TITLE: "Black Dream"

This series was taken in Rome in December 2018. I wanted to create a surreal atmosphere thank to the combination of a simple metallic necklace and a transparent black piece of cloth. This combination was create specially for the really harmonic body of the model to create a contrast both in shape, with the sinuous body of the model as opposite to the metallic necklace, and in colours, with the white body contrasting with the black piece of cloth. The result was a dreaming series of portraits where this beautiful woman seems to float in an indefinite space and time.

AUTHOR: Sean Glacio (Italy)

I'm a freelance photographer based in Tuscany but working all round Italy. I have approached professional photography only in recent years and I travel all around Italy for my projects. Every shooting session is an opportunity to grow both as a photographer and as a person. I use to participate to international photocontests and I already had a lot of nominations and awards.
I want to give my portraits a deep and knowable meaning "asking" my images to spread energy and emotions and sometimes denouncing what I see happening to our world.
