The Round Peg
Finally we did it, we published our portfolio website! It took Fabiana and me a while to find the right domain name and then I decided to build from scratch the minimalistic design you can see over there. The release, yesterday, have been a success and from today we will return to work to fix all the contents after the many comments and honest critiques we received: if you have any, please feel free to send them to me! Next step will be the creation of a theme for the blog and put it online!
Today’s photo is about a great experience we had few weeks ago, shooting some models in the heart of London at nighttime. It has been really fun. Producing a shot like this one may be quite difficult: gather a team of 11 people, make them work together in the middle of a crowd is something intense. But result are intense as well.
Jumping in the water
What would you say to a colleague asking you:
“Would you like me jumping in that pool of water?”
I mean, honestly, is there anyone around ready to say no to such question? If there is, I am not one of those! Instead, when I was asked the same question, yesterday at lunchtime, I just smiles, preparing my camera, with a simple “Of course!”
I would have appreciated one or two attempt more, just to be sure with the lighting, just to be confirm that the framing was the one I really wanted, but I had no time and I just got two frames. Enough! Next time I will ask for a “dry run” before the real jump, just to understand where my subject will be once in the air and where he will land, in order to maximise the result, nevertheless I like this “splash” a lot. It was just an honest game played in a matter of seconds, and I am happy I have been able to capture it.
Those Big Fashion Glasses
Lately I shocked myself and Fabiana saying that I quite like those huge black glasses so trendy in these days. Yes, I know it is very strange said from someone like me, but in the end I see them as part of a culture that will last few months and that will be replaced by something else even more strange. Those sort of huge black things(!) do not suit everyone, maybe just few of the wearer were ok with them, but my vision is that they create a huge contrast with the today’s idea of fashion. Yes, because in the end it is all about fashion, isn’t it?
A colleague of mine told me yesterday that he was shocked by the fact that French and Italians tend to dress better than English in many occasions. He underlined the fact that just to go to a club, in Paris and Milan everyone is perfectly dressed, while in London the culture is completely different. I would say that, generally speaking, he is right where the “generally” avoids to keep into consideration the clubs in London where fashion is the main theme. Italians and French live much more of appearance than British people do. It is always “Dress to Impress” and too many times that is more important than simply being and the interest of a person is defined by his/her clothes and not his/her ideas.
The huge black glasses fall in the category of the “dress to impress”, nothing excessive, just that detail that, deviating from the logic of yesterday’s fashion, creates an interesting shape in the faces of the wearers. Moreover, they are so huge that they allow a good vision of the eyes, enhancing them in some faces!
Do you love or do you hate them?
