For some time now, I’ve been wanting to do a series of photos on the people of Molfetta. I had this idea that I would call it “Molfettan Faces” and it would show Molfettans of all different types. I have been inspired in part by the 100 Strangers Project. The problem is that I rarely am able to work up the courage to ask strangers if I can photograph them. The people I have asked have always said yes, but I still get all shy about it.
So, I decided to start the series nonetheless, but beginning with people I know. This photo is of Carlo. I like it as the first photo in the Molfettan Faces series because it captures the Molfettan skyline in the background and because Carlo is making a typical Italian gesture which means “what do you want from me?” or “hey, what do you mean by that?”.
