Have you ever tried to tell a story?

Do you feel romantic?

Probably boring for the most of people, but not for someone that still believes it’s a magic moment to feel all alone.

Self portrait. Just to put a face behind this blog. I'd like to do more portraits of me or other people because it's a (well known) way to discover people and ourselves.

At the end of a tunnel you finally see the light. #light #road #suicidephoto

Photographic exercise. I always loved f64 Group, especially Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham pics. It's all about shapes, black and white, sensuality.

The Sublimity of Negative Spaces

Sometimes, the good photographs don’t need a lot of elements going on inside four frames. Here are some minimalist images from the community to relax you.

This is a blog I truly like. Lomography sets you in the past or in a place with dense atmosphere. The blog is well cured, well written, and aestetically pleasant. It is satisfying to see really good photos every time I log in, in a world where photos are overused and analogic cameras can still teach us something about effects, composition, and heart.

Symbiosis.

I made this project in the first year of the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, Italy. This was for the exam of photography. These two brave models are very close to me - one is a great friend and the other is my brother. They helped me even if they had to stay naked in a cold September session!

I remember it took a whole day to set the painting on their body (one day shooting for each one of them), and that I felt stressed and crazy after taking photos, fearing that light would be insufficient in the afternoon (I was painting since early that morning). The final result was great and gave me satisfaction - but it also teached me that it’s much better to collaborate, find other artists to join, and absolutely have an assistant!

I decided to place here some of my works, from photography to body painting to many other pieces. Aaaand this is my first post... So why not start with photography, showing some beautiful Iris flowers?Damn if I love them... They’re so complicated, just like me.

proflowers.com tells some about the Iris as a very significant plant. Here’s a short description from their website:  Through its intricate history, the meanings of the iris has come to include faith, hope, and wisdom. Depending on factors such as color and region, irises may bear additional meanings as well. In some parts of the world, the dark blue or purple iris can denote royalty, whereas the yellow iris can be a symbol of passion. Irises may also express courage and admiration. The many meanings of the iris makes the flower a great choice for an array of gift giving occasions: corporate, sympathy, get well, just because, and birthday are just some of the occasions for which irises might be the perfect choice.
