catch. They're quickly followed by the morning's first bathers as they head toward their cherished rocks facing Mount Vesuvius. Then, as the day goes on, Lloyd portrays Neapolitan youth enjoying the full heat of the sun. Eventually, in the afternoon, we reach a sense of calm with the long shadows reclaiming their spots along the shoreline.In Lloyd's photographs, even when they depict buildings or geological formations, there is throughout a trace of the charmed conditions in which they were made.
