STREET SUNBEAMS I - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

Marco Caramello is a photographer involved also in conceptual artworks. His idea of space is emphasized by an unconventional use of the light that enhances the subject. Photography is a rapid and powerful form of communication that allows to "write" and then "communicate" through the use of light which becomes the main tool capable of giving character and perspective to any subject. Although based on real subjects, his works reveal a plot in which Reality and Imagination intertwine, without therefore trespassing on a metaphor. To achieve this, the artist draws his sources between physics and technology, without forgetting that everything shall be guided by instinct and emotions. As he describes it “Photography is a perfect mean to capture an ephemeral moment and transform it in something capable of evoking emotions forever”. Taking inspiration from his own personal life, in the artworks always echoes something related to our everyday life, often connected to the environment that surrounds him. These are particular situations that would go unnoticed in the original context, but that takes a very special dimension when reinterpreted by him. In constant search for new approaches to "read the city", as he likes to say, Marco Caramello thus creates artworks based on innovative lighting effects. By changing the rules and playing with light in an unpredictable ways the objects of our everyday life undergo a transmutation. As an artist, the portrait was a starting point in his growth and always remains present even when there are not necessarily human subjects. Everything in nature, landscape, man-made objects or architectural constructions can be highlighted and enhanced as in a portrait, it is only a matter of waiting for the optimal conditions and play with unusual or unconventional points of views. The artist seems to decompose the subject and then offers a very personal interpretation that frees him from the historical reality that surrounds him. The peculiarity of the style allows to establish a strong link between the public and the author. The possibility of a dual interpretation, often amplified by the emotions, contributes to involve the viewer through a subtle message based on what you see and, even more, on what you perceive but you cannot necessarily see. This vision represents his personal interpretation of Henri Cartier-Bresson's quote “To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.
