I don’t remember how or when I discovered Italian photographer’s Frederico Erra’s flickr page, but I’m so glad I did. I love his work and now, frankly, wish I spoke Italian so I could make better sense of the captions underneath them. Knowing Spanish helps a little.
I can’t upload any of the images here, but click on over there. On that first page, scroll down, looking at the left-hand column, to a photo called “colors-hours” with model Sarah. I gotta tell you. She’s probably one of the most amazing looking creatures I’ve seen in a long time, with that completely freckled face and those huge, haunting eyes. She’s like Carol Kane and Goldie Hawn and something otherworldly all rolled into one. He’s got a whole category for her called “My Sarah.”
He has some self-portraits and he’s attractive, no doubt, but I look at them and — perhaps unfairly — jump to conclusions about him that don’t involve words like “funny” and “easy-going” and “plays well with others.” I’m somewhat scared of him.
Nonetheless, check him out. Tell me what you think. Check out the “My Sarah” category; I’m obsessed with her face.
I think I’d have a heart attack if I ran into him in a dark alley… BUT you’re right. Her face – and his photographs of her face, how he handles the suject, is just amazing. She does look so much like Carol Kane in a lot of the shots. The sweet ones. Like a young, freckled Carol Kane. Really impressive work. I can see the draw!
I am now a fan too! Thanks for sharing his work with us.
Marisa — Hahaha! Now I’m laughing, picturing the two of us lost in some alley somewhere and running into him, screaming, “ACK! It’s that Italian photographer! Run for your very lives!”
when i looked at her face …..well, i saw a resemblance to you! i’ve never seen you in person, but she does resemble the pics you’ve posted of yourself.
cindy — that’s nice of you to say, but I think she’s got it WAY over on me. 😉
honest tracy….i wasn’t trying to be nice. just telling the truth.
