Published by Seipersei in December 2020 Casting a Book about Women is an all-black and white photography book about women. Actresses, models, and dancers are portrayed without asking to be anything else than themself at ease. The shots of this book project don't have any digital retouch or alteration. The objective is to show a more sincere view of female beauty and a person's character over how s
he needs to look to be accepted. The Art's tone is not celebratory nor tends to enhance anything other than the model's personality.
“The photographs are most unusual, and you could grasp something of the feminine mystery of which Fellini spoke. There is no eroticism, apart from a minimal dimension that is played with tattoos, jewellery, and sights, using deep black as the actual colour. Women in your book look almost European, indefinable as personalities but all very similar to each other: pronounced cheekbones, neutral eyes, slim but sensual and snappy with personal tensions, their femininity shines through beyond the signs of the body as if it were a spiritual dimension, a quiddity as they used to say in the old days. The book is lovely, and it "opens" the gaze on the feminine by posing a question that remains enigmatic, a confrontation with the mystery of what a woman can be today and beyond everything. I especially liked the originality of the look that you put in place with this book.”
