A radical statement
The only photography which can be defined as Art is where both print and medium coincide: the only admitted techniques are the ones which give a direct positive print, therefore one of a kind. Once defined such premise, it’s possible to dedicate one’s creativity on any theme.
Any artistic application of photography which does not include the use of a direct positive medium is a craft, not art.
The reproduction of any original artwork kills its intrinsic value, independently from the value of its content (ref. Walter Benjamin).

“The Dog Show” is a journey into the world of canine expos. It’s my second serious attempt at photojournalism. In this essay I’ve put all my wit and effort trying to bring out the soft spots of otherwise extremely serious and prepared people. The purpose is to understand the reasons behind such a particular and sophisticated passion by focusing my lens on the relationship between the dogs and their owners.
