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 […]

New Zine: Drops of Life / MMXXV

Dario Solera — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 13:00:50 +0000

Ah, that time of the (photographic) year is upon us again. The one I both love and dread in equal measure. I love the moment I get to hold a fresh copy of Drops of Life in my hands – that new-zine smell, those crispy pages, the satisfaction of something tangible. But getting there? That’s […]

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 […]

New Book: Moments In Travel / 2024

Dario Solera — Wed, 07 May 2025 13:30:00 +0000

Slightly later than usual, it’s finally that time of year again – the moment I release a book capturing the past twelve months in travel and photography. This edition is the longest yet, featuring 265 photographs from sixteen different trips. Among them, five unforgettable days in Shetland stand out as a personal highlight. But this […]

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 […]
