Backstage portfolio "The reader"

I made this portfolio in 2005, November, at Silvia's home.

I always loved the Silvia's flat: even if it is very small, it has ever inspired me. It is welcoming, intimate and for this reason I inserted a reading figure, relaxed; a common figure, but with something of unusual.

Silvia collaborated not only on giving me the opportunity to take pictures inside the flat, but also taking the backstage pictures you can find below.

As usually, Anna managed the make up of Carlo.

I met Carlo surfing Internet: he told me his wish to pose for one of my portfolio. We met in person, we discussed a bit and we found that there was an "artistic feeling" between us. So, when some time later, I proposed him to take part on this portfolio, he accepted with enthusiasm and trust.

When I imagined this portfolio I thought to involve in another model more than Carlo, but a few logistic difficulty didn't give me the opportunity to complete my idea. Anyway, I think the portfolio is fine so I decided to publish it. Perhaps in the future I'll organize another shooting session based on the original idea, even in a different location.

The pictures of "The reader" portofolio are available on the Polaroid gallery.
