It’s just a game of shadows and lights

The second roll of film came back yesterday evening, just hours after I dropped it for the development.
This time I am extremely happy of my photos: I have a staggering number of 13 photos (on 36) I have shortlisted to be published. Moreover the vast majority of them are straight out of the camera (SOOC), [...]

Number Zero

I do not know his name. This guy was sitting on one of the first step of the fountain in Piccadilly Circus and he was placid. I do not know if he was waiting for someone or if he was just spending some time relaxing, but I know something for sure: he is “Number Zero“. [...]

What do you mean with “what killer look”?

When I took this shot I aimed to the girl and the guy in foreground but when I saw it on my screen they were not the first thing that attracted my attention.
When I turned the computer towards Fabiana, she told me: “Wow, what a look!” And I knew she was not talking about them [...]

The warm latin blood

In this years I have been living in London I have found something I was deeply looking for: a different mentality from the one I ran away from.
England shown me many good sides and some bad ones and amongst the latter is that the “blood” is not so warm. Connecting with English people is not [...]

Blessed by the Sun

When you have something is huge quantity you do not usually realize the importance of that thing. In London for example I do not think people realize how important clouds are. On the contrary they realize perfectly that when the sun shines, the day is perfect for going out.
The other day it was not a [...]

These youngsters nowadays…

When Fabiana watched this photo, she had the same reaction I had: “Was she annoyed with some youngster?“.
Elderly people have different values from youngsters, therefore there will always be a generational clash. When I was young my behaviors were not good either, and I suspect that when I will be old…
In this shot I immediately [...]

The Deep Eyes of the Faith

He definitely stand out from the crowd. It was not only the way he walked or the way he kept his hands in the pockets nor even the way he help his backpack on one shoulder. It was all these things alltogether and much more.
The pendant on his neck was hanging out, showing a Faith [...]

Carnaby Explanations

Sunday Fabiana and I went to the Regent Street Festival with Petros. First of all I would like to thank him for the good day spent together shooting, it has been very nice spending time with him. I do not really know what the festival was about, but it was a perfect excuse to find [...]

The long gaze into the abyss

“If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.“
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
I know the story behind this shot, so I cannot really understand the general feeling this photo can give. What would you say was going on between these two women?
I know they were merrily chatting along the South Bank, [...]

Sweet September

He was holding her gently in a sweet afternoon of September. They were watching the Thames from the South Bank, lost in their thoughts, in their dreams. When I saw them I moved in front of them, trying to get a good perspective, but then I realized that that perspective was not what hit me [...]
