Notes

I called this image "The day after" and this is the personal story of my grandparents in Italy.
"It's the dawn of a new day.
It's a day that I've imagined for many years and I hoped wouldn’t come.
Our home spaces, from this moment, become only mine
and now I feel very small for this room.
Too much space remains.
I hope that the warmth of this wall last enough to keep me warm.
All I have left is inside this room.
The cold outside that window doesn’t concern me.
Nothing concerns me anymore, without you."

Sources of Inspiration and References

I think that light is the protagonist of my images and for this reason my inspirations and references are mainly art (specifically the painters who use light such as Caravaggio and William Turner), photography (Alex Webb, Luigi Ghirri, Franco Fontana), cinematography (Wes Anderson, Kubrick, Gondry) and the theory of color by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. I always try to create photorealistic images, capable of telling a story even only through the use of colors and light. I love the balances and contrasts that these two elements can create between them: together they can generate emotions and moods. The protagonists, when they are present, are alone: I try to tell their story in a precise moment of their life: for example, the old man who loses his wife, a garbage man who wakes up before everyone else.
