I’m Retiring PoTM

Dario Solera — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Yesterday, on a whim, I decided to put an end to my Print of The Month series. It started as an experiment – something fun and structured – but over time it slowly became more of a chore than a creative spark. And, if I’m being honest, it didn’t bring much visibility or financial return […]

PoTM: Quiet Neighborhood

Dario Solera — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Autumn has arrived in full force – at least here, where I’m writing from – and it stirred a memory I’ve been meaning to share: a new print from last year’s fall in Shetland. Shetland still lives quietly in my heart. I remember how the light shifted by the minute near Meal Beach. The wind […]

PoTM: There, Nowhere

Dario Solera — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Unlike most times, I actually had to wait quite a while to get this shot when I was in London, UK some time ago. I could see the potential – it had all the ingredients for a great photo – but I was missing one key element: a willing subject or two. Just when I […]

PoTM: Steel, Power, Fields

Dario Solera — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 08:30:00 +0000

Another classic case of “stop the car now and take the shot.” I took this photograph in the Lomellina region of northern Italy. What caught my eye was the striking contrast – the vibrant green rice fields, the soft orange-pink sky, and the stark lines of the power structures stretching into the distance. This kind […]

PoTM: Milan Skyline

Dario Solera — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Sunsets.We all love them – right? If you don’t love a good sunset, then this photo probably isn’t for you. And, well… you might be a little weird. Anyway – sunsets!This particular one captures the sleek skyline around Piazza Gae Aulenti and Porta Garibaldi in Milan, Italy. I shot it from exactly 6.44 km away, […]

PoTM: Ethereal Moments

Dario Solera — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

This photograph is one of those rare instances when a fleeting scene demanded to be captured – shot from the roadside, fully aware that I’d never see it quite the same way again. Ethereal Moments leans into a darker, more introspective mood, yet at its heart, it reflects the quiet serenity of untouched nature. There’s […]

PoTM: Essence of Shetland

Dario Solera — Mon, 05 May 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Here’s another one from Shetland – this place just never leaves my mind. And honestly, how adorable are Shetland sheep? Even under a moody sky, the scene feels vibrant and full of life. There’s a calmness to it that brings me a deep sense of peace. As always, you can find this photo available as […]

PoTM: Lighthouse, Light Patches

Dario Solera — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Because Shetland never ceases to amaze with its unforgettable views, here is a print of a photograph of Bressay Lighthouse, seen from Lerwick. This is one of those photographs that has grown on me over time – the more I look at it, the more I love it. The light is simply epic, and the […]

PoTM: Red Remnants

Dario Solera — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 10:30:00 +0000

This solitary, weathered red telephone box caught my eye as we drove through Shetland. I hesitated, didn’t stop – and instantly regretted it. Some scenes simply demand to be captured, and this was one of them. It had all the right elements: a minimalist composition, a striking subject, and an atmospheric backdrop that added to […]

PoTM: Simply Eshaness

Dario Solera — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Of course, this had to be an image from Shetland – arguably the most breathtaking of them all. Visiting Eshaness moved me to tears. The raw beauty, the relentless wind, the sheer power of the waves – all of it combined into an experience that was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Once I regained my composure, […]
