This shot is a celebration of the sun and the joy. It was a warm italian sunny day and we found a crumbling door in an old italian park around Florence (Scrittoio del Capogiardiniere: "gardener's desk"). We could imagine an old man trying to find his last defence against the sun behind a simple wooden door while all the people were walking around the park. The popular russian model Anna Bogomazova gave me a big smile thinking about an old italian man looking at her while she was nude, posing and enjoying the sunlight. I had just an istant to capture this image.
I'm a freelance photographer based in Tuscany but working all round Italy. I have approached professional photography only in recent years and I travel all around Italy for my projects. Every shooting session is an opportunity to grow both as a photographer and as a person. I use to participate to international photocontests and I already had a lot of nominations and awards. I want to give my portraits a deep and knowable meaning "asking" my images to spread energy and emotions and sometimes denouncing what I see happening to our world.
