naked memories (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The location of this photo shoot is still a very elegant historical house, the set is divided into two parts, between night and day, using artificial and harsh lighting for the first situation and natural and soft for the second, the idea was to create something intimate that had the characteristics of strength and delicacy at the same time. All photos were taken with a single lens, a 50 mm F 1.4. The model had never posed before, I was interested in her spontaneity and naturalness towards the lens and I think the atmosphere that was created allowed me to achieve this!
AUTHOR
Giuseppe Gradella has a profound belief in memories and dreams.
Conscious that everything is layered over time, in the heart, in memory and that, sooner or later, it finds a way back to the light, to unveil itself, he thinks of photography as holding your breath, just under the surface, for as long as your breath lasts, then re-emerging to observe the world from a different perspective, one that is more aware. In order for memory to speak to him, he arms himself with a lot of patience and an excellent bait that allows him to fish even where life's flow is perceptible only to the eye, like under a sheet of ice. Physical places and those that exist in memory, where life and dreams intertwine in a process of transfiguration and internal re-creation in which time is suspended.
In Gradella's photographs, which deal with fashion, architecture and fine art, there is a constant juxtaposition between what is actually in front of the camera and what he has retained from his experiences, in a continuous study that becomes introspective self-critique.
As he himself is fond of saying, "For me, photography arrived like a storm after months of drought, and I
