Whenever I think of Italy my thoughts stray immediately to Badia di Orvieto. It´s a magical place in Umbria where the Styling Pilgrimage with Pearl & Godiva took place this April. We spent three amazing and inspiring days full of magic, mysticism and wonderful moments. The ladies of Pearl & Godiva gathered the most beautiful dresses and accessories from all over the world and planned two exciting shooting days with Erich McVey, to let every film photographer´s heart skip a beat.

For me it was the perfect chance to reload my creative batteries and to fill them with new input. I learned about new perspectives within the creative process and how to find the right light to shoot. I´m thankful and happy I took this chance and can´t wait to share some of my personal favorites from day two with you.

Thanks a lot to Susanne for publishing my photos and the great article, to Pearl and Sheena for some marvelous days and to Erich & Amy McVey for their heartiness and patience while answering all my questions.

Love,
Melanie
