ITALIANISSIMO - Shooting for yourself, Silvana Style.

Following Noelle's post yesterday, we wanted to share with you an incredible example of shooting for yourself by the incredible Silvana Frammartino that we got to watch with her at WPPI.

From Silvana: So the story behind this video…..back in April of 2009 I decided at the last minute to hop on a plane and document Italy. I had the itch. It had been over 10 years since I last had photographed Italy, and that was entirely on film! I travelled Italy from top to bottom in just 9 days, so I did not stay in one location for too long. When I returned to Toronto, I immediately dove into my busy wedding season, and so my Italy images hibernated on my computer for almost a year! I was not even able to look at them! One month before WPPI Vegas, I decided to show some of my personal work in my class, and so, I sat down and really viewed them all for the first time. This is what I put together.

This slideshow is composed entirely of still images, no video!!

  2. This is great! I am going to New York tomorrow, and this is just the inspiration I needed to remember to slow down and get some great images, instead of just getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of tourism. Thanks!

  6. Beautiful! The images, the music and the movement created through the consecutive images is perfect. I leave for a yearly trip to Italy in three weeks, this video is truly a gift of inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
