In “THE BUTTERFLIES WHISPERER” I wanted to capture the awe and wonder that only kids’ eyes seem to grasp. I could’ve posed a child and had him mimic the gesture I had in mind, but then I decided to go for a “stolen” photograph, for that maximum spontaneity. The main character’s name is Luca, and he’s the sweetest kid; his lashes are long, and his eyes are always smiling and curious. Why do I know him so well? He’s a piece of my heart, my youngest son whom I hope never loses the light that shines in his eyes and always manages to see the magical side of life, the same one that was revealed to us when he came into the world.
