"black it’s a color in itself, which sums up and consumes all the others" Henry Matisse
Stories made up of “shots”, “pictures”, “images”, which are photographs.
As Luigi Ghirri said: “Photography then becomes for me and for others the language to discover, know, represent, understand reality, without paralyzing aesthetic-formal obsessions, because no world is to be hidden or removed.”
A desire to understand and to share a personal vision of the reality, in a research for “beauty” stripped of a “superficiality” dear to Oscar Wilde: “Only superficial people don't judge by appearances”.
