Penso che la composizione in fotografia sia molto simile al ritmo in musica. Se si dispone di grande ritmo si ha anche un grande senso della composizione. (Rodney Smith)
Se Pietrino Di Sebastiano fosse un musicista sarebbe sicuramente un formidabile compositore: composizioni ”attraenti”, elementi dell’immagine distribuiti, posizionati e centrati secondo le regole classiche della storia della fotografia, da vero esperto e conoscitore della materia. É proprio la composizione degli elementi, il bilanciamento dei ”pesi” all’interno dell’immagine, uniti al contrasto cromaticamente netto bianco/nero- abbagliante/scuro che produce "armonia" all’interno della scena ritratta; e sembra poi che questa stessa "armonia" che pervade la fotografia di Pietrino sia dotata della capacità di infondere una sensazione di calma e pace all’interno dell’osservatore che ammira rapito i suoi lavori.
La fotografia di Pietrino Di Sebastiano riesce quindi a colpire e calmare, pacificare l’interiorità; un minimalismo cercato e voluto insieme alla completa assenza della presenza umana sembrano inoltre avere la facoltà di suggerire una "nuova" dimensione, altra rispetto alla realtà ordinaria ma prodotta e scaturita proprio da questa. Una nuova dimensione quindi quella che prende vita dalle composizioni del fotografo generata da quegli elementi che ogni giorno ci circondano e osserviamo sbadatamente, con non curanza. Ed è proprio questo, ci sembra di capire, il segreto che si nasconde dietro la fotografia di Pietrino Di Sebastiano: l’osservare, il guardare sempre con occhi "nuovi" scevri da quella abitudine e consuetudine che ci impedisce di vedere "oltre" l’ordinaria apparenza delle cose.

I think composition in photography is very similar to rhythm in music. If you have great rhythm, you also have a great sense of composition. (Rodney Smith)
 
If Pietrino Di Sebastiano were a musician he would certainly be a formidable composer: "attractive" compositions, elements of the image distributed, positioned and centered according to the classic rules of the history of photography, as a true expert and connoisseur of the subject. It is precisely the composition of the elements, the balance of the "weights" within the image, combined with the sharp black ( white-dazzling ) dark color contrast that produces "harmony" within the scene portrayed; and then it seems that this same "harmony" that pervades Pietrino's photography is endowed with the ability to instill a feeling of calm and peace within the observer who admires his works in raptures.
Pietrino Di Sebastiano's photography therefore manages to strike and calm, pacify the interiority; a minimalism sought and desired together with the complete absence of human presence also seem to have the faculty of suggesting a "new" dimension, other than ordinary reality but produced and sprung from it. A new dimension therefore the one that comes to life from the compositions of the photographer generated by those elements that surround us every day and we observe carelessly, with carelessness. And it is precisely this, we seem to understand, the secret that lies behind Pietrino Di Sebastiano's photography: observing, always looking with "new" eyes free from that habit that prevents us from seeing "beyond" the ordinary appearance of things.

Molto spesso nella pagina del nostro Gruppo , commentando un certo tipo di foto, uso un termine importante ZEN importante come ‘parola’ perche’ ZEN e’ una filosofia di vita…una scuola di pensiero, un modo per vivere ed interpretare il nostro rapporto con la vita interiore, con tutte le creature dell’universo, un modo per…vivere ed interpretare l’ARTE. Guardando le foto di Pietrino Di Sebastiano credo che il termine ZEN sia uno dei piu’ appropriati proprio perche’ il mondo di Pietrino si esprime nei paesaggi, nelle particolarissime foto di fiori…in originali interpretazioni ‘architecture’ ma in ognuno dei suoi scatti si respira l’ESSENZIALITA’, il rigore formale, ma anche l’anima…l’amore per la Natura, il modo di interagire con essa nel totale rispetto per tutte le creature, che sono poi l’essenza stessa dello ZEN. Vorrei ancora riallacciarmi all’Oriente ed usare un’altra parola che sempre, sempre mi viene in mente ogni volta che ammiro le foto di Pietrino…HAIKU, la poesia giapponese fatta di sole 17 sillabe. di sole tre righe…quel modo di fare poesie che permette, con poche parole di esprimere sentimenti, concetti….solo tre righe per parlare di NATURA ed ecco come di nuovo il legame con la Natura ad inserirsi perfettamente nel linguaggio artistico di questo autore.
 
Spazi immensi, un paesaggio che si dilata fra terra e cielo ,un albero essenziale nella forma, dai rami spogli…disegnato ad inchiostro di china che si delinea elegante a toccare nuvole potenti……in movimento…quasi fossero onde del mare, bianche di luce , attraverste dal volo …libero..di un uccello. Foglie che diventano ‘graffito’ linee essenziali, rigorose, due foglie unite insieme ,una bianca l’altra di tonalita’ piu’ scura…YIN YANG ed un fondo neutro che fa risaltare l’elegante forma di queste foglie. Bellissima questa serie che Pietrino ha dedicato al mondo vegetale, fiori particolari, uno stelo lunghissimo , quasi acquarellato nei toni delicati del grigio, con la corolla di forma affascinante un bocciolo pronto ad esplodere nella bellezza della sua maturita’….e si avvolge di luce soffice e si delinea…..ESSENZIALE in un fondo di texture delicata….Ma Pietrino e’ un autore di oggi…e si confronta con la realta’ delle citta’…il mondo e’ fatto di paesaggi dove la presenza umana e’…assente e la Natura vera PADRONA della scena…ma il mondo e’ anche fatto di strade….di architetture avveniristiche ma anche in queste due immagini del portfolio che Pietrino ci ha proposto, tutto e’ improntato al grande rigore compositivo, ma l’occhio attento dell’artista…sa cogliere un intreccio di linee geometriche , che si disegnano sull’asfalto, e qui la presenza umana quasi si integra…con queste forme mentre si staglia potente verso il cielo la struttura architettonica fatta di luce…di riflessi una lotta…almeno io cosi’ la interpreto, del metallo…del vetro…del cemento e la nuvola morbida…ovattata lampo di luce bianca a contrastare il grigio potente del cielo. Ma la natura ritorna….la NATURA con la sua potenza e l’uomo, piccolo…fragile….diventa un dettagliio….una minuscola particella nell’immensita’ dell’UNIVERSO di questa Natura che e’ fatta di MARE, di CIELO. un uomo piegato a sfiorare l’acqua, forse un pescatore….e questo mare che si dilata fino a…congiungersi…unirsi al cielo in un amoroso abbraccio fino a perdersi in un ventaglio di nuvole in movimento. Un percorso affascinante….la fotografia di Pietrino Di Sebastiano, un bianco e nero che vibra di luce e di ….emozioni….una Fotografia che parla ai nostri occhi….ma soprattutto fa vibrare….la nostra ANIMA.

Aspetta Primavera a cura di Simone Marsibilio
Mostra personale di Pietrino di Sebastiano
 
Inverno, è quel momento in cui si sta intorno ai termosifoni ci si racconta e si aspetta, si aspetta la Primavera.
 
È un giorno freddo d’inverno, un giorno come tanti. Immagina un tavolo, il Libro di Fotografia di Adams in inglese, una persona legge e traduce l’altra trascrive la traduzione con attenzione, prende le figure e le riporta con dedizione e perfezione come dall’una e all’altra pagina riempiendo i vuoti con i suoni della macchina da scrivere “Lettera 35” senza mai fare un errore, seguendo ogni lettera come se ognuna di esse fosse una parola con un significato non sostituibile. Un Totem che prende forma giorno dopo giorno, un’opera d’arte che prende forma, non una copia ma arte che rappresenta la definizione di passione. Questo è un aspettare, una dolce attesa come si aspetta la Primavera.
 
Quando si hanno aspettative si mettono sul tavolo, sullo stesso tavolo dove ci sono quelle passioni create con dedizione, tutti i desideri che nascono naturalmente e contemporaneamente quelli che si costruiscono in maniera innaturale. L’architettura dei pensieri crea in noi un tempo di ricerca che si tramuta in una attesa lenta ma piena di immaginazione, di bellezza e di sincerità.
 
Rincorriamo la stagione della primavera come primo traguardo di quel tempo che ci renderà migliori ma dimentichiamo sempre che quella bella stagione sarà il frutto del freddo e di quello che ci ha preceduto. Se siamo come siamo è solamente grazie ai passi che abbiamo fatto per arrivare fino a qui.
 
Natura e Architettura sono la relazione di un mondo che ci rappresenta, convivere con tutto quello creato dalla Terra e da quello che noi creiamo sulla Terra ci rende unici. Associare le immagini e rendere vivo qualcosa di statico, associare le immagini e rendere immobile qualcosa di spontaneo.
 
Questo è quello che ho visto incontrando e conoscendo Pietrino, generoso e spontaneo con la innata e spregiudicata voglia di raccontare quello che la fotografia lo ha portato a guardare. Il pazientare il momento giusto, il ritornare indietro nel punto esatto che in maniera sfuggente aveva visto con i suoi occhi mentre camminava, dai suoi viaggi organizzati e l’aspettare gli altri, allo studio in soffitta con i fiori del suo campo, con la tecnica che lo contraddistingue e la fortuna che lo accoglie spontaneamente. È un viaggio fatto da un uomo che parla di colori con il bianco e nero lavorando sulle sensazioni inconsce ma con una pura malinconia di una camera oscura che spaventa, stanca e un nuovo modo di produrre tecnologico che sfrutta con l’esperienza del passato. Una sana ventata di natura e artificio che creano un nuovo spazio vivo in cui lui arriva e noi ci prendiamo quella ventata fresca di serenità.

The juxtaposition of a single bird flying against the clouds, wings spread open, free, as the structures that inhabit the space surrounding it stand firm, this is one of Pietrino Di Sebastiano´s photos, the symmetry and play between the natural world and the man-made world is pleasing to the eye and interesting for the mind to ponder.

Elegant & Intuitive Fine art photography by Pietrino Di Sebastiano
 
Pietrino Di Sebastiano is a self taught fine art photographer from Italy. His work has received numerous accolades and has been published all over the world. Speaking about his work, Pietrino loves to capture the solitude silence within these landscape and man made buildings. There is this peculiar silence and irresistible longingness to these photographs which are hard to explain.
 
Most of his pictures are in square format which futher helps in nailing the theme much easier in hands with monochrome. Take a look at these wonderful photographs to know more.

Paisajes en blanco y negro de Pietrino Di Sebastiano.
June 21, 2015
 
Pietrino Di Sebastiano, fotógrafo italiano en 1956.
Autodidacta que en 1980 comenzó sus trabajos en blanco y negro.
Sus obras se han expuesto en exhibiciones individuales y colectivas.
También han aparecido en las principales revistas de fotografía.
El equipo que utiliza es una cámara Canon EOS 30D, objetivo Canon Zoom EF 24-70 mm 1:208 L USM.
Para la edición digital utiliza Photoshop CS6.
Las imágenes son ambivalentes, por un lado, de primer impacto, crean confusión, temor, para después pasar a un estado de tranquilidad. Crea nuevas dimensiones en las que se aprecia ausencia de formas humanas.
Los escenarios tienen los elementos básicos de composición, sin exceso de objetos.
Trata de hacer que el lector tenga una visión nueva, diferente, fuera de lo que está acostumbrado a ver.

A Pietrino che guarda le nuvole
 
Ti ho visto guardare le nuvole
e desiderare di salirvi
chissà se per guardare
meglio il mondo di sotto
o più da vicino i monti ed il cielo.
Fra cielo e terra
si misurano meglio cose e persone:
quel ch'è piccolo può essere grande
quel ch'è grande piccolo.
Ti ho visto guardare le nuvole,
quelle che portano pioggia
sopra i giusti e sopra i malfattori.
Quelle ogni sera diverse
che raccontano creato e creature,
la vita che sboccia, sfiorisce e poi rinasce
in mille forme, umori e colori.
Ti ho visto rapito dalle nuvole
che celano e scoprono il sole
quando, come e perchè,
per il nostro bene,
lo sa davvero soltanto il Signore.
 
Nicola Rossi
