“Million of years ago, the first lizard crawled out of the water and hit the second lizard over the head with a rock. Thus, the first serial killer was born” _Dexter
A photographic project about Tv series and Drinks
The real difference between a movie and a TV
series is the time of narration. This work is in praise
of slowness; we imagined sitting on the sofa at
the end of the day, and enjoying the cynicism of
Rust Cohle, the ruthless careerism of Underwood,
the icy beauty of the Queen of Dragons without
the breathlessness of running. A slowness also
imposed by the search for the right frame to
freeze, print, and use as a backdrop, the search for
props, studying the shot, finding the right light
to blend the elements together. The language
used, contaminated by a cinematic universe
that is more about the world that surrounds the
“product”, synthesizes in an image that informs
us of the emotions of a moment, of a character
well-known but non-existent in the real world (as
an image; we perceive his presence). This visual
journey is sewn together from a series of original
“Quotes” from the characters that complete
the deepening psychology of the characters.

Giorgio Cravero was born in 1975 in Turin, where he lives and works. Graduated in Visual Communication at the European Institute of Design, he began his career working as an architectural and still life photographer. Moving between traditional photography, digital and new technologies, he often combines several techniques to emphasize and communicate his way of perceiving objects and space, using light to describe the shape and materials.
In 2012, after having been a partner for two years, he fully acquires Studio Blu, one of the oldest and most prestigious still life Studio. He adds the exploration of new technologies and new media communication to the history and the tradition of professionalism and quality. He dedicates himself to the video production as well as photography, selecting a team that can provide a unique visual language declinable on different media.
He also completely renews the Studio, creating a structure able to follow every part of the workflow, from creativity to production and post-production. Lately, he’s more focused on Food and Beverage photography, shooting international campaigns all over the world.
