Yoru in Analogue: three perspectives on light, summer, and the everyday

There is a light that defines summer. A light that lingers late into the evening, transforms outdoor spaces, and accompanies everyday moments with an intensity that is hard to find at any other time of year. It is precisely this relationship between natural light, summer, and outdoor living that inspires Yoru in analogue, a campaign by Arkoslight featuring three photographers: Isabel Rovira, Silvia Villar, and Carlos Segura.

Three ways of seeing summer

Through their distinct perspectives, the campaign captures Yoru in real, spontaneous, and warm settings, far removed from overly staged environments. Three different approaches that share the same idea: the best light is not always the one that transforms a scene, but the one that knows how to accompany it.

Light as a guide, by Isabel Rovira

Analogue photography introduces a dimension that is closely connected to this exploration. Time, waiting, and the ability to observe before pressing the shutter are all part of a process that naturally aligns with the philosophy behind Yoru in Analogue.

For Isabel Rovira, summer means longer, more generous light, capable of doing much of the photographic work itself. Her gaze seeks out imperfection and the everyday: dust, shadows, disorder, and all those details that allow a scene to retain its authentic character.

Her approach to photography changes with the season. Rather than controlling the light, she lets herself be guided by it, looking for those moments when natural illumination is at its most expressive: dawn, dusk, or the low-angle light streaming through a window.

In this context, Yoru represents, for Isabel, a natural extension of the day: a warm, understated light that appears as natural light begins to fade, without competing with it. As if sunset could linger just a little longer.

“Summer changes the way I perceive and photograph because I go from controlling the light to letting myself be guided by it.”

Summer as a way of life, by Silvia Villar

Silvia Villar’s approach is more spontaneous and full of life. For her, summer is defined by light, but also by everything that happens around it: the sea, colour, spontaneous plans, people and, of course, something to eat.

Her response sums up a deeply everyday view of summer: a summer scene feels authentic when it contains the things that actually happen during summer.

Yoru becomes part of this narrative as a companion to the blue hour. Its light does not seek to compete with the sky’s final glow, but rather to complement it and accompany the transition from day to night. Then, when the blue fades away, it continues to illuminate the scene, making it possible to extend a dinner, a conversation, or any outdoor plan.

In this case, Yoru’s portability is an essential part of the experience: a light that can accompany you wherever summer happens.

“Summer is light and, with or without the clock’s permission, it is the light that sets the rhythm of my routines this time of year.”

Letting the light lead, by Carlos Segura

For Carlos Segura, the relationship between summer and light has a deeper dimension: an ancestral fascination with the light of summer and with that sense of warmth that still shapes the way we connect with our surroundings.

His photography is particularly drawn to sunrise and sunset, fleeting moments when the light is constantly changing. Photographing during these hours means accepting their limitations and turning the process into a kind of ritual, where shadows add depth and drama to organic, natural images characterised by a distinctive amber hue.

From this perspective, Yoru is associated with other moments of the day: calm, retreat, and rest. Its warm light and portable nature make it easy to incorporate into moments of pause, from reading at sunset to an outdoor conversation.

Arkoslight’s portable luminaire thus becomes a natural part of the story. It is there as the sun goes down, during the blue hour, over dinner, or while reading. It does not seek to replace natural light, but to accompany it and extend the experience as the day begins to fade.
