Boredom, 20th minute

These images are part of a bigger project.I photographed children and teenagers in a time of twenty minutes in which they had to be bored. They had no mobile phone or anything else technological (in Italy it's almost impossible live without them). they were alone in a room with the camera programmed to shoot in time. The aim was to see if they were able to invent something without the tool of their desires in their hands. The reactions were different, especially among the smallest and biggest, but it has been very interesting to see their reactions. These shots are everyone's twentieth minute.

I'm a commercial agent but photography for me is a great passion. As most of us I've always taken photos but I started seriously 12 years ago.
My favourite photographic subject in the last years is modern architecture and minimalism but I ranges from portrait to travel photography to street photography.
