"TATTOOED REBEL, LUSCIOUS BABE AND BEHAVED ’60S HOUSEWIFE" Fulvio Maiani’s Italian photographer aim was to do what he normally does: contrast two extremes. It’s almost like the stereotypes – tattooed rebel, luscious babe and behaved ’60s housewife – are playing chicken with each other but nobody is budging. Quite on the contrary, although our eye is trained to deem these characteristics ‘conflicting’, they flow into each other with complete harmony. Maiani normally goes into the studio with an idea and a brief for the team, but what happens in front of the camera is strongly influenced by the mood and energy that comes to life on set.
