Indian Still was awarded with the - HF Distribution Award in the Savignano SI Fest 2008 ( Italy) - Honourable Mention in the International Photography Awards 2008 ( IPA 2008 )Los Angeles - Honourable Mention American Popular Photography 2008 INDIAN STILLS recall a world of silence and imperturbable solemnity; the images speak of a inner strength that transcends time and comes down to us from the depths of history, that few outward signs (certain shapes, for example, certain specific highlighted) may attemp to reveal. But the characters themselves are the ones wanting to escape any conditioning time, and they are observed by the remoteness of a civilization that gave them the traits, signs, the bearing of a culture that escapes us, anchored as it is the inner rhythms of the soul, to deny our superficiality, our economic adventure that has all changed. The models pose according to few choices: standing pose and shooting in an everyday environment, often in courtyards, against brick walls without plaster or portraits, faces close, with pride and seriousness are proposed to explain a story, without that folklore, which often transforms many portraits in tourist postcards to breach the observer into a civilization, ancient at least as ours, to reveal through the silence of immobility and the static pose the sense of an ancient culture that escapes the dogmas of the so-called modernity. Almost certainly our modernity will enter , actually it has already entered, but these INDIANS STILLS introduce to a dimension that scans the centuries through the faces, poses, the calmness of attitudes, and tries to unveil the quiet grandeur of a dimension of life. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/29884/Charlie__small.jpg
