His gaze is that of an insatiable devotee of effect, a skilful creator of compositions as refined as they are artificial, which celebrate detail and bring out every imperceptible minutia while denying any possible "truth". His nature is not natural: it is built like the most complicated of photographic sets. Before a model, a bunch of bananas, a flying fish or an evening dress, his attitude does not change: hence Innatural, for the unnaturalness within "his" nature.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
