Born in Bologna, after various and prolonged experiences abroad and a long stopover in Sicily, I currently live and work in Perpignan, France.
I have a Diploma di Maturità Classica (classic baccalaureate) and a doctorate in law; I have never formally studied photography, I am completely self-taught. Istarted studying photography when I was a child, just me and my great passion,but nevertheless, over the years, I took a long-term project course at theSpazioLabò photography school in Bologna and attended a few workshops with talented photographers such as Mustafa Sabbagh, George Georgiou, Giuseppe Leone , Bruno Redares, Valerio Bispuri and Jerome Bonnet among others.
I quickly developed my personal style, intimately linked to classicism with clearpictorial references, but the light is certainly the distinguishing feature of my photographs, a sometimes dramatic and dark light with which I delude myself to be able to freeze time, youth, beauty and life in an eternal moment that makes fun
of the future.
I am a freelance photographer with a strong interest in storytelling. I am also a lover of art (especially classical painting because obsessed with light), cinema and literature, many books having inspired me for my photos. This is perhaps why my photography constantly looks to the past with numerous pictorial references and a
vision of strongly characterized colors and moods.

USA: Pablo Ablanedo "Winter Variations"(2019)
Pablo Ablanedo "Winter Variations" Featuring: Chris Cheek Jerome Sabbagh Ben Monder Fernando Huergo Franco Pinna Exclusively available on vinyl as part of the Newvelle Season Five subscription. Pre-order today at Newvelle-Records.com.
Almost twenty years ago, Pablo Ablanedo led an octet of New York musicians that is absolutely remarkable in retrospect. It’s almost inconceivable. Every musician in this band would go on to stellar international careers: Anat Cohen, Jenny Scheinman, Chris Cheek, Jerome Sabbagh, Ben Monder, Fernando Huergo, and Franco Pinna, with Diego Urcola arriving on trumpet. Pablo told me a story of playing at the NYC institution Knitting Factory on a Thursday night. The whole band arrived to play some new works of Pablo’s, but the audience did not.
Not a single paying member arrived to the concert. Such was the dedication of the group—and their respect for Pablo’s music—that, without any consultation, they played the entire set to an empty room. I was in NYC during this time and it pains me to have missed this show, not just because each of the murderers' row of musicians playing that little room, but because Pablo is a world-class composer who should be heard by everyone.
Now, twenty years later, this same band has re-united to play through new works of Pablo's once again. I didn’t think it would be possible to assemble these musicians all in the same place—some members have moved thousands of miles away and everyone has a very busy touring schedules. It speaks to the strength of the band's belief in Pablo’s sound that this record came together at all. Pablo has never stopped creating or evolving his sound, and I believe there is true greatness in this record. I can’t wait to share this music with the Newvelle community.

Libros del estante de Oliver Sacks
Una vez llamado por el New York Times como “el poeta laureado de la medicina”, el doctor Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) se destacó tanto por sus investigaciones en la neurología como por sus doce libros, incluyendo Despertares, que fue adaptada a una película donde fue interpretado por Robin Williams, y su autobiografía On The Move, publicada poco antes de su muerte. Esta lista de 47 títulos que lo influeciaron de un modo u otro fue incluida en la serie “The Author’s Bookshelf” de la legendaria librería neoyorquina The Strand. Hay lo que uno esperaría de un hombre de ciencia --tratados de botánica, textos de medicina, libros de Darwin, Crick y Gould-- pero también hay filosofía (Hume), poesía (Auden), clásicos (Steinbeck, Conan Doyle) y biografías (Nabokov), amén del libro de su pareja, Bill Hayes. ¿Cuántos han leído?
Leo esta lista y me viene a la mente algo que escribió el autor Ryan Holiday, quien tiene un correo mensual de recomendaciones de lecturas: “Haz de tu lista de lectura una colaboración social (...). Deberíamos encontrar la literatura que formó a la gente que admiramos”. Sacks era muy digno de admirar de mucha gente a quien admiro yo, en especial Maria Popova de Brainpickings.

No Filter - Jerome Sabbagh & Greg Tuohey (2018)
No Filter, from start to finish, has a "less is more" philosophy backing it. Sabbagh's saxophone is understated throughout, and Tuohey seems content to play guitar to whatever effect the song requires, be it a sorrowful cry or menacing howl.
Jerome Sabbagh - tenor saxophone
Greg Tuohey - guitar
Joe Martin - bass
Kush Abadey - drums
