Hand-made and custom made masks and tops hats and crowns. They also have butterfly wings, butterflies and paintings for backdrops. Technique to capture the smallest of tiny details that are inspired by the classic noir films in the 1930s and 1940s. A lot of time and consideration go into every single photo of fine art by the gifted Italian photographer Giulia Valente.
We have inquired of Giulia about what her key ingredient for her artistic photography was. Here's her tale.
"I have graduated from Padua University with diplomas in Music, Art, and Theatre in the year 2006. I've always been drawn to the arts. One thing I enjoy about living in Italy is the fact that art can be found everywhere. It's very easy to find inspiration.
My style can be described as fine art photography. I can see a connection between art and photography. Photographs are the painting's younger cousin. Photographs, not just paintings is my primary source of inspiration when planning to shoot-retouch-and-retouch an upcoming project."
"Giovanni Gastel, the just died Italian photographer, once told me to think of 10000 different ideas before coming up with the best one. I try, in my own style, to follow the same method. Actually, I keep many thoughts in my journals sketches, notes and ideas that will likely be able to stay on paper for the rest of my life.
The primary step to take when choosing a project is planning. It is crucial to plan ahead to define and concentrate on the idea, then sketch out the idea, and collect items or objects... This can be an extremely long and difficult process due to the fact that photography like this requires a great deal of focus, perhaps even the pursuit of close attention to small objects that can be difficult to observe, but are sure to make an impression."
What were the keys in making the caterpillar photos?
"In the context of the Caterpillar initiative, I tried to identify the elements which are the most distinctive features that makes him easy to recognize. This includes the blue hue as well as the smoke from the hookah, and his wings as he transforms to a butterfly and also the way of talking - which seems somewhat conceited and arrogant. In the end, I tried to connect the various elements in one and combine them into the overall style of the image I had in mind.
In May of 2021, an exhibit of some of my works was inaugurated at the Laboratorio Cardin(Padua, Italy). It's an amazing feeling and I am very grateful since this is my very first solo show."
