Zombies through the night

Was it a zombie altogether? I was at night in a deserted street, not even a meter away from her and she was so concentrated she didn't even notice I was there taking pictures. Geneva streets are full of zombies! Watch out, you could be pictured...

The building was designed by the great Swiss Architect Mario Botta.

Artist portrait at his Geneva atelier: Michel Huelin

Discovering the magnificent work of Swiss artist Michel Huelin during an Open Studio visit in Geneva, today. I had also the chance to meet the artist and make a portrait of him. The lighning conditions were quite difficult, with neon and LED lights which are hard lights for portraits, but I am reasonable satisfied with my portrait. If you want to see the artist's work, go to : www.huelin.ch or better, visit his studio in Geneva.

Human Body Project-7265_JPG fresque-signature_protected.jpg

The Human Body Project is inspired in the title of a photo contest "The Human Body". I have been reflecting about it and have started a series of nude photographies. Models are welcome! Here with a filter in order to hide nakedness  (beware of censorship) and far from the colors of my final version, but the idea is there. Comments are also welcome!

Outside Office hours

Night microcosmos through my fish-eye lense. Trying to convey new impressions from this intriguing fassade. The SPG Headquarter building was designed by  Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti. The envelope is comprised of a triple layer of glass added to which is a fourth layer with a ventilated chamber containing the package of micro-perforated Venetian blinds to regulate the light.

At night the glass panels are lit by white LED lights that bring the architectural block to life and make it shimmer, in dialogue with the nighttime urban landscape in which it is set.
