Amalfitana reimagines the familiar beaches, umbrellas, and sun-soaked vistas of the Amalfi Coast through the unique medium of infrared photography.

This technique transforms the landscape’s classic beauty, replacing traditional blues and bright summer hues with deep reds, warm earth tones, and nostalgic contrasts.

The result is a series of images that evoke the feeling of vintage postcards and faded memories, offering a fresh perspective on this beloved destination.

Fitzgerald describes her work as an exploration of “light, memory, and place,” emphasising the emotional essence of the Amalfi Coast.

“Infrared photography allows me to reveal a hidden spectrum of light, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels both familiar and otherworldly. Through these images, I hope to inspire viewers to see iconic beach scenes in a new and contemplative way.”

What to Expect

Visitors to “Amalfitana” will be immersed in:
A Unique Perspective: Infrared photography that transforms iconic summer scenes into warm, red-toned dreamscapes.

Nostalgic Charm: Each image captures the timeless beauty of the Amalfi Coast, blending modern technique with vintage allure.

Unforgettable Moments: A collection of quiet, contemplative scenes that invite viewers to connect emotionally with the landscape.

The event will run until 15 March at Liminal Gallery on Ryrie Street, Geelong with pieces available to purchase.
