When I find myself photographing a musician I am faced with two subjects: the musician and his instrument. They are two separate souls and at the same time joined together. The instrument has its soul, its beauty and its expressiveness: it is an art object destined to produce further art. The musician is equally a person and an artist and he must be portrayed according to this dual nature. The third subject is the relationship that exists between him and the musical instrument. The result is often a kind of luminous dance that springs from a visibly erotic relationship between the two subjects. The light, as usual, must fall in the right places, to evoke the spirit that emanates from them.
In the following portraits: Annamaria Bernadette Cristian, Zeno Gabaglio, Daniela Bedeski.
