ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This portrait is from a serie of pictures I realized last year for my family. Wy 70 years old uncles is having a rest after lunch. My uncle Emanuele, a very peaceful man, decided to pose with is hunter father's shotgun. This weapon which hasn't been used for years highlight ironic touch to this shot. My aunt Lucia seems tired. Her daily housewife work and support she offers to grow up her grandchildren tired her out.

AUTHOR
Born in the south of Italy, I studied cinema and journalism and then I moved to France where I began to work in video editing. I fell in love with photography the last 5 years realizing thousands of pictures of Paris, Rome and other city where I lived and visited for travel. I have changed my life to work full-time as a sport photographer. For my personal work I choose to shoot in black and white, digital or film, for the different meaning that lights and shadows give to the subjects. I work to mix my passion for cinema (specially Italian Neorealismo and French Realism) with my journalistic studies in order to create a personal street photgraphy style. My aim is to frame the world around me without any kind of judgment but full empathy with peolple's lives.
