Nightscapes

The Nightscapes photographic series is based on the mysticism of places both architectonic and natural. They represent a connection with the human being and its most ancestral history. Light wraps these monuments and natural elements to help the observer to look at these places with a new visual and emotional perception. Light is an essential part of the monuments and the natural environments represented in Ricciardi’s photos, and it becomes part of the landscape itself. Even if light hasn't a specific shape, it highlights the spirituality of that place for the viewer. The shine path turns around the subject to connect the reality to some supernatural dimension, and it relates the real-life with an otherworldly universe.
