Cosimo Matteini (busy, will catch up soon)'s photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I've been into photography since i was a kid, but only recently I have started taking it more seriously.

I love a variety of subjects, from architectural to abstract, details and urban scenes. I want to give more of a try to close up/macro, and portraiture.

I suppose landscapes come lower in my interest, but i love cityscapes.

I also want to learn digital cross processing, but i am not interested in HDR. Also, might have to give mono a try.

Please feel free to post constructive comments to my photo. I am learning so much from Flickr.

UnprobableView says:

"Cosimo Matteini has been producing one of the most inspiring photographic work I've seen in recent years. His stream has style and coherence, displaying a clear creative strategy. Cosimo's work is characterized by a profound sense of balance and his compositions reveal his permanent search for an organizing meta-rule that commands all things in life... But some of his more daring work and often the provoking use of colours also display a subversive potential, that may bring him soon to new artistic experiences."

"Cosimo mi ha affascinato da subito. Già dalla prima foto ho apprezzato una sensibilità fotografica notevolissima. I suoi scatti sono pieni: luci ombre geometrie movimento riflessi ...tutto si fa capire attraverso la sua fotografia!!"

"Cosimo's photography is absolutely genius. He takes things from a different perspective. It's as if he sees the world in a way that most people do not. He looks beyond the picture. In one of his pictures he has a fountain. The fountain is in the picture, but it shows as a reflection on a nearby wall. He is very creative with his work. Cosimo as a person is also very helpful. He has given me some very positive feedback on my work, and he also gave me the criticism that i needed. His work and helpful personality inspires me to continue doing what i know i love to do."

"Cosimo's work is completely inspiring. He produces a mix of macro shots, cityscapes and portraits all fused with delicious texture, light and cracking composition.

His work reflects humaity, beauty and the small joys of this world that we may forget.

His is one of the photostreams I always take time to look at knowing that it will suprise me and delight me. You can't ask for more than that."
