In The Garden situates his pseudo-documentary portrait narrative about women surrounded by nature. Captured in the actual scenery of gardens and woods, it offers a real glimpse of the soul of people and their part that usually remain unseen.
This is an ongoing long-term portrait project. I photograph models, friends, and people I know over time and every one of stare at the camera with different degrees of acceptance in showing themselves.
At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are.
Angelo Marani, born 1975, is a photographer based in Bologna, Italy. Always attracted by the camera as a means of expression and a descriptive tool, he started as a self-taught. He studied photography in a school of Bologna where he also attended a master in photojournalism, then in New York, Stockholm, and France; here he attended an interesting workshop about portraiture that gave to him a beautiful intention to use the camera. He realized many projects and exhibitions and received different honorable mentions. Much of his work focuses on portrait and reportage with an intimate approach.
