ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This mesmerizing portrait captures a young man's profile and his reflection in a mirror. The reflected image is brighter, representing the persona we present to the external world. In contrast, the true self remains shrouded in darker hues, subtly outlined with light. This symbolic representation embodies the complexity of human nature—the interplay between what we choose to reveal and what we keep hidden, reflecting our highs and lows, desires, and vulnerabilities. As the series unfolds, the viewer is taken on a journey through various poses and expressions, each revealing a different facet of the subject's personality and allure. From playful and seductive to contemplative and vulnerable, the photoshoot becomes an exploration of human complexity and emotion. All Limited Edition prints are hand-numbered and signed by the author. (Photograph featuring a handsome young man seen from one side and his own reflection in a mirror. Against black background)

Buongiorno! I am Stefano, a photographer born and raised near Turin, Italy, with a profound passion for the art of portrait photography. Hailing from the picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Italy, I have dedicated my lens to capturing the essence of human emotion and expression through my work. I've always been passionate about photography, so in my early twenties I started reading and studying about both the technical aspects and the artistic side of this form of art. Then I would go out and try putting all that into practice. With an unwavering fascination for the human faces and bodies and their infinite stories, I strive to create captivating portraits that leave a lasting impression. My journey as a portrait photographer began with a genuine curiosity for connecting with people and exploring the unique narratives that lie within each individual. Through the delicate interplay of subject and environment, my aim is to uncover the layers of personality, emotion, and identity that define us as human beings. Every photoshoot is a collaborative experience, where I take the time to engage with my subjects, building a comfortable atmosphere that allows their true selves to shine through. Having exhibited my work in galleries across Italy, I am thrilled to present a selection of my portraits here at Saatchi. Each photograph invites you to delve into the untold stories that dwell within these captivating faces, provoking contemplation, curiosity, and a renewed appreciation for the power of human expression. Taking cues from the symbolism found in classical art, my artistic focus centers on capturing my subjects in a way that reflects the timeless grace and vulnerability of the human journey, without resorting to gratuitous sexualization. The male form, as depicted in the fine arts, holds a significant historical significance, once regarded as the epitome of noble artistic endeavors. In the ancient days of Greece, the male physique symbolized the essence of Greek civilization, embodying notions of strength, authority, and supremacy. So, I invite you to embark on this visual journey with me, where we will explore the beauty, depth, and intricacies of the human spirit.
