Lo Sguardo Vago E Altre Storie is now available on Blurb.com here.
120 pages, printed on premium paper, hardcover with dust jacket.
LO SGUARDO VAGO E ALTRE STORIE features my photographic experiences in the most diverse locations (from Italy to France, Denmark, Norway to Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau and more) with the selective focus technique over the last two years (2006 – 2008).
Selective focus basically means that in the frame just a portion (which the photographer is usually able to choose and select via a bellow or shifting gear) of the subject is in focus, and all of the other elements of the composition are out of focus, blurred – that can happen in various manners, depending on the type of lens used and the technique applied.
A tech note – for those of you who might be interested. The photos in this book have been taken with the Canon EOS 5D d-SLR (used in “raw” mode) and the selective focus has been obtained from the Lensbaby lens in its “Original” and “2.0″ versions; the lens has been used, like a regular Canon EF lens, in aperture priority or manual exposure modes.
This book does not feature the photos included in my previous book “The Japanese Haunting”.

The Japanese Haunting - A visual journey through Japan impressions is now available on Blurb.com here.
Featured by Blurb as “Staff Pick”.
76 pages, printed on premium paper, hardcover with dust jacket.
The Japanese Haunting comes directly out of the Japanese influence - the distinctive mood, which is one with sounds, objects, language, is something that, even being used to catching in photography the “local atmosphere” in the most diverse locations, I never experienced before.
Japan is not Asia, is not Europe, it’s oriental and western at the same time but in its own unique way, so different from any other Asian place – and every detail and view in Japan inspire the mind and the eye to creating, to seeing and expressing in a peculiar way… the Japanese mood is something deeply involving, and definitely addictive in the best acception of the term.

Many thanks to Bruno Mercier for inviting me.
