Mario Cipollini

Mario Cipollini
Mario Cipollini is a photographer living in Trieste, Italy. He's worked as a naval engineer, as a teacher, as a dive-master, and as a publisher. At present he works as a photographer mainly for publishing houses and a variety of magazines. He shoots medium format and has an overall preference for black & white photography. 

Mario's SEMPLICE BELLEZA (Simple Beauty) project featured here is dedicated to the beauty of the natural woman. Mario used "regular" women who were not professional models, and refrained from using anything but simple make-up. There was no image processing, no setting, no accessories ... and no clothing. Mario wants to challenge our conceived notions of what is beautiful, especially compared to what we're force-fed through the fashion (and entertainment) industry - of which Italy is a renown powerhouse. "Are there canons of beauty which go beyond fashion? What is it that makes a woman beautiful? Is it fair to consider models and actresses as the only ones entitled to represent feminine beauty?" SEMPLICE BELLEZA is Mario's effort to answer these questions and he does so with rare panache. It is a series of nudes using "average women" as models and is utterly resplendent in it's ... beauty. Each portrait is a simple, yet profoundly moving vision of its subject. They may not be beautiful in the Cosmopolitan-sense but they are ravishing nonetheless. Angels crafted by their own inner grace and the appreciate eye of fine art photographer.
