The caldera light in late afternoon throws a clean white across Cycladic houses and paints the Aegean a deep, impatient blue. You arrive to a short briefing, the photographer checks angles while wind tugs at your hair and the island’s cliffs hold the horizon steady. The session feels like moving through a film set—tight alleys, blue domes, and cliff-edge overlooks that demand a steady step and a quick eye.
