In 2004 I decided to photograph halved vegetables. The project was inspired by a sentence I had read in the daybooks of Edward Weston: “The camera should be used for a recording of life,for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh”. It has been an amazing experience to photograph the hidden textures Nature can create. All the image has been shot with a Mamiya RB 67 on Kodak T-Max 100 film developed with Kodak HC-110 and printed on FB paper Oriental Seagull MG.
This work was exhibited on December the 2nd 2005 at the Untitled Art Gallery in Florence.
if you were to zoom in on certain sections of the subject, it could look like an alien landscape.

Yes, you are right! And I was amazed by all the different textures revealed to my eyes thanking to the use of a photographic camera. This is the power of Photography: it allows you to stop and watch deeply what you look at every day.
