Please meet my good friend & colleague Fausto!
For me, this portrait displays how I see his personality. As a funny, vibrant, energetic, enthusiastic and sincere person who isn't afraid to breakout a sweat for some good old fashion results.
Numerous times he has assisted me with shoots and not only has he proven to be a quick learner, he also has an observant eye for detail which is crucial if you want to be a good photographer.
Here we are somewhere on a rooftop in July '07 with excellent sunlight and dark shadows which I used for my commercial shoot. I emphasized his eye by placing it in the light and the shadow symbolizes his many different faces.
I was thinking about a title name. Something like "eye of the beholder ", but it sounded a bit too cliché, so I decided to go with Fausto! The character behind the vision, the vision behind the eye and the eye behind the camera...
