salvatore matarazzo
Salvatore Matarazzo (Viareggio, 1980) is a contemporary street photographer; his research is characterized by very expressive portraits symbolizing the quirks and obsessions of our times.
After attending photography classes, he was dedicated to journalism photography, publishing his photos in the most important national newspapers.
Interested in the street life and public spaces, in his photography, Salvatore committed the flash so instinctively and not authorized, he is very close to the people and the lights without alerting them, impressing in his photographs and expressions, unique and unrepeatable moments.
Street photography has always played a key role in the production of the Salvatore; initially, it was a way to document news reports, reportage, and events. Until in 2012 he chose to leave the journalism to devote himself to a form of expression free from any kind of conditioning, and then follow only himself, his new point of view has led to various publications for the best magazines photographic, among these, ISP, Vieworld Photo Magazine, Street Photography Magazine, and Huffigton post.
The photo features two women with striking appearances, both wearing oversized sunglasses and headwraps. Their makeup is bold, with vibrant lipstick colors. The background suggests a lively atmosphere, possibly a public event or celebration, indicated by the presence of other people and colorful surroundings. The lighting is dynamic, enhancing the vivid colors and expressions of the subjects.
- Color: Vivid and contrasting colors create visual interest, particularly in the sunglasses and lipstick.
- Texture: The headwrap fabric and clothing patterns add tactile quality.
- Form: The shapes of the sunglasses and facial features create distinct silhouettes.
- Line: The contours of the subjects’ faces and the lines of their accessories guide the viewer’s eye.
- Light: Dynamic lighting enhances colors and creates depth, adding to the overall mood.
- Space: The composition balances the subjects with the background, creating a sense of context and environment.

In my final image, I’ll try to take a close-up picture on the street.
