of the human being and how our emotions — be they positive or negative — are a big treasure .”
As a self-taught photographer , Pollini has acquired enough technique and equipment to translate his vision through the lens . Shooting in studio or outside , Pollini works with modifiers , such as his softbox and collapsible octabox , to conquer lighting . Using Lightroom and Photoshop for his post-production , Pollini ’ s edits have a clean finish and natural glow .
In the gently edited , luminescent piece Rebirth , the subject holds an apple against her spine , the root from which the complexity of life extends . “ We must always strive to nurture and grow , even in the darkest moments ,” Pollini concludes , “ Growth and rebirth can only exist when it starts within ourselves .”
Through visual symbolism , Pollini shares his inner workings with the viewer , inviting them , in turn , to reciprocate the emotional intensity of his photography .
