RAY OF LIGHT
Ray of light is one of my favorite projects. I shot it in between March and June of 2009, in London, taking just the part of the city I love most: the life spent at the park, with those long windy sundays. It is intended to "capture life under its sky", framing Londoners where they feel the most free.
These scenes were shot in Hampstead Heat and Primrose Hill, two beautiful and inspiring areas in north London, just above Rengent's Park. With its light shades, this project contrasts with another one I shot at nights and showing the dark, fake, side of the same city.

Digital Shots - Everyday life
© Francesco MancusiOne of the sources of inspiration to this post is the italian photo-reporter Francesco Nonino, and particularly to his work named "athmospheres", which was released in September 2005. Francesco Nonino was born in Udine in 1960. During his career he had the chance to work with world-famous artists such as Annie Leibovitz and his photographs are exhibited in Rome, New York and Paris and, at the moment, also at the 54° Venice Biennal at the Italian pavillon.
During the development of this project, however, I have also taken inspiration from another artist: the anglo-jamaican writer Zadie Smith Born in 1975 in London. The way she describes London in her books, expecially "white teeth", is simply faboulous. here's a description of Hemptead Heat she wrote in "on beauty".
"[Hampstead Heath] has a shade of green for every possible felicitation of light; that paints itself in russets and ambers in the autumn, canary-yellow in the splashy spring; with tickling bush grass to hide teenage lovers and joint smokers, broad oaks for brave men to kiss against,...Hampstead Heath! Glory of London! Where Keats walked and Jarman fucked, where Orwell exercised his weakened lungs and Constable never failed to find something holy." - Zadie Smith
