"Why?" with Giulio Sciorio

5/11/2017

Giulio Scorio, in this new episode, shares one of his favorite images from a project that became the catalyst to establishing his career. Shot for editorial, the image was part of a complete assignment shooting for the Village Voice in Phoenix ten years ago.

Check out more of Giulio's work with a visit to his website. Just click on his image.

Today Giulio is part of Panasonic's Luminary Team, one of the most diverse groups of artists in professional photography. You can keep tabs on what he's working on with a visit to the LumixLounge. Just click on the LUMIX G logo below.

He's also no stranger to SCU and has been a regular contributor. Check out some his past posts, all focused on helping you raise the bar on the quality of your images. One of my personal favorites is his guest post from four years ago about using a small camera. It's also unique because he talked about animating portraits and wanting to bring still images to life.

"Why?" started out as a project to introduce you to the favorite images by the movers and shakers in professional photography, but each artist has shared so much more about their lives than just a photograph.

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017.

I have a lot of respect for photographers who focus on the image that is captured inside the camera. It takes a lot of attention to detail and technical understanding to accomplish this. What I think shines through this shot is how your portraiture shows personality. Knowing your subject and understanding how to display them is something that makes a photographer really great.
