publication · 2026-07-30

AnOther Magazine has curated five photography series from its archive that explore the sultry, nostalgic, and yearning aspects of summertime. The series include: Joanna Wzorek's 'Summer, Farewell', a zine shot in rural Poland post-lockdown featuring farmyard animals, flowers, friends, and spontaneous nudes; Brett Lloyd's 'Napoli, Napoli, Napoli', a 12-year documentation of Naples' subcultures including the femminielli of the Spanish Quarter; Pia Riverola's 'Días', a six-year collection of golden-hour moments from holidays and assignments; Sam Youkilis' 'Somewhere', a debut book of sun-drenched photographs from his base in Umbria; and José Cuevas' 'Canal Divers', capturing Parisians swimming in the Canal Saint-Martin during a heatwave. Each project offers a distinct perspective on summer's pleasures and melancholy.
