Fotografia e arte: il fotografo Gabriele Fogli interpreta Giovanni Boldini e Shakespeare

Gabriele Fogli — Sat, 25 Mar 2017 16:34:17 +0000

Here we see a fashion bride photo shoot by Gabriele Fogli with a romantic mood, ethereal, suspended in time inspired by the painting art of Giovanni Boldini and the poetry of Shakespeare‘s tales.Who was Giovanni Boldini? He was one of the most popular painters of the aristocracy of the Belle Epoque: Giovanni Boldini was an artist who knew how to portray women with a sensitivity that enhances the beauty and movement. Giovanni Boldini, portrait and painter and traveler, lived between 1842 and 1931 among Italy, England and France. He loved the luxury of the aristocracy and the pretty girls that he fascinated with his great personality. In his love life, there were many love stories, storms and twists. His female figures are self-confident, strong and determined to succeed in life and in society.

Determination, tenderness, coquetry or strength of mind: every canvas of Giovanni Boldini is a study about men and women.
The idea of continuous movement. The characters of his work are depicted as if they were pictures taken during the action, like photographs from long exposure where the bottom is moving and the subject will be frozen by a slight stroke of flash.

Behind the creative concept of this amazing fashion story and photo project there is a dual inspirational source.
We see the portraits, the dynamic movement in frozen situations, we see the luxurious atmosphere of the environments, we appreciate the soft colors. everything bring to the Giovanni Boldini’s paintings.

In the other hand the mood evoked thanks to strong design and a set of impact squeeze the eye the imaginative creativity of Shakespeare and especially to his play Midsummer Night’s Dream: a play that conjures magic and supernatural love to create a fairytale world.
Gabriele Fogli photographer taking hints from the play, mix together different styles and

“romance, dreams and the wild feeling of everlasting love“…

As scenery of this fashion story, Gabriele Fogli chose Sorrento, not far from Naples in Italy. The location of this shooting day was the luxurious Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Italy. The hotel sits atop a cliff above the shining waters of the Gulf of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius rising proudly in the distance. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is famous for its terrace and breath-taking views, it’s positively enthralling and a great backdrop for enchanting bridal fashion editorial shooting.
The bride is draped in Enzo Miccio dresses. Enzo Miccio is a great italian wedding planner and event planner, set designer, stylist and wedding stylist, he works with excellence in the sector of luxury weddings. For Enzo, it was his first experience as a stylist and set designer working on stage on a real fashion shooting. He worked very well on every shot offering all his support and all his great professionalism to make every scene flawless, exciting as they should, evocative like a dream. The end result is a photo project accurate and refined as if it were an advertising shoot rather than a fashion editorial.The fashion bride, Madeline @ Monster Milano with porcelain fragility, waits anxiously for her love. Her hair is styled in waves, swept back in a crown of flowers –almost nymph-like.

Love is love. Love is one! Antonio and Vincenzo’s wedding.

sublimio — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 13:01:08 +0000

Antonio and Vincenzo are two Italians, like many others. They live together in Rome. They work hard, every single day. They pay taxes. They love their country. They lead a quiet life. They have many friends … Well! So? You may say: what’s strange abut it? Nothing, except that still in 2015, in Italy gay wedding, same-sex marriages are not legally recognized. This failure to legal recognition discriminates their right to protect each other, discriminates their right to protect and take care of each other. Antonio is from Sicily, Vincenzo was born in Puglia. On November 6, 2013, they decided to get married in New York, attended by a few close friends. In a few hours the dream of a lifetime come true. Their love is legally recognized in New York state and in many others around the world, but not in the one where they live and where they want to stay.

Supported by each other’s unstoppable strength and convinced of their own feelings, Antonio and Vincenzo wanted to give a signal, a testimony of their love. In july, 2014 the 27, they chose the enchanting scenery of the Chiaramonte Castle in Siculiana, in the province of Agrigento, just few steps from the Valley of the Temples, in a land rich in history and beauty, to bring together family and friends from all corner of the world and to seal their union.

That evening, which according to many will be unforgettable and fabulous, the newlyweds have given emotions of joy and peace, pure and fresh, with a touch of understated elegance.

It’s the sunset at the Castle of Chiaramonte and the guests arrive. They are immersed immediately in an elegant and soothing atmosphere with selected music, tasty finger food, a rich cocktail bar, the stunning sunset from the rooftop terrace of the castle and the lovely entertainment of the photoboot where friends and relatives had fun giving a personal photographic memory o the bride and groom. Then all the guests gather to witness an unexpected and touching dance themed on the freedom of love: a large group of dancers, dancing following the rhythm of a suggestive music played live by the DJ.

Soon after, everyone is invited to take a seat in the square. The walls light up slowly of the rainbow flag colors, while on a giant screen placed over the “altar” starts a exciting photos-video projection focused on the love history of the couple and on their love proclamation in New York. In the presence of their witnesses and the three goddesses that represent the Sensuality, Patience and Tenacity of their history, the two husbands trace softly and gently the stages of their love story, marked by moments so sweet as bitter, so joyful as hard. It was a unique ceremony because it was focuses not only on the promise of eternal love, but also on the mutual forgiveness. The all nigh was deliberately supported also by some real punch in the stomach as the unexpected and breathtaking play which took place in the dungeons: the old prisons of the Chiaramonte Castle.

Antonio says:
– “We brought to the altar the essence of our love: the support of our loved ones, parents and relatives, who despite all, they are always getting close. We saw the light and the smile reflected in the eyes and on the lips of our guests. We shared the love, we felt the warmth of the embrace of all our guests, even of those with less tender heart. All the guests were moved and clapped continuously, enchanted by the universal theme of love. We believe that the pictures are worth more than thousand words “-.

look at the wedding reportage

Vincenzo adds in end:
-“We want to share our joy, through our wedding video, with those who have been with us that day, but also with those who were not. And even more we want to share it with those who are skeptical or prevented, with those who ignore what is normal love between two men or two women. In our small and as far as we can, we want bear witness to the normal and the beauty of love, in all its forms, hoping to bring a drop of courage and strength to those who still are afraid, to who pretends to himself, to those fleeing from themselves, to who hides or becomes convinced of being ‘wrong’ or ‘different’, to those who can not fully express their emotions, lest repercussions in family, at work or in society. We hope to give a pause to those who condemn the others and to those who do not know what they ignores. The love of two people who love each other makes a unique entity. Love is love. Love is one!

“Love, free your heart and soul from fear. Always be free to fully express yourself“

This is why we ask everyone to share and forward our wedding video! Because LOVE IS LOVE. LOVE IS ONE”-.

Elisabetta’s Jimmy Choo

Gabriele Fogli — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 12:48:22 +0000

Which woman does not dream, even for once, to own a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes?

Jimmy, the Malaysian designer, actually resident in London came from a small workshop in the suburbs of the British underground. He owes his fortune to a editorial article of eight pages on Vogue magazine and the undisputed taste of Princess Diana, who preferred his shoes among all other brands. And how can she be wrong?

It’s a dream to wear Jimmy Choo shoes, and what better occasion than the day of her marriage. This is exactly what our bride Elizabeth decided to do when she chose these charming white Jimmy Choo with a simple wrap front, a small plateau and ankle straps to be even more beautiful and slender on 12 cm heels.

So beautiful as to gain a place in the wedding photo album, so here we find Elizabeth, the veil and her Jimmy Choo!
