I like it a lot. It's an interesting way to combine some radical lighting with sound reporting concepts. I like the way the lighting throws back to the early 1980s with use of strong colour, angles, honeycombs and crossed directions - very different from the generally rather bland approach taken today by many studio portrait professionals. There are several exceptional examples of good lighting, one or two slightly rough crops or compositions.

Typography lets it down, there are ways of getting a sort of garage page layout without poor typographic practice (easier on the printed page perhaps, there may be serious restrictions to the way you are designing Curvatura). You need to keep the cut-and-pasted look and the random typefaces, I think, but if you had a graphic designer for the pages with the same technical skill you have as a photographer, it would be far better. The devil is in the detail, that's all, the overall layout is great.

There is a photographic group in Milan working about the same way you seem to be (co-operative model/stylist/photographer/designer crews). They have done very well and good international recognition and commissions. I think you should get exposure in serious places, like Zoom or Swedish FOTO. Good luck!

Well if you want it, you've got yourself four pages in Photoworld magazine. I can't offer a worthwhile fee in relation to this type of work, but I can offer a very expensively posted bundle of magazines, and if that was a help in your business, you might find it worthwhile to be featured. I'd love to use some of your pix with a few details of what you are doing.
