STREET ROME

STREET ROME
  • Concorso: PORTFOLIO
  • Autore: Vincenzo Scarantino
  • Descrizione: My name is Vincenzo Scarantino, I was born in Sicily and have been living in Rome for several years now. I am a self-taught amateur photographer passionate about Street photography.

    Since I was a child I have always had an attraction for photography, which materialized in 2016 with the purchase of my first camera.

    Street Rome is a collection of photos taken around the city with my camera in hands, looking not for the perfect photo but for a moment of happiness and escape from thoughts of everyday life, through an immersion in the atmosphere of my eternal city.

    A series of images resulting from my personal vision of the Roman reality, which have as their background the most representative places of Rome, and as protagonists the tourists and the Romans who crowd the streets and squares of the center. There are photos made of gazes, colors, but above all of happiness and wonder, in which there are many smiles and passionate kisses, everything that attracts my gaze and my thoughts.

    This project started in February 2018, with a photo taken by chance, which depicts a man crossing a puddle near St. Peter Church. All this happened in years in which, for personal reasons, many anxieties and fears were released in me, making it difficult for me to do anything, to live. But over time, also helped by these moments of photographic evasion that led me to the realization of this project, I found the strength to get up and so I overcome part of my fears, starting without even realizing it to tell through photography what terrified me so much, the life.
