Pierre Ricardou by Antoine Ricardou
A pioneer for the collection, Pierre was one of the first to come onboard. Naturally, he wanted to do an Italian city, as he had lived in Palermo and Rome for several years.
His photographic work is rooted in humanity and a very close relation to the people he photographs.
For Rome, Pierre decided to work with a panoramic Hasselblad, souvenir postcard-style.
