Photographer: Giovanni Simeone
DESCRIPTION
A wide Pacific-coast beach at Todos Santos stretches under an open sky, where soft beige sand meets rolling surf and deep blue waters. Rugged cliffs and gentle coastal hills frame the shoreline, while swaying palms and desert-oasis vegetation hint at the region’s unique blend of arid landscape and ocean breeze. The scene evokes a wild serenity — waves crash onshore, seabirds glide overhead, and the horizon merges sea and sky, inviting both calm reflection and adventurous exploration in a place where nature feels vast, raw and timeless.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Giovanni Simeone Born in 1968 and the son of an artist, Giovanni Simeone studied photography in Milan, where he began contributing to Bell’Italia magazine from its very first issue. In the early 1990s, he moved to Germany to work for a photo agency, then spent nearly three years traveling the world before settling in Paris.
There, he started an exclusive collaboration with Le Figaro, producing more than fifty feature stories. During frequent trips back to Italy, he founded Simephoto (www.simephoto.com), a photography agency specializing in travel and landscape imagery. Thirty years later, Simephoto brings together around fifty of Europe’s top photographers and is recognized as a leading agency in the field.
Its portfolio includes clients such as National Geographic Traveler, Le Figaro, Outside, Geo Germany, Stern, la Repubblica, The Sunday Times and The Guardian, as well as major international publishers including Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and Fodor’s.
In 2011, Simephoto launched its own publishing house, Simebooks, with photography at the heart of every project. As an author, Giovanni Simeone has published Not Food for Old Men (2015) and Los Angeles Cocktails (2017). Forthcoming titles include Baja California Peninsula (as photo editor) and Los Angeles (2025).
Simebooks releases about a dozen new titles each year, with a strong focus on promoting local culture and landscapes through unique, original photographic campaigns.
