About the Book
The photographs, impeccably minimalist, focus on essential details of the female figures. Outlines of faces, flowing hair, and long, light dresses that float can be glimpsed, creating an atmosphere of movement and freedom.
The white hat worn by each figure gives a sense of distinction and refinement, further enhancing their intrinsic elegance. The light-colored dress, on the other hand, creates a contrast with the intense black background, emphasizing the duality of the women portrayed: strength and vulnerability, mystery and revelation. The women do not have recognizable faces, but their anonymity adds an element of universality to the project. They represent the essence of femininity, a timeless beauty that goes beyond the superficiality of features.
The seemingly infinite black background emphasizes the sense of isolation and intimacy between the viewer and the protagonists. In this intimate and mysterious setting, the gaze focuses entirely on the forms of the women, allowing for a deep emotional connection with the observer and leaving a profound impression in the mind of those who admire them.

About the Creator
Claudio Dell’Osa was born in Italy on September 3rd, 1971. His innate curiosity led him, from a young age, to experiment with various photographic techniques. Through his stylistic exploration of black and white, he soon approached a reading of reality focused mainly on the contrast of light and shadows: plastic figures, captured in bright flashes, emerge from the darkness and contribute to creating a rarefied atmosphere. In the following years, his photographic experimentation focused on rural and urban landscapes, proposed with a modern and stylized language, through the elaborate technique of multiple exposures. In recent years, he has developed collateral projects aimed at a new photographic proposal; this experiment continues with the support of tools alternative to the “classic” camera, which has given life, among other things, to the series called “Taglio”.
