Pia Riverola’s Días draws you into a world of quiet beauty and small, powerful moments captured across the globe. Published by Loose Joints, this 144-pages book reads like a daydream through distant landscapes, from the bustling morning markets of Laos to the pink dawn light of Copacabana Beach. Riverola’s approach is grounded in her unique ability to evoke emotion through subtleties: soft-focus images, natural light, and the gentle blur of movement. The scenes are alive yet contemplative, almost as if you’re standing just out of frame, absorbing the mood of each setting.
In Días, Riverola crafts a narrative that feels both deeply personal and relatable, shifting away from the Mexico-centered focus of her previous book, Flechazo, to a more expansive exploration of time and place. The photos are arranged to echo the gradual rhythm of a day, guiding readers from serene, early hours to the golden warmth of evening. Whether it’s an open-air table under the Mediterranean sun, friends gathered in the mountains of Tepoztlán, or the haze of an Italian summer afternoon, each image reflects Riverola’s fascination with life’s small, unposed moments.
The book is as much about feeling as it is about seeing. Through her lens, each scene unfolds with an inviting intimacy, showing how routines and quiet encounters can reveal the soul of a place. Riverola’s photography captures not just visual beauty but a sense of nostalgia and presence that lingers long after closing the book. Días is available now through Loose Joints, alongside limited-edition prints, offering readers a chance to immerse themselves in Riverola’s world of tranquil and evocative scenes.
