Looking at the photographs of Antonio Sarcina, you can not help but think of the concept of "beauty": a set of elements according to which many attribute a salvific function for the world. Mastery shooting technique and masterful use of the procedure in analog darkroom, allow the author to obtain photographs that highlight the depth of tonal values and contrast. Furthermore, with the use of techniques of toning and printing on cards rare and valuable, the author gives his photographs of monocromatismi that become poetry for the eyes. Sarcina Savina Cosimo Antonio was born in Naples in 1969. He lives in Turin, where he began working as an engineer in a multinational consulting since 2000. He started photographing in an amateur since adolescence, observing the photographs and prints of his father. The following years to higher education will be guidance and direction, but it is only in 2011 that begins to acquire a foundation of technique and composition encounter with the photographer Cosimo Savina. Since that time, after studying the avant-garde of the last century and the beginning of European masters of the '50s and' 60s, his photographs acquire a sensitivity and a personal touch, using only the black and white cameras with medium and large format. Develops a growing interest for the color change, the press "Lith" and some ancient techniques of contact printing, such as Cyanotype, the collotype or printing a Platinum / Palladium offering an extraordinarily wide tonal range, using only rare fiber base papers and supports handicraft made of cards with natural fibers, different weight, surface, color and texture.
