PEOPLE

Giovanni Gastel

These unpublished photos with Leticia Herrera are a tribute to the great Gio'.
We have kept them with care and love, and in these pages they become a tribute that we return with love to thank him again. "Beauty has come looking for you" and you have always been able to find it.

EVERYWHERE

Giovanni Gastel


‘If I could tell you a story

a beautiful story

with a happy ending

like in the American movies

I would tell you about a melancholic child

that from the shores of a lake

saw beauty coming for him,

she said to him

“Follow me

I do not promise you peace

but moments of intense joy

that are worth a lifetime.”

He followed her

and she defended him from the harshness

of life.

He did not live

a happy and contented life.

But he lived with great intensity

that sublime journey we call life’.


MY HIGHEST AND DEEPEST THOUGHTS TO THE GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER AND DEAR FRIEND GIOVANNI GASTEL 

BECAUSE, FROM ABOVE, THE SHARP LIGHT THAT HE SO ADORED, THAT HE MASTERFULLY UNDERSTOOD AND KNEW HOW TO USE,

 

CONTINUES TO ENLIGHTEN AND GUIDE US, WITH ITS USUAL GENTLENESS, ELEGANCE, RESPECT AND ABSOLUTE SKILL.

IN THE FONDEST MEMORY I CAN MUSTER, I EMBRACE HIM.
