More Than a Photoshoot at Figure Eight Pools
August 06, 2026 · Amedeo Pennacchi
Some of my favourite memories with A.M.E. were never carefully planned.
This was one of them: walking to the Figure Eight Pools with Alejandro, Chema and my best friend Rain, carrying a camera, a few shirts and no real idea of how the day would unfold.
Ale and Chema wore the Byron and Paris shirts while Rain moved around us, capturing photographs between swims, conversations and plenty of laughter. It never really felt like a photoshoot. It was simply a group of friends enjoying a beautiful place and helping me bring a small dream to life.
Looking back, the photographs mean more to me because of the people behind them. They remind me that A.M.E. has grown through friendship, generosity and those who believed in it before there was any certainty of where it might go.
That day, the shirts became part of a memory and that is exactly what I always hoped they would do.
