Gianni Bianchini's photostream  

I was born in south Italy in a small town close to the countryside and the sea.

My love for photography started long time ago with an old film camera of my brother. It was all automatic. Shutter, aperture, focus. I remember the magic when I set my first dark room and was spending so many hours developing and printing photos. In the dark, with a small red light.

And the lights… and the shadows… coming out slowly from the chemicals.

For years I have done black and white photos of silent places. Places without people and no apparent life. Abandoned ruins, empty spaces, old factories, architecture and buildings… I tried to discover their secrets. Their untold stories…

Then one day I decided to put my old camera in a drawer and buy a new digital one. This was a new beginning. From that moment I found more interest in people photography and started working with colours.

I produce now photos of fashion, portraits, artistic nude, bands and performers, and I enjoy to experiment HDR photography with the landscape.

The subjects and the style of my photography have radically changed now… but its core... the fascination and the passion I have for this art still remain the same...
