Backstage shot during the make-up

Dawn of a new day

Date: 7-12-2008

Location: Abandoned factory near Milan

Equipment used: Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24mm, Manfrotto tripod.

Same exploration of the previous post, this shot is perfect to show the atmosphere and the vastity of the place.

A bit of a haze can be seen in the distance, in my opinion that gave to the shot a more dramatic appearance, the perspective and the wideangle did the rest.

Hope you like it.

Hidden beauty

I found extreme beauty in that place, hope you can appreciate it … the weather was fine, the scenography perfect, with the light filtering through the ceiling and the nature growing again.

Painted with shadows

Model: Beatrice

Equipment used: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-135mm, natural light

Same session of the previous post, but this is a more emotive portrait in my opinion … the shot is how it comes out from the camera, only converted it in b&w.

It has been a long time since I last met her … I miss her and the funny shootings we had.

This shot is taken from the last session before I left my city for Milan; initially I didn't like this, but now I think her expression and her eyes are incredible. Enjoy
