Augusto Pieroni, Portfolio!, 2015

Portfolio! is a sequence of photographs, be it a coherent project or a simple collection. The personal figure of each author is revealed not only in the technical and operational skills, but in the conception of their sequence, in the choice of photos, in their arrangement, in the preparation of the work and in the textuality that surround it. Creating photographic sequences and reading them are basic experiences and skills for both professionals and enthusiasts. Portfolio! is a book that illustrates and supports both operation and reflection, highlighting all the practical and creative variables of this fascinating instrumentation. The book is divided into two sections: in the first the author deals individually with all the constitutive and evaluative aspects of a portfolio; the second section collects a series of insights: from portfolio readings of increasing complexity, to the analysis of texts or situations that are fundamental to guide functional and expressive choices.
