“From there it was a succession of
milestones, satisfaction and emotions,”
Mosca said of his revelation, “Now I can say
that photography is a necessity I cannot do
without.”
Arranging shoots with simple sets and
natural lighting, Mosca works mostly
with female models. He gently extracts
the subject’s story, evoking an emotional
response from the viewer.
In the portrait “See Me”, the subject’s face
is symmetrically positioned, fully exposed and
bare, with the exception of her colourful lips.
Kneeling with eyes raised and seeming to
absorb the lens with her gaze, Mosca positions
her in a way both submissive and softly
subjugating. In his stunning piece, “Winter’s
Warmth”, the pale lipped subject appears to
be sleeping, nestled in a throw of fur blankets,
with small, dried cotton plants amidst her
tousled hair and motionless face. White
speckles of powder are sprinkled across her
face, reminiscent of snowflakes, as though she
fell asleep in an icy drift and never awakened.
Describing himself as an “instinctive person
without limits,” it’s of little surprise that Mosca
has found connections in the photography
community through his own management
and resources. Working toward his dream
of fashion photography, Mosca hopes to
pursue studies in photography, crossing the
threshold like many artists before him by
moving to New York City.
