(ANSA) – FLORENCE, 06 DEC – Rediscovering photos on paper: to do this there is an initiative by the photographer Massimo Sestini who has chosen to be the author of the Florentine stage of ‘Ricordi? printed photographic portraits’, a project created in 2018 by Settimio Benedusi. Until February 14, Sestini will be inside the small church in via Piantanida in Peretola, to take portraits on an unusual and suggestive photographic set. Just make an appointment to stand in front of Sestini’s lens and go home with a framed print. The ‘Memories? printed photographic portraits’ does not provide for the delivery of the digital file, because the aim is precisely to make people rediscover the beauty and emotional power of a tangible photo (prints in the two formats A3 and A2 cost 150 and 250 euros).
“A photo gives emotions, memories – said Sestini -. It is a small picture of our stories, of the most beautiful moments.
he tells us how we were, what we liked to do, who is still with us and who is no longer there. A photo can move, make us think, smile and even make us angry. it shows how we have changed, how our children have grown up. In any case it causes a powerful wave. Why give up on all of this? Digital has made us lazy, but above all it has made us lose the true value of photographic representation. The photo has dematerialized, it is no longer an object to be held in the hand, in the wallet, in the silver frame “. (ANSA).
