Sunday meant dressing up for church everything a bit too 

tight and shiny.Dressing up was for special occasions .

This work by Marco Ambrosi  involved visiting several churches with his portable studio and taking portraits of people in their best.  

There is almost an explosion of dignity and happiness here for displays of fashion for a joyful Sunday www.marcoambrosi.com
