Guiseppe Mastramatteo

Giuseppe Mastromatteo was born 6 August 1970. Mastromatteo is an artist, photographer and creative director in Italy. Before becoming a photographer he had a career as a sound engineer in a record company, Mastromatteo graduated from the Academy of Communication in Milan in art direction. In 2006 he established himself as a conceptual photographer, images for the opening of the new Triennale museum in Milan Bovisa. Mastromatteo has been exhibited in several art galleries, cultural institutions and museums and has participated in Italian and International art fairs. His works have been published in art books and contemporary photography magazines worldwide.

Mastromatteo works both in Milan and in New York

In 2009 Mastromatteo exhibited his best-known works, known as the Indepensense series, which is the series I am inspired by. The Indepensense series was carried out between the years of 2009 and 2012.  After Indepensense, Mastromatteo created the Homogenic series and the Eyedentikit series. Eyedentikit presents a series of portraits where the author becomes the protagonist and inserts part of himself in the reflection around human identity.

Editing Process

For the first two pictures i used the macro images and combined them together

The idea of my shoot was to take portrait photos of multiple people, facing different directions. I then wanted to digitally edit these photos similarly to indepenspense by Guiseppe Mistromatteo, as i was heavily inspired by his work. I wanted to edit the faces to look like they're wearing masks and for the photo with the girl's hand over her face, I wanted to edit it with some of her facial features on top of her hand.
