About Salvo Veneziano: Salvo Veneziano, Journalist for specialized photo magazines and professional photographer since 80s, in the last years has been mainly teaching photography at “ACSI Palermofoto" and going ahead with his artistic research. He uses both digital and silver photography and he does extensive experiments with some old printing techniques like cyanotype on glass plate and bichromate gum printing. Salvo often uses plastic toy cameras like Diana or Holga to achieve the atmosphere and the effects and the defects he is looking for directly on the film (i.e. Kinesphera and 900B series). In the mid-90s, Salvo started a research on the female nude, he worked in B&W and used a torch to paint the bodies in the darkness. About 15 years later he started to print those photos (not published until then and still in progress) on glass, giving color to the bodies through the blue of cyanotype. The glass plates of the "Blue nudes" serie are each one an unique piece, in each one the imperfections of the emulsion painting confuse itself with the painting of the light on the bodies.
