Winter Chocolate Fair in Florence

One of the sweetest moments of my life. This fair was amazing and the chocolates were incredibly tasteful.

Chocolate, winter, Italy. Enough said.

Italian jewelry

Beautiful (and expensive) jewelry from stores over Ponte Vecchio, in Florence. They have everything there: rings, necklaces, watches, gemstones, earrings, charms and anything else you can put around you. I was surprised with the vast array of materials they use to create these jewels.

Here are some of photos I’ve uploaded in the last few days. They are from a trip to Paris. I had an amazing time there!

From architectural to casual photography, these galleries are definitely going to hold your attention. Enjoy.

More photos from Bruges

I’m almost finished with my galleries from my trip to Belgium in February. I still got around 100 photos to sort, but it shouldn’t take more than a week to finish.

Travel photography is popular

My travel photography galleries at Flickr have never been so popular! This week I received requests from Schmap and Het PR Bureau, from the Netherlands. Schmap requested a photo of the beautiful Florence and Het asked some shots of the National Geographic Store in London. It is always a pleasure to see my work being recognized, specially from people from other corners of the world.

The singular art of Chris Jordan

How can you make a shocking image with simple photographs? How can you turn an ordinary object into art? For Chris Jordan the answer is in the statistics. His “Running the Numbers” collections is a beautiful analysis of society through the numbers that we produce, such as the quantity of paper we use, the breast implants done every year, oil consumed and so on. “My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone”, says Chris.

Basically his works are huge photographic panels with thousands of objects disposed in specific shapes. When you come closer you realize what is forming all the colors are textures. Really amazing! Check the images below and don’t forget to visit Chris Jordan’s site.

And what do you think is this skull made of? Check his site to discover.

Beat Eisele

I’m really digging the work of Beat, a photographer from Switzerland. I added him on Flickr last year and to my delight he updates his galleries almost daily. I like the way he breaks the conventional with different angles and lights, specially for the portraits and erotic photos. I’ve used many of his photos for drawing studies.

NatGeo visual universe

Mario Troise — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:12:14 +0000

Many designers like to get references for color schemes and patterns in the natural world. Folks from ColourLovers are specially famous for producing incredible color palettes from plants and animals. National Geographic’s photography site is an excellent source for nature photos. They have thousands of pictures in their huge galleries covering almost all themes possible. If you are looking for a specific color you can browse through the “Life in Color” galleries that gather all pictures with the same tones.

Italian textures

Mario Troise — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 01:06:12 +0000

Some people think travel photography is all about landscapes, sunsets, rustic markets with colorful items or people in urban scenarios. Yeah, that’s all good; but what about the scents, the colors, the noise, the textures and materials that enclosure us when we are travelling?

Textures are perhaps the most ignored fact in travel photography, yet they hold some of the most important details of the ambient. I’ve recently been in Italy and I took hundreds of pictures of textures and materials – those that really reflect the place! I will start publishing them now and hopefully it will be done before my next trip.

Enjoy!
