A stormy day in front of the Sciliar mountain in the Italian Dolomites. There is an iconic view close to the village Fie allo Sciliar with a traditional ancient church. In the backyard of the church, there are some pastures that during early summer before the livestock is transferred to the area are full of stupendous wildflowers. It was a fair day and I was walking in the area when suddenly some strong winds started to blow from the west. Many dark and stormy clouds filled the sky quickly and before the showers, I composed a shot among the flowers aligning them toward the mountain. It was pretty challenging because of the wind, but I captured all the necessary data to process the final image. I used focus stacking and exposure blending. Stormy days in the mountains are by far the most impressive spectacle that you can capture. And these are the rare moments where you are able to feel the concept of the “sublime” as expressed by romanticists referring to the infinity that generates in man a sense of terror and helplessness, which is not however received in a violent way such as to depress the man. On the contrary, it is received as a humbling experience, resulting in inability and paralysis when facing the absolute. This translates into indistinct pleasure, where what is frightening and uncontrollable becomes beautiful.
CURATOR NOTE
Light together with dark. Flowers standing together. Two peaks, together facing the ravages of time. Man working together with nature to create beautiful art for their fellow man.
THE ARTIST
Enrico Fossati is a professional landscape photographer based in northern Italy, born in 1979. His passion for photography was born in 2009. His passion for paintings, art, and movies has influenced a lot of his vision and the way he crafts his pictures. The digital darkroom gave him the opportunity to create unique images, impossible to be created with traditional photography techniques. His works are deeply influenced by his imagination, emotions, and dreams. His inspiration comes from many artists, from fantasy art which is his favorite, to literature, movies, and music. Music helps him a lot to focus on the mood and is an essential element during his processing and when he is in the field. His work is constantly evolving and every day he has new ideas and new works slowly materializing in his mind.
Some of his works have been awarded in various important photographic competitions and have been published in many magazines worldwide. He works with various professionals as a photography instructor and teaches post-production. He is committed to various creative projects and is co-working with various brands as an ambassador or partner.
More than two dozen photographers, a dozen countries, an age range of nearly 40 years (possibly more, but some won’t tell), multiple languages, and varied styles. Our team consists of members from around the world. We include photographers from Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Northern Ireland, Russia, Spain, Turkey, and the United States.
What could possibly bring this diverse group together? There’s only one thing in the world strong enough to do that: a deep love for photography.
Our collective was formed on the intentional basis of being DIFFERENT - different artists with different backgrounds, different races, languages, ability/disability, ages, and genres.
When the theme was announced there was a collective sigh, literally heard round the world. In all honesty, the theme of TOGETHER presented a challenge to nearly every single person on the team. From landscape, travel, nature, astro, portrait, fine art, urbanscape, and conceptual photographers, we’ve all literally spent the past two years ALONE.
World conditions have left everyone in isolation. The thought of “TOGETHER” was at the same time refreshing and terrifying. A few members panicked, some laughed, some left, most cringed at the thought. But in the end, the theme of TOGETHER has brought us TOGETHER.
We’ve dug through our archives, shot new images, edited like crazy, and shared critiques. Then we went back and started all over again!
This collective is the labor of our love, created with laughter, fun, and friendship. With our members spread over at least a dozen time zones, meetings were sometimes varied, crazy, and broken into smaller parts depending on the parts of the world. When you think about that accomplishment alone, accomplished with a bunch of creatives no less, you realize the depth of the loyalty to the project, to the team, and to each other.
Long late nights filled with love, laughter, jokes, craziness, and support have been the backbone of this project since the beginning.
For members of the team who are just beginning their NFT journey, it is an honor to be included with seriously talented photographers, who have been secretly discovered to be just normal people. We are all photographers but we don’t act like competitors. The community and support have been the stuff of legends. We want everyone to make it. Together as a team, we have been able to celebrate victories, face challenges, share as we have won awards, been represented by galleries, sold limited edition fine art prints, and are helping ensure everyone on our team is kicking it in the NFT world.
Through it all there is one common theme: every single member shares the same passion for photography. When asked what the best part of our team is, one member replied, “Love, kindness, love, happiness, love!”
Or, as they say in Ireland, the craic!
