MARK MAGGIORI - INTO HIS UNIVERSE BOTH REALISTIC AND DREAMY

Komenti i pare qe kam lene ne blogun e tij ka qene ky:

'mire, vetem tani e zbulova kete vend... dhe mendoj te qendroj ketu per shume kohe'.

Mark Maggiori eshte nje fotograf-gjeni (gjithsesi regjizor e piktor) qe jeton ne France me te shoqen. Besnik aparatit te tij analog, nje Pentax e mrekullueshme 35mm, fotografia e tij na duket e moshuar, jo e lemuar, plot gjurme djegie nga larja(...), nostalgjike, por megjithate terheq per pershtypje unike qe ruan.

Ndikuar nga jeta e komunitetit te bardhe amerikan (shume shkrepje vijne nga shkretetira amerikane dhe nenkulturat atje!), hedh drite mbi klishete sociale, duke perbuzur shemtine e tyre te vetmuar, thrash-in ne ate kontinent, e ne te njejten kohe, ketyre moralizmave i kunderve erotizmin spontan/fatal (vajza gjysme lakuriq!) te femrave ne ambjente te degraduara, te braktisura, ne mungese dinamizmi, pa harruar krenarine dhe rebelimin e tyre (shpesh edhe me arme me nur marre nga e kaluara patriotike!). Me kete cilesi unike i rikthen njerezve te margjinalizuar dinjitetin dhe njefare bukurie te forte...

Me pak fjale, Maggiori paraqitet si nje pluriartist origjinal dhe kenaq (dhe jo vetem kaq!) me (krye)veprat e tij ne web...

First comment I left on his blog was:
'Well, just now I found this site ... and I think I will stay here for a long time'.
Mark Maggiori is a photographer/genius (but also a director and a painter) who lives in France with his wife. With his faithful analog camera, a wonderful Pentax 35mm, his pictures seem old, not smooth, with traces of combustion by developing them (...), absolutely nostalgic, yet attractive for their unique impression that save.
Influenced by the American white community life (most shoots coming from the American desert and subcultures which live there!), Maggiori highlights social clichés, despised the ugliness of their lonely and the thrash on the continent, but at the same time, opposes to this moralism spontaneous/fatal eroticism (half naked girls!) of women in degraded environments, abandoned, with no dynamism, without forgetting their pride and rebellion (often armed with legendary guns from the past!). With this unique quality, he brings back to these marginalized people a kind of strong beauty and dignity...
In short, Maggiori is presented to me as an original and multiawarded artist who impresses with all his projects in web...
Ok, now take a look at his blog:
