Due to the very serious situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, in Italy, from March to June, a national lockdown period was declared and imposed, which forced all Italian citizens to social distancing remaining indoors.
It is during this quarantine period that I conceived and implemented this personal project. After a few months without taking pictures, I felt the need to shoot again and I asked my sister to pose for some portraits. With my mother’s help and a little creativity, I created a game of light and shadow on my sister’s face, using any household object that could produce a texture.
Here are the results!
Here are some BTS shots of the shooting, that, as you can notice, took place on my balcony just using the day light and some household props.
Objects used to create textures: colander, lace curtain, oven grills, net of oranges, jar of a candle.
Sorry for the mess!
Special project based on an original idea of Alessio Albi during the Covid-19 quarantine period. Me and some friends quarantined, separated by hundreds of km, just shot spontaneously trough the laptop/smartphone webcam. Social distancing doesn’t mean stopping creating. We are lucky to live in an era that offers all the resources needed. Stay in. We’re in this together.
A partially identified flying object revealed itself in Piazza Duomo in Milan last night. The unmistakable profile suggested that an F1 car was hiding under the covers. Responsible for the single-seater is Alpha Tauri, a fashion brand linked to the Red Bull universe that from the 2020 season will also give its name to the former Toro Rosso team.
