entry description
I was photographing in the streets of Assisi in Italy. Suddenly a scene caught my attention. A young religious man was holding a sedan chair on which the image of Mary was placed. I immediately imagined the scene in black and white and with strong contrast. This allowed me to realize the idea I had in mind: that is to describe the contrast between the white color of divinity and the dark and almost exclusively shadowy nature of humanity.about the photographer
Roberto Carnevali was born in Modena (Italy) in 1968, where he still lives and works. As a kid he grew up breathing photography, having both parents very fond of it. At 9 years old he was encouraged to take pictures with a reflex totally manual. Self-taught, he learns from his mother the aspect more creative and instinctive of photography and from his father a more technical and reflective approach to the picture.Photographer for passion, he explores the world of the image in all its eclectic shapes.
