Quando anni fa si scattava con gli strumenti meccanici e manuali, dovevi già “inquadrare”, definire l’immagine, comporla correttamente ed essere personale.
Avevi in testa, bene in mente, l’ottica che dovevi usare. Dovevi essere veloce nella messa a fuoco, nel regolare il diaframma e i tempi di esposizione per ottenere ciò che volevi tu (!), senza dimenticare che il rullino contava 36 pose e non potevi vedere lo scatto se non dopo lo sviluppo della pellicola.
L’arte fotografica di Mirco Basso è stato e luogo dell’anima. Seguendo ispirazione e slancio emotivo, il suo obiettivo si fa medium affettivo dell’evento, cogliendo e fermando l’immagine immediata, quell’“attimo fuggente” che il suo occhio curioso e sensibile immortala grazie a macchine fotografiche che per lungo tempo sono state rigorosamente manuali e meccaniche. Da trent’anni, infatti, la fotocamera è sua “appendice naturale”, indispensabile strumento per cogliere l’irripetibile “momento epifanico” che il mondo circostante gli regala. Amando profondamente il jazz, l’artista definisce il suo stile “Visual Jazz” per l’equilibrato mix di tecnica ed improvvisazione che lo contraddistingue. Soffermandosi ad indagare le realtà a lui più intimamente e professionalmente vicine, Mirco Basso si fa apprezzare per la passione, la schiettezza e la sincerità che infonde nei suoi scatti, siano essi attinenti a lavori su commissione o germinati da una personale esigenza di espressione artistica. Determinato a non lasciarsi travolgere dall’ammiccante facilità del digitale, fino a tempi recenti, ha ostinatamente prediletto la seducente tattilità della pellicola e il fascino trepidante dell’attesa che la contraddistingueva. Egli semplicemente vede con la sua macchina fotografica, memore e forte dell’esperienza del metodo tradizionale che non ammetteva errori e che esigeva chiarezza di idee quanto all’ottica e al taglio da impostare, velocità nella messa a fuoco e nella regolarizzazione di diaframma e tempi di esposizione. Rivoluzionario nei controluce. Le sue foto, dal “timbro evanescente e musicale”, si oppongono alla miope fugacità dell’osservazione contemporanea ed ammaliano per il forte potere evocativo e per la sapienza compositiva che, offrendo una mappatura emozionale del reale, risultano capaci di addentrarsi nel variegato e complesso linguaggio dell’Arte Contemporanea. (Testo critico di Simona Clementoni)

Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking a few minutes and
actual effort to create a really good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and don’t seem to get anything done.
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an
e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be working with? I’m experiencing some small
security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find
something more safe. Do you have any recommendations?
Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your theme.
Cheers
Browsing delicious.com I noticed your website bookmarked as: Quando anni fa si scattava | fotografiadimircobasso.
I’m assuming you book-marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a ton of targeted traffic? I’ve been thinking
of doing some social bookmarking for a few of my websites but wasn’t certain if it would produce any positive results. Appreciate it.
Howdy I am so thrilled I found your blog, I really found you by mistake, while I was looking on Aol for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say
thanks for a fantastic post and a all round interesting
blog (I also love the theme/design), I donít have time to read it all at the
moment but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so

Hey there exceptional blog! Does running a blog similar
to this require a large amount of work? I have no understanding
of computer programming however I had been hoping to start my
own blog soon. Anyways, should you have any suggestions
or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I simply needed to ask.
Thanks a lot!
