Had a lot of fun picking up the camera again and getting into the flow of being a photographer for this test shoot.
Big Thanks!!! - @ruggero.alexander for being a top tier muse. & @joeterrylenny for helping me hoist my trolley full of equipment through the crowds of Central London.
Davide.
Back in the days when we just lazed around, enjoying the heat of the Sun and the cool sea breeze coming in through the balcony. Passing the time at your house, going for walks with pitstops per un caffè.
Thanks for sitting in and practicing your Tuba for my lighting test. Now also one of my favourite series of photographs to look back on. I look forward to the next time I can come back to Reggio to visit you and the others!
For now I know I want to be pushing forward, making content and sharing experiences, so that I can feel as content with myself and my creativity, as this series allows me to feel.
Following on from the Infiorata Di Noto Festival. The young group of artists orchestrated a walk through the bustling city en route to the awards ceremony, as a way to exhibit their fashion designs.
Here is a selection of images, mostly of the beautiful and strikingly handsome @marco_labate89 , being an amazing model and putting passion into everything he does!
I think a lesson I can take away from this relevant to the current period is to always act on your instincts and make things happen from the heart. Regardless of the circumstances, there's only so much you can do with thinking, learning and planning, and at the end of the day action speaks louder than words!

Set 02. Infiorata Di Noto 2017
One of my best experiences with this young group of Artists was being openly accepted to take part in this project, as well as to document it through my photography.
They started in the early hours of the morning working coherently in structured teams. Working through the golden Sicilian heat in the day, and well into the warm candlesque night of the following morning. All for the cause of constructing @jenifher_art 's mural with an assortment of fresh flower petals, buds and soil. To be exhibited alongside others in the crowded streets of Infiorata Di Noto.
The more wholesome part was how we all spent the time in between; sourcing from local shops to sit around a table and cook, eat and drink together like a large family.
Set 01. Infiorata Di Noto 2017
Taking the time over lockdown to revisit my portfolio and narrow down on the direction I want to be taking my future work in.
Starting with this amazing festival, during my life changing Erasmus experience studying at Accademia Di Belle Arti, Reggio Calabria. Spent with some of the best people I've been lucky enough to know and still have in my life.
