The Experience

The first thing I remember is the click of the camera echoing off the Colosseum before most tourists had even finished their coffee. Our photographer—Giulia, who somehow knew every shortcut and shady nook—waved us into this tiny alley near Oppio Caffè. I felt awkward at first (I always do in front of a lens), but she just grinned and told me to “walk like you’re late for gelato.” It worked. The air smelled faintly of espresso and something sweet from a bakery nearby, and for a second, I forgot there were people watching.

We wandered through those narrow Roman streets—one of them so quiet I could hear someone’s radio drifting down from an upstairs window. Giulia kept chatting about the city’s history, pointing out old stones in the Forum that looked almost soft in the morning light. She’d say things like, “This is where my grandfather used to play football,” which made everything feel less like a staged shoot and more like tagging along with an old friend who just happens to know how to get your good side. At Trevi Fountain (we went early—she said it’s chaos after 7am), she showed me how to toss a coin over my shoulder without looking too stiff. I probably still looked stiff, but we laughed anyway.

There was time for an outfit change (I ducked behind a column near the Pantheon—very glamorous) and then we finished up on the Spanish Steps. By then, I’d stopped worrying about posing or crowds or whether my hair was doing something weird. The whole thing took about an hour and a half, but honestly it felt shorter—maybe because Giulia kept making jokes about Roman pigeons being “the real locals.” When she sent over the edited photos two days later (way faster than I expected), I couldn’t believe how much of Rome’s energy came through. There’s one shot where you can see sunlight bouncing off the cobblestones—I keep coming back to that one.
