Yes, yes, yes!!!
I have been invited to show this photograph in London, in an amazing group exhibition.
It’s a pic that I shot in Venice last year. There is a story behind the shot, of course, but I would not tell it. So you have to imagine it ; -)
The subject is a friend of mine, and he’s also a talented photographer.
Take a look at his website!

Elena Pirogova (website), who is the photographer that selected it, said that “The picture is done with good sense of humour and at the same time it is a decent portrait reflecting sitter’s personality and lets you read a story in his eyes. The contrast between the flirty looking apron and the taught looking character set in a rough enviroment is just magnificent. I can easily imagine a portrait like this in such magazines as Esquire. Great work!”
Well, thanks a lot!
Today I received the poster you see here above, and I’m very honored by this invitation.
The exhibition opens at theprintspace gallery at 74 Kingsland Road on Thursday, 8 November from 7pm-9:30pm with drinks provided. Then continues from 9 to 30 November, Monday-Friday 9am-7pm. Admission free!
So, if you go over there…
The modern man » Paolo Mezzera - […] It all started one day in Venice, near St. Mark square, when we decided to buy this ridiculous apron. I shot the first photo there, and it was amazing. It was also performed in an exhibition in London, last November. You can read about it here: http://paolomezzera.com/2012/10/31/one-month-in-london/ […]
