Giuseppe Francavilla

Mare Mostrum

The situation of Italian beaches: a way to analyze the habits of seaside relaxation. On the beaches you can meet the usual sellers of lifebuoys and balls for the entertainment of adults and children, people of a certain age who defend themselves from the sun by literally relying on their umbrellas and there are those who even organize a wedding ceremony under a carpet of sand.

Photographer

GIUSEPPE FRANCAVILLA

Born in Palermo in 1974, I have been having a natural flair for the shot since he was 10, using a Polaroid 1000 model borrowed from my brother. A few years later the first experiments in street photography gave way to the glossy world of glamour. The real revolution begins owning a Kodak's bridge camera with a 24x zoom which trained my eye to look for the hidden details of things, as in an imaginary game in which there is always something hidden from reality that may tickle the wonder of surprise.

In 2008 I returned to the glamour theme placing as finalist at the 6th edition of Paris' PX3. A few years later I inaugurated my portfolio on Vogue Italia's PhotoVogue portal reaching more than 500 photos. Since then, international honors have dropped with some regularity and this has pushed me to challenge my skills more and more, even in the field of documentary photography. Currently I dedicate myself mainly to street and documentary photography. I recently finished my triptych on my mother's family.
