Massimiliano Sarno is a very young Italian photographer from Pistoia, a town in the Tuscany region. The lack of specialized education does not prevent him from creating at all - on the contrary, being inspired by the surrounding reality, Sarno takes original long exposure photographs.
Sarno began photographing in 2010, when, unexpectedly, his girlfriend presented him with a semi-professional camera. Surprisingly, over these three years, Massimiliano managed to collect a significant portfolio. His favorite theme is monochrome self-portraits in the style of "I am a ghost" with a variety of terrifying effects. In addition, he takes pictures of random people on the street, most often cyclists, not without pleasure.
Massimiliano achieves the effect of movement in the frame thanks to a slow shutter speed. Some especially impressionable viewers even start to feel dizzy from viewing his photographs - the effect of moving objects is so well reproduced. The photographer literally snatches out the most interesting characters from the stream of people and cars passing by: cyclists, motorcyclists, taxi passengers or even children playing with grocery carts.
Each such picture is a small sketch, a story that you can come up with on the go. And by small details - a scarf, a basket or an umbrella, one can judge the character and habits of the random heroes of the photograph. The blurred background and monochrome give the photographs some kind of special magnetism.
