Hello!
I would like to share a few shots from a surprising and short shooting session.
I tried to focus on the model's friendly personality rather than his appearance. To avoid the viewers focus escaping from facial expression to his colorful head tattoos I decided to shoot in monochrome.
To show the person's creativity trait, I am inducing a busy background as a representation of open and active mind.
Having been through a lot, but maintaining the ability to laugh is a characteristic I associate with this person.
I tried to show that in the next photography by using the background pipe positioned on the sinister diagonal of the picture frame (representing the harsh life).
Sinister diagonal is the one viewers perceives as negative, "going down".
Perfect flow of this diagonal is being disrupted by the laughing character, who seems to be pushing it up, and bending it to his own will.
The man in the photographs is Dario. He is a musician and artist with vibrant, expressive, and creative personality.
It is almost impossible to find a spot of his home that is not decorated with his artworks. You can spend literally hours discovering new details. Have a peak:
I am always catching a chance to promote local artists, so in that case; If you are interested about knowing more about this artist, and wish to hear his music, check out this links:
