I think the most beautiful photographs happen when you stop trying to create a moment and simply give it space to happen.

A little movement.
A little wind.
A glance that lasts longer than expected.
The kind of light that changes everything without asking for attention.

For me, photographing a couple is never just about how a place looks.

It is also about intention and presence.

Sometimes it means taking them away from everything familiar, guiding them into a place far from the usual tourist routes, where there is no audience, no distractions, and the landscape feels like it belongs only to them in that exact moment.

It is about noticing how two people move through it together.

How they laugh.
How they reach for each other.
How they become part of the landscape without even trying.

And then, somewhere in between, the story appears.

Back to Watamu ♥️

A place I have returned for almost 20 years, yet one that still manages to surprise me every time.
This journey feels a little different.
I am here with new eyes, new ideas and a project that has been tacking shape from afar.
Lights, colors, familiar roads but also new details.
That feeling of being exactly where I am meant to be.

There are some places where light, wind and waves meet together and naturally create a joyful and intimate atmosphere.
That kind of atmosphere you can also feel in the pictures.
This is the reason why it’s sooo nice to stay on the beach 🌊

People often ask me why Watamu.
The truth is that it’s hard to explain.

It’s the way the tides change the landscape every day.�The slow rhythm of life.�The feeling that time stretches a little further here.

I’ve visited many beautiful places over the years, but very few have stayed with me the way Watamu has.
For almost twenty years, I’ve kept coming back.
And little by little, this place became part of my story.
That’s why this project was born here.
Not because it’s perfect, but because it feels like home.

Hi, I'm Ale!
I'm an Italian photographer and storyteller, and for almost 20 years Watamu has been one of the places I return to again and again.
What started as a family holiday destination slowly became something much deeper. A place that taught me to slow down, to observe, and to appreciate the beauty of simple moments. A place where I also found friendship, love, and a sense of belonging.
In 2016 I began telling stories through photography and film, working with couples and documenting meaningful experiences.
Over the years, a question kept coming back to me: What if I could bring these two parts of my life together?
This project is the answer.
A space where photography, storytelling and carefully curated experiences meet in a place that feels like a second home.
If you're dreaming of something intimate, meaningful and connected to nature, I'm happy you're here.
Welcome to Watamu. 🤍 Karibu!
