Musée.

Musée. Every time I have to write something about my work, I am forced to make some useful reflections. When I take pictures I never have a preconceived idea about what I have to do; everything happens instinctively, at the same time: place, light, people. The selection of photographs happens afterwards, and makes me aware of the images I have taken and the choices I have made. Spending a day at the Louvre can become an exceptional opportunity to take some shots. A soft, diffused light envelops the rooms, the works and the visitors who crowd in. The colors of the rooms and the works create strange combinations with the colors of the people: their hair, their skin, their clothes. I was attracted by people's behavior; I tried to capture people in an isolated way in their relationship with the works of art, their portraits, their selfies or in the whirlwind of wonder that characterizes the sight of monumental works. I shot as if I were on the street, waiting for people from a fixed point, or following people with the lens. All this while I too admired the works around me. Massimo De Gennaro
