Gilbert Garcin
Gilbert Garcin was born in 1929 in La Ciotat, he now lives and works in Marseille. He spent most of his life managing a lamp factory and only after its retreat from the business life he discovered in 1993 a passion for photography.
After an internship in Arles he discovered photomontage, where he features in different situations, as well as in unreal landscapes. Its small theatrical feature situations have in common derision, the absurdity of the situation and a humanoid humor that sometimes recalls Eugène Ionesco and his theater of the absurd. He has been represented in numerous international exhibitions and on photo-festivals and fairs in Europe. This year, in honour of his eightieth birthday, Postcart edizioni and Filigranes published a retrospective of his work in the photo-book Mister G..

Félix Nadar
Félix Nadar was the pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (6 April 1820 – 21 March 1910), a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist and balloonist. Nadar opened his first photography studio in 1854, but he only practiced for six years. He focused on the psychological elements of photography, aiming to reveal the moral personalities of his sitters rather than make attractive portraits. Bust- or half-length poses, solid backdrops, dramatic lighting, fine sculpturing, and concentration on the face were trademarks of his studio. His use of eight-by-ten-inch glass-plate negatives, which were significantly larger than the popular sizes of daguerreotypes, acccentuated those effects.

Angelo Paionni
He began his photographic work in 1972. In particular he focused his work on graphic image and he directed his research toward the compositional analysis of various urban aspects.
The author wanted to dedicate to the city of Rome his images, featured by an almost old taste, but, more importantly, he wanted to take those 'magical atmosphere' which recalls unchanging elements, expressions of places, of history and of ancient culture of Rome.
