”Trasparenze nr. 1”

This is a Blog dedicated to my photography, to be more precise my ”Still Life Photography”, done with film cameras, that I love to name ”Classic Cameras” like Rolleiflexe, Leica, Hasselblad…..then printed in the dark room with the classic, traditional way of printing. I am not, absolutely, against digital photography. I use very often my digital camera but for other type of photos, for other purposes and in different situations than my studio that I love to share between two big passions of mine: painting and photography.  The reason why I have decided to focalize my attention and efforts in photography toward Still Life compositions is very simple, I do love still life, working with objects of different material, shapes, textures, to play with light, how light plays over these objects, natural light the only one I use, a side light from a big window in my studio, sometimes I use reflectors.

These photos have the only purpose to be ”decorative”, no messages, no hidden symbols nothing to think about…..only the aim to produce a pleasant image to look and eventually to use to decorate our houses. I am time by time inspired by a certain type of objects, or material for example I like to work with glass objects a portfolio named ”Trasparenze” is dedicated to compositions done with different type of glass object with different type of textures and sizes. The first photo I have posted to open my Blog, and named ”Trasparenze nr. 1” is done using small ”Vodka” glasses, very common objects indeed all of us have at home….Another portfolio is composed by photos of sheashells, only seashells or combined with other objects, mostly oriental porcelain or something exotique. Then one of the most recent portfolio is dedicated to iron lamps from Morocco, I love very much Oriental art and a big group of my still life compositions has a strong Oriental look, they suit very nicely with etnic furnitures, with an etnic style-decor. But I do believe images will explain better than too much words what is the spirit of my photos, STILL and STILL is name name give to the whole project, I enjoy so much to make this type of photos, working with film is challenging, working in ”black and white” is not so easy but I do believe black and white photography has a timeless elegance and fascination. WELCOME in my photographic world, hope you will enjoy reading and…..seeing….!
