Oltre lo sguardo
by Gianmarco Chieregato
In “Beyond [in]sight”, Gianmarco Chieregato collects a selection of over two hundred portraits -including 17 Oscar Prizes- made since the beginning of his career. Actors, directors, singers, designers. From Michelangelo Antonioni to Steven Spielberg. From Valeria Golino to Penelope Cruz, to name a few examples. What’s beyond their gaze and beyond the photographer’s vision? Each image represent a memory, an emotion, an anecdote. Each photo in the book comes with a small, great story expressing shyness, trust, unexpected situations or lucky shots taken on sets that were sometimes friendly, sometimes incredibles. In the constant search for the next shot, because taking photos is how to collect picture cards: “You always miss one”. And always with a fundamental goal: seizing the subject in its best shape, so that it can really identify itself in the image and enjoy it. It’s not about being superficial. It is just being the opposite: a deed of deep love for those who rely on the photographer’s eye to see themselves.
