Tiago Marques and Tania de Pascalis (previously featured) immerse their audience in the ethereal atmosphere of Ostuni, a captivating Italian village, through their breathtaking photographic series, “Ostuni: The White Pearl”, Renowned for its dazzling white architecture, Ostuni stands as a splendid testament to Italy’s rich heritage and artistic tradition. The village’s elevated position on three hills in the Itria Valley allows its radiant structures to bask gloriously in the Mediterranean sunlight. This luminescent quality of Ostuni, earning it the nickname La Città Bianca, is masterfully captured by Marques and de Pascalis. Their exploration captures the village’s unique charm and architectural beauty, unveiling the harmony of light and structure that defines this charming locale.
For three days, Marques and de Pascalis journeyed through Ostuni, carefully observing and documenting its urban tapestry. By photographing the village at different times of the day, they succeeded in portraying how light interacts with the crisp, white facades. The images not only emphasize Ostuni’s visual grandeur but also encapsulate the underlying warmth and vibrancy pulsating through its sun-drenched streets. Their collection becomes more than just a showcase of Ostuni’s appearance; it transcends into a dialog with the past, depicting layers of color, culture, and history that have shaped this iconic piece of Italy. Each photograph is a window to Ostuni’s soul, a delicate fusion of brightness and heritage, reflecting its enduring allure.
