Another great essay that I am discovering just back from vacations. I am a real fan Giovanni… many great photographs…I love the color, the sensuality, the composition… My favorites images are 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 25, 27, 28…. I particularly like 2 and 14. Will now go to see your website to see more of your work.

Cheers,

Eric

i would actually agree with chris and stoopid in a sence – some of the stronger images may suffer from the weeker ones.. and i noticed two or three gigs only that you have photoed.. any chance of getting in to more? would love to see more of the after hours and on the road work..

tell me – is that sonar barcelona by any chance?
a smashing feast for any discerning fan of the moody arts.

great
david

I would take out 6, 18, 19, and 20. In general though really great POV’s and attitude. The last photo I really like; there need to be more like it. It has an emotional quality to it that shows a more human side. In general the girls are posturing, preening and performing, even “behind the scenes”–this is only natural because that is what they do, they are performers. But a few more unguarded moments would round the story out a little.

this is a superb essay: great images, nice composition, great light and a story that is rarely told!
My personal favourites are image 1 and 10.
Giovanni, you created an erotic atmosphere, yet at the same time I see the girls backstage in an ordinary situation which gives a good balance and ads another aspect. The final image brings us back to “reality”.
The reduced colour fits very well and I like this kind of look.
A very different approach to Burleque you can see by Katharina Bosse. She has portrayed Burlesque girls in America.
The essay goes okay without music, but perhaps you can record some original sound. For example the music in the theater with the noise of the audience or the girls talking backstage. This would bring us straight to Italy, I am sure!
Thank you for sharing this fine piece of work!
Reimar

Pretty pictures by a guy who likes looking at pretty women half naked (not a crime, but not very original either).
Did they charge him to do that? Maybe more than they charge the people in the audience? And why not? He got to look longer and closer… Maybe the women viewed him as a form of advertising. Hmmm…
From this I learned some women in Italy do burlesque and get tattoos they will later regret.

It isnt and so i shouldnt. And so for once I wont. So… [damm elipses have come back], Very strong imagery here. Lovely light and shapes in a lot of them. A sense of theatre, a sense of play, a sense of ‘disregard for established norms’ if you like. Overall I like the images, and some I really dig. Story makes sense in terms of itself, that is it seems to have a self evident narrative not reliant upon written dialogue.
John

After some problems I have seen your essay at last. Excellent, Very good work, very professional. Maybe for me there is too many pictures but only few maybe 20-23 it could be enought not almost 30. In my opinion the better part is with the wile plans not close up. But this is for my taste, just my opinion.
Anyway, excellent work, clean, with idea and with little piece of irony.

The piece of irony we all need, isn’t it??

peace

I’m very impressed by the aesthetic way you took for this essay…
I mean: one can see these girls are provocative and seductive by themselves, but I think that by choosing the way you chose (and I agree with others about the low light, the colors, and some compositions…), you found how to show their sensuality in a very distillated and pure form…
se me hace agua la boca…
Are you working on your web site?… it would be great to see more of your work…
Saludos…

Great seeing, but I would love to see more of the vulnerable side of these tough women, along the lines of the bus window picture.

My quick edit would be 1 5 6 7 8 9 11 13 15 16 17 18 22 23 26 28. Some photographs are taken from too great a distance (for me). Good colour and mood; great access! Applause!

Mike.
