While using flash is an option, Fascione prefers techniques
that don’t look “generic or boring”, something that could have
been taken with the use of a cellphone’s flash. For events with
inconvenient lighting, he prefers to “get extremely creative in
order to get something truly unique.”
In the coming months Fascione is looking forward to
cultivating his “Artists Within Art” project, an initiative
featuring Toronto’s artists “within their chosen form of
media,” captured self-referentially within their work, such
as a painter shot within the frame of a painting.
“My position as creative director and photographer of
the project would involve wrangling the different artists and
immerse them in a situation that would accurately reflect
their chosen art. The real goal is to not make it seem as
if a photo was taken candidly, but rather that the camera
never existed, and the final image is just captured art in
various forms. This will involve breaking the 4th wall on
set and, at times, letting the audience become completely
aware of the behind-the-scenes. We are currently in the
pre-production stage of this project and are hoping to have
it finished by the end of summer 2017.”
