I’ve recently joined Behance Network. Even if the set up it’s not really user friendly, I must say there is still fresh and hot material to get inspired. I wonder if and how they can check every single request to join. Anyway, I find it very useful to have access to awesome portfolio and search for quality inspiration. I would keep adding some works time to time, with more focus on typography. Here the artworks to start with.
I’ve recently been working on a name, a typeface for her and a new life. 
Been always upstairs and downstairs I’ve decided to make a typeface from an iPhone: yes! I’m making this font with my fingers (literally).
I just want to share the most creative moment of my life.
I will publish as soon I’ll finish the complete capital alphabet under Creative Commons with all the details and the making off.
Loving Greta.
Per Enzo Dal Verme “un ritratto non è una questione puramente estetica, per scattarlo occorre interrogare la realtà e lasciar nascere un’immagine che toccherà lo spettatore perché comunica una sensazione o uno stato d’animo”.
Everybody can do beautiful portraits, with a super cool camera and big names. What really impress me are Enzo’s stories behind the pictures. He brings the photograph to another level where there’s no more interest in lights, focus, deep field and the “behind the scene” becomes the main character.
Enzo Dal Verme exhibition opened Saturday the 5th of December 2009 at wave galley, Brescia. I took some iPhone pictures of his projected photographs over a wall with the words “divieto d’affissione” (post no bill) during the launch party. In another situation it could have looked like a testimonial campaign about removing prints advertising form public walls. Overall there was a friendly and warm atmosphere: of course, there were candles and a sheep!
I’ve recently joined a brand new team in Italy (Brescia), under a bigger organization called Project Group. They have expertise in consulting, human resources and professional training:
“Project Group nasce dalla voglia di creare un gruppo al servizio dello sviluppo e del miglioramento. Un gruppo di professionisti che lavora con impegno e passione per dare valore alle organizzazioni clienti.”
Actually I work in the web business unit of Project Group with the coolest guys around: Alessandro Mininno, Fabrizio Martire, David Saitta and Giorgio Mininno. Everyone has a different background and together we are trying to make a better web 2.0. Brand analyses, viral and buzz, social media marketing, creative commons, design communication and nerd talks are our daily agenda. We’re still warming up, but stay tuned because we getting ready to beat you in Street Fighter whilst developing your web marketing plan and re-design your corporate identity.72VHKB78DPYK
The best way to shoot Berlin is using a Leica camera, of course. During the last three years I went quite often to Berlin and every time I shared the coolest situation with my finger on the shutter (Digilux III, 50mm f 2.0 and 28-55mm f 2.8-3.5). Berlin is changing so fast that sometime I had the impression to discover new places just because a renovation or a demolition. You never get board to look around and the city excites your eyes constantly. I took thousands of pictures in the same places and I still haven’t enough. Your brain is always stimulated by the old-new sensation making you feel like a little explorer with his camera: you can’t miss a thing, even if you are walking back home again and again. Here a selection, and more on my flickr map.
A few weeks ago Joe from Photojojo emailed me asking if I was interested in testing a new product: the Eye-Fi card. Of course I accepted and got the gift in a week or so. The installation took me five minutes: just few steps Apple OS X set up and some online configurations (like automatic upload sharing and optional profile). huea4p5y23
What is it?
It’s a friendly orange card that stores up to 4GB worth of photos and videos – but also uploads files wirelessly to your computer and sharing sites like Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and more! The Explore and Pro cards will even geo-tag your shots invisibly and automatically (thanks to one free year’s worth of unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot access).
I decided to try it out during a three day “gipsy” wedding in Rovinj, Croatia. Sounds a bit crazy I know. But it was a real moving wedding from Friday to Sunday. It was the first wedding I’ve ever participated with a camera, plus wherever there was an hotspot available all my photos would be publish on my mobileMe account straight away. I had to think twice before shooting but at the same time don’t loose the “wedding moments”. After a couple of Croatian grappa around noon I just start shooting and having fun, completely forgetting rules technology and wireless. I must confess I had to delete a few pictures . Here my selection.
Thanks to Joe from Photojojo and thanks to Christiane and Dejan (husband and wife)
I’ve always loved Lisbon and I’ve decided to live there for a while and find out more about the city and Portugal. I spent eight month in the capital from October 2008 to June 2009. Awesome!
Lisbon has a very special light that seems to ask you shooting every time. Thanks to my local friend, colleague and guide Francisco Uhlfelder, I had the chance to be at the right places in the right moments. I took many pictures with different cameras, but the ones most reflect my Portuguese atmosphere were taken with an old lomo lc-a and positive films (FujiChrome Sensia, Velvia – also Kodak Ektachrome).
