Paolo Ventura

The Birdwatcher, images made by the Italian photographer Paolo Ventura, who once was a fashion photographer and ended that carreer for venturing out his fantasies on a life not lived that's inspired by the memories he has of his grandma's stories on her lifetime.
I watched the Prix Italia winning documentary 'The Vanishing Man' on his stills works. 
Here's a link to that beautiful documentary on this talented and melancholic man Paolo Ventura (it starts after 20 secs of adds).

And here's a link to his other photographs; click on a name in  the list of Works and you'll see others

thank you for all the reactions & stars upon my yesterday's entry; much appreciated!
