DESCRIPTION
Archeology shown that body painting preceded the oldest forms of wall painting, making the body the first "canvas" of primitive man. Although we know little of the motivations of these practices, they have been handed down up to present changing and evolving in the different cultures. For thousands of years, men and women, all over the world underwent changes in their bodies in order to feel more attractive, conform to the prevailing culture of their society or, more modernly, detach from it. The motivations behind the bodily modifications are the most varied; however, any person who modifies his body, consciously or unconsciously, modifies his relationship with himself and the world around him.

She so decide to start working in her home where she lives with her lover and other modified artist guys.All of them work in body modifications, all of them are heavily modified and are happy being so.
AUTHOR
My name’s Roberto Scordino and I’m a professional photographer born and based in Rome.
I started to photograph only at the end of 2015 but I have worked for a long time with multimedia projects working with multinational institutions and brands and have been a VJ starting in 1999 back to the times of vhs.
For years I have been interested in socio-anthropological research in the world of subcultures.
In the last years I studied photography, among others, with awards-winners photographers like Paolo Marchetti and I am graduated in the Masterclass held by Fausto Podavini and Giovanni Cocco.
I love most landscape photography and reportage as a way of storytelling.
Relatively new at photography I’m working very hard to master all aspect of it.
