WePhoto - 2016 - Reportage - Vol 2

WePhoto “The Series” Reportage Vol 2 Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 15 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the Second eBook of the Ten line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Minimal Photography.

Reportage La Storia. Da quando esiste la Fotografia, uno dei più importanti, se non il più importante utilizzo di questa forma di comunicazione è la documentazione di Eventi. Dallo sport alla guerra, dalle manifestazioni politiche e sindacali alla narrazione di eventi di vita comune, nelle strade, nelle città, nei villaggi, nei campi. La descrizione della vita, nelle sue varie forme. Racconto, denuncia. Reportage

Reportage History. Since there is Photography, one of the most important, if not the most important use of this form of communication is the documentation of events. From sports to war, from political events and trade to the narration of the common life events, in the streets, in cities, in villages, in the fields. The description of life in its various forms. Story, complaint. Reportage Mario Buncuga

ALEX MINUTOLI Bologna, Italy www.facebook.com/alessandro.minutoli.98

fotografo freelance nato a Bologna (Italia) ma con origini siciliane e napoletane. Come fotografo amo ritrarre le persone,nella maggior parte dei casi sono Artisti di strada e persone indigenti, ma spazio tra gli sguardi e i volti delle persone in giro per la mia bellissima città. La scelta di ritrarre le persone risiede nel pensiero che non vi sia nulla di più evocativo che tentare di entrare nello stato d’animo di chi viene ritratto, di carpirne l’anima e sentirsi più vicino a lui nel più totale rispetto.

a freelance photographer born in Bologna (Italy) but with Sicilian and Neapolitan origins. As a photographer I love portraying people, in most cases they are buskers and people destitute, but the space between the eyes and faces of people around my beautiful city. The choice to portray people lies in the thought that there is nothing more evocative than attempting to enter the State of mind of those who are portrayed, and discover the soul and feel closer to him in total respect. 22

PAOLA CASULLI Casale Monferrato, Italy BLOG@INCANTOERRANTE.COM WWW.INCANTOERRANTE.COM

Sono nata venti giorni prima del solstizio d'inverno. Che non vuol dire niente e che non frega niente a nessuno. Ma era così, per rompere il ghiaccio. Ho 48 anni, un pianoforte che non suono da anni, tre paia di scarpe da corsa e un drago per tatuaggio. Vivo tra Genova, Verona e il Monferrato. Nel mio studio ho le pareti indaco, un tappeto persiano e un cavalletto per dipingere. Amo le storie ed è l'unico motivo per cui io fotografo. Vado in bicicletta con una mano sola che con due sollevate sui fianchi ancora non ho imparato. Adoro gli specchi barocchi e i film di David Lynch, le amiche che mi raccontano storie d'amore, il miele, le biblioteche e i mercati di frutta e verdura. Leggo Dylan Dog e mi incantano i viali alberati: d'estate e in autunno. Sono intollerante al lattosio, al giallo e a chi parla con voce alta. Ho paura di volare ma viaggio spessissimo. E, quando viaggio, fotografo ogni cosa. Ferma o in movimento. Mi chiamo Paola ma mi chiamano spesso Paul o Paolina e questo é il mio primo e- book. Grazie a tutti.

I was born twenty days before the winter solstice. That means anything and noone cares about it but it was just to break the ice. I am 48 years old, and I a own piano that I haven't been playing for years, three pairs of running shoes and a dragon tattoo. I live between Genoa, Verona and Monferrato. Indingo is the colours of my studio's walls, there is a persian carpet and painter's easel. I love stories and it is the only reason why I take pictures. I ride my bike with one hand, I am no good to make it without two hands. I love the baroque mirrors andÂ the David Lynch's film, the friends who tell me love stories, honey, libraries and fruit and vegetable markets. I read Dylan Dog and enchant me tree-lined avenues: in the summer and in autumn. I am lactose intolerant, to yellow colour and to those who speaks loudly. I'm afraid of flying but I travel often. And, when I travel, I photograph everything. Static or moving. My name is Paola but often call me Paul or Pauline and this is my first Â e-book.Â Thank you all. 46

SERGIO PANDOLFINI Cesena, Italy www.facebook.com/sergio.pandolfini.

Sono attratto dalla natura umana, e questo mi porta a due passioni: fotografia e viaggi. Pianifico i miei viaggi cercando di raggiungere il diverso da me, per conoscere altre culture, entrare in contatto con le comunitĂ che vivono ancora in aree isolate e che ancora mantengono intatto il loro antico stile di vita.â&#x20AC;¨ Questo mi porta spesso in Africa, una terra meravigliosa di notti illuminate da infinite stelle, abitata da persone orgogliose delle loro tradizioni, private di tutto ma in grado di accoglierti con gioia genuina. Inutile negare che queste tradizioni spesso coinvolgono donne e bambini, assegnando loro ruoli duri, pesanti da accettare. Queste persone mi attraggono: volti pieni di umanitĂ , ancora in grado di esprimere emozioni senza vergogna. Volti che raccontano una storia e che amo fissare in una fotografia.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m attracted by human nature and this brings me two passions: photography and travel. I plan my trips trying to reach the different from me, to learn about other cultures, get in touch with communities still living in isolated areas that still maintain intact their ancient lifestyle. This leads me often in Africa, a wonderful land of nights lighted by endless stars, populated by people proud of their traditions, deprived of all but able to welcome you with genuine joy. Needless to deny that these traditions often involving women and children, assigning them roles hard, heavy to accept. These people attract me: faces full of humanity, still able to express emotions without ashamed. Faces that tell a story and that I love fix in a picture. 58
