Overview | A perspective into a vision
A small glimpse of what my eye catches with the tools in my hand. I mostly keep a minimalist approach to my photography, in the sense that I don't try and transcript a vision that I might have, but rather catch moments of the moving environment around me. This is why my portfolio is mostly made up of outside photography.
Lately, I have been giving more structure to my composition and more preparation by dipping into portraits.
In Sicily, a little mount that caught my eye while visiting a small town by the coast. The three crosses here really put into evidence the principle of composition in photography. Religion has always had a prominent place in art. It has a strong link with death, a topic greatly democratized thanks to the various beliefs, which is for the best.
A couple which can be seen in a few of my photos. Because of my experience with architecture, my eye is immediately drawn to structurally drawn figures. However, more than a shape, it's a gaze, a conversation, an emotion that can be guessed. Letting the observer think and feel, without immediately guessing what's in the picture is something I enjoy conveying. It creates a conversation between me and the audience.
One of my favorite photos, this bird resting transpires what you want to see. A peaceful bird taking a nap, or an encaged species, who can never fully spread its wings to greater height. I myself don't know which I want to see, a beautiful moment of bliss, or a harsh reality of man's grasp upon what it set itself to control?
The two figures I managed to steal for a few milliseconds envelope a sensation of eeriness. The light behind their figure and the car next to me allowed me to have enough light and stability to take this picture without a tripod. This is what street photography is about to me: capturing the moment of a still landscape, in which there is a fluidity of figures and people.
