WHAT I’M DOING NOW
EN: The printing of 1000 copies of the book, 500 postcards and 50 limited edition signed and numbered art prints
100 copies of the book will be donated to the subjects who have been portrayed
200 copies of the book will be given free through the Tirana bookstores
200 copies of the book will be given free through the Tirana schools
500 copies of the book will be sold to pay for printing the products
If the proceeds exceed the cost, the difference will be donated to some people whom I have portrayed, of whom I know the precarious economic situation. I would like to help them hope.
I would like to help people to remember, but above all to understand the relevance of photography and the spread of images as part of our culture to be handed down, also through books as a means of communication.
I would like to do a photographic exhibition in Tirana, with all the images from the book. Showing the two periods with A3 prints, using the compositions that are in the layout of the book. The profit from the sale of the exhibition prints, will be donated to families with children, who live in poverty.
WHAT I NEED
I started with some initial personal investments, now I need a financial support to continue this project. Your support will help me cover these expenses and will also allow me to focus on the development and expansion of this project.
I also accept help from organizations or states around the world where I can spread this project.
I don’t want anything to come without effort and hard work, I have always worked very hard to get better my talent for a good use. Consider helping us print THE BOOK!
I’m raising money to cover the cost of printing the book.
WHO I AM
I have acquired a good deal of experience in photography and related fields during my career.
I have always been passionate about photography, as a job and as a discovering in aesthetic communication, during my travels I found inspiration for my research on the relationship between society and how to interpret it, from 1980 to today.
I started photographing using the development and printing of black and white films, making all the photographic developments by mixing the basic chemical elements, gaining experience with all types of 35mm, medium format and optical bench cameras. Later I adapted myself to the new digital processes. My research is focused on the relationship between perception and reality, between illusion and truth, materials and surfaces that reveal details of a distorted reality.
I started photographing when I was young, I have traveled to many countries around the world (Sydney, New York, Athens, Eastern countries, North Africa, London, Barcelona), but especially in my native country, Italy.
Working in photography, with study and research, I gained experience as an experimental photographer, in a wide range of styles and services: commercial photography, still life, advertising and fashion photography, reportage and street-photography.
This is an important long-term project done with several trips to Tirana between 1992 and 2019.
I’ve split the book into two chapters that represent two different temporal visions of the same places in Tirana.
My goal is show the identity of a city that changes according to the economic impact.
Tirana 1992 Liberation. Scanned images from color slide and black and white negative. 122 images
Color Negative Series – Nikkormat FT2 Camera
Black and White Series – Nikkormat FT1 Camera
Tirana in 2019, the new contemporary era. Images in high resolution digital camera. 247 images
Color Series – Canon 5Ds Camera
For fundraising I offer the original printed photo book, art prints and postcards to help me raise enough money to cover the costs for the project!

THE PROJECT
In 1992 few photographers was into Albania because in Yugoslavia was a war, and a series of armed conflicts, civil wars and secessionist conflicts, in various territories. I went to that dangerous territory too, because, like other reporters, I was photographing the war, to get the most representative photograph of human conflict, a spasmodic search for crime news for to have a publication on the world’s best-known magazines. When I saw the war front I saw desolation, fear and suffering, and the death, and it all made me heartsick, so I left Sarajevo across Montenegro for Tirana in Albania. Today I discovered that the images that I’ve done there, are very important, because they are among the few that exist. So I want to print this book, to leave a piece of culture as an inheritance to the young people of the city. Some copies will be given to families, without financial means, with children. I hope you like the project, and I hope you will participate in buying the book.
Tirana 1992 and 2019, images of two historical periods of Albania
1992: The post-communist period, is when the dust of political upheavals was breathed, before the Maastricht Treaty came into force in 1993, the year of the official establishment of the European Community. Politics and economic poverty had transformed the landscape and the population. Each person had adapted to the surrounding world, creating new ways to face the day, to survive.
2019: Today what has changed in the people? How do they face the journey towards globalization? I am looking for spaces in which to see how people adapt the environment to their needs, where I try to photograph the interaction between their own tradition, and the rules established by the new urban settlement.
Migration to cities as a movement of inclusion and economic exclusion, where space and the social are in a structural relationship; where do urban development begin and where does it end? Where urban transformation means regenerating spaces for sharing and social inclusion.
Albanians are strong people with its own traditionalist and cultural identity. The people went through periods of invasion and wars, with great courage, that have left the country in economic poverty but it has always reacted with great power and adaptability.
After the collapse of the dictatorial communist party the people could be reborn, free to express themselves and to choose, to recover that freedom that had been taken away from them. In the evolution of the human being the exchange of intuitive ideas and thoughts has always been the best means to grow and evolve, in the freedom of expression.
In order to simply live, and simply appreciate the life given to us by God, whoever God is, Jewish, Sikh, African, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Christian or the sun, it does not matter, the human being coexists with the others simply because what matters is to be alive.
WHY HELP ME
EN: With your contribution I would like to reach the necessary quota to be able to distribute the book free of charge to young people living in Tirana, through the school, bookshops and newsstands. Furthermore, I would like to organize photographic exhibitions in various places in the city, to make the images accessible, especially the photographs relating to 1992, a period politically and economically important for the population.

BIOGRAPHY
Born in 1967 in a town in the province of Lucca, by a peasant family. Growned by three important figures in his life, his mother, his grandmother and his sister, with whom he shared the period of adolescence full of changes. Luca Brogi has radicalized a strong desire to record and document, as a sort of obsessive inner search. At the age of 8-9 he practiced with a small ZIMMERMANN camera. In 1979 with his first 35mm COSINA CT-1 camera he recorded family moments on vacation and in home life.
In 1992 he went to the “DAMS”, University of Bologna in the field of artistic disciplines, in a period in which the city thrilled with changes and political agitation. A city where he found the first professional assignments as a stage photographer with the academic professor “Giuseppe Liotta”, an important figure in the Italian Theatre. He also knew Luciano Nanni, professor on discipline of aesthetics, and Italo Zannier “History of Photography”, that left an indelible mark in the Luca Brogi’s vision of the photographic art.
In 1995 he moved to Milan where he acquired highly professional experience in the field of fashion and design photography, working with internationally famous photographers, like: Andrea Marchionni, Malena Mazza, Douglas Ordway and Sofia Riva, and in highly specialized photographic studio such as the “Superstudio1” of Fabrizio Ferri.
In this period, in addition to having improved his skills in the advertising lighting and fashion photography sector, he made his first professional works collaborating with some important Italian and international companies.
In addition to photography, his experience ranges from video to strategic communication and marketing planning with print production.
Now he is dedicated to the research of visual communication, using various types of languages and expressive forms of contemporaneity, projects designed to narrate the situation in real time. The use of various materials and the use of structures to create installations is the artist’s current commitment.

IT: Violenza fisica o sessuale sulla donna: in Italia 6.670 al giorno, nel mondo 3.324.200 al giorno. L’Impatto sui bambini è devastante, molti muoiono per causa diretta ed indiretta della violenza, bambini adottati e con possibili traumi psicologici evidenti.
La donna come Divinità, Dio è donna. La materia da cui deriviamo tutti.
Sin dagli albori della vita sulla terra la femminilità é sempre stata al centro dell’universo, perché creatrice di vita.
Nelle popolazioni umane, la donna é stata vista come una divinità, perché creatrice dell’universo e di nuova vita, fonte di cultura, guerriera valorosa e saggia consigliera.
Possiamo trovare una infinità di ritrovamenti archeologici in tutto il mondo ed in ogni cultura o religione, di figure femminili divine.
Nel periodo odierno, in cui la maggior parte del mondo ha perso la strada del rispetto, della interconnessione e dell’amore, la donna torna come divinità per riportare la pace, la saggezza e la vita.
EN: Physical or sexual violence against women: 6.670 per day in Italy, 3.324.200 per day worldwide. The impact on children is devastating, many die of direct and indirect violence, adopted children and possible obvious psychological traumas.
Woman as Divinity, God is woman. The matter from which we all derive.
Since the dawn of life on earth, femininity has always been at the center of the universe, because it creates life.
In human populations, the woman was seen as a divinity, because she was the creator of the universe and of new life, a source of culture, a valiant warrior and a wise counselor.
We can find an infinite number of archaeological finds throughout the world and in every culture or religion, of divine female figures.
In today’s period, when most of the world has lost the path of respect, interconnection and love, the woman returns as a divinity to restore peace, wisdom and life.

The project was born to sensitize human beings to a new awareness of what is the power of money and political economic propaganda. Lately I have noticed various tragic news of death, it happens, we all know that life is a gift every day, our future is always unpredictable. Nature itself teaches us that one is born and dies, possibly for old age. When I read some news, and it seems clear to me that the fate of some people, death or injuries in tragic accidents, is not wanted by fate, but it is due to the malfunction of some brains, I get up the pressure and adrenaline . The decisions made by some politician or industrialist, aimed at saving on expenditure or aimed at creating a high monetary gain, in spite of human life, in a modern and evolved society as ours should be, should not be taken into consideration. My contribution is to raise awareness to dig in the news, to seek the truth, but above all I would like to make it clear that we must always be wide-eyed and listen to all the signals that can help us avoid very dangerous conditions. Good life!

The project was born from my desire to show architectural photography in a different way than usual. The subjects are buildings with architectural forms that stimulate the imagination. Lines, depth and color become iconography, surfaces, contrast. Perspective, light or post-production can give a metaphysical aspect to what is static.
Hexagon
A psychedelic effect created by duplicating the whole image six times.
Vortex
The perspective changes on all four sides, while the sky remains on a well-recognizable plane, this makes the perspective distorted.
Influence
The shadow that falls on the object determines the depth of the same. The aluminum panel becomes a column superimposed on another.
Horizontal
The reflection modifies the perspectives and the metaphysical vision of objects.
Flock
The street lighting forms a flock of lights that contrast with the night sky.
Vertical
Reflected perspective
Distortion
Collage of images about building’s details.
Observation 2
Light and color transform the exterior frontage of a building into a bitter face that is now resigned to its destiny.
Exception
In the common existence the search for a cohabitation is often transformed into an exception.

Traditional photography can be enriched with new expressive ways. By removing some canonical rules, I discover a new way of expressing what I see, no error, no failure. Photography is enriched with climatic influences, sensations, actions.

1990 “Pellerossa” Bologna art academy
Bologna of 1989 was colorful and creative, full of events and occupations of spaces where can develop new forms of democracy and new aspressive languages.
The “Pellerossa” refectory in Piazza Verdi.
Rebellion was peaceful, stretch out to the future, it was a period where still thought to create a better world, in a peaceful way. Rebel thought, not revolutionary or angry, was already projected towards Europe. University movement was wanted to be heard by the public administration, rebellion was against the privatization of university, we wanted to leave all opportunity to study and grow, also apply at people with low income.

“Chromotherapy” series.
Photographic project focused on chromotherapy research. The vivid and bright color of some materials, objects that recall some aspects and sensations of our unconscious nature. I used the still-life technique to have a neutral and clean background, and diffused light but also controlled to have no shadows but also a slight reflection on the body of the object. The shape and the material of the object together so illuminated shows its plastic and rubbery appearance. I’m looking for joy and happiness in the colors, the energy that color could transmit, helping us to enjoy life better, giving balance between psyche and body.
Color = physical well-being.
Green = hope, harmony and nature.
Red = sexual excitement, blood and fire.
Blue = refreshing, soothing and calming.
Yellow = intellect.

Historical references.
Therapeutic light arose as a great promise since ancient times. In the modern Bible we find the expression of a god “Fiat Lux”. We can find many ancient texts where we talk about the cure through light. Heliopolis, founded by Herodotus, father of heliotherapy, was the Greek city of the sun where there were temples for solar therapy, the light was sent to the patient in the direction of the eye.
Ancient Egypt together with Greece were the promoters of chromo-spectral therapy, to treat physical, emotional or mental pain. Pythagoras, Hippocrates and Galenus were already practicing chromo-spectral therapy.
In 1672, with Isaac Newton and his prism it was possible to divide the spectrum into the various colors, expanding the possibilities of use of the various spectral frequencies.
In the XIX century doctors applied the characteristics of chromotherapy for the treatment of infirmity such as paralysis, but above all for the treatment of tuberculosis with sunlight and colors. In 1976, Augustus J. Pleasanton describes the effects of blue light in the glandular system, in the nervous system and in secretory organs.
Subsequently, the bactericidal power of ultraviolet light was discovered, and the faculty of light to increase the production of vitamin D by helping to cure rickets.
In Ayurvedic medicine the body has seven “chakras” (wheels of energy), “spiritual centers”, the idea of a cure of the 7 Colors was born.
In modern times, the study has evolved to confirm that the different colors (longitudes of different waves) affect the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system through the human eye on the pineal gland, which in turn will influence through the vagus nerve all the internal organs as well as the organs of perception and the peripheral functions of the body.
In the 90s, science demonstrated the authenticity of the information of the ancient populations.
In fact, the theory of Chakras, found in ancient Tibetan writings, maintains that light through the eyes (windows of the soul) enters the body up to the pineal (seat of the soul) to traverse the 7 energy centers. By stimulating the Pineal gland we also obtain a production of melatonin, which is important for a good functioning of the organism.
In conclusion we must live as much as possible in the open air and in the sunlight, (without sunglasses !!).

I would like to tell you about my trip I took to Fuerteventura and this experience.
Fuerteventura is an island that fascinates me, because it is a place with an air of mystery. Fuerteventura is part of Spain, it is located in the subtropical line off of Marocco, and it is part of a group called “Canary Islands” (28 ° 20 ‘N and 14 ° 00’ W). The island’s area is about 1,600 square kilometers, the population in 2017 was about 110,000 people, but it is still growing. It is sparsely populated, the most important activities are: agriculture (fruits, vegetables), fishing and tourism.
It’s a special island with a mild and sunny climate for most of the year, there are more than 152 beaches along the coast, with kilometers of fine white sand and volcanic gravel.
The most popular beaches are: El Cotillo, the dunes of Corralejo, Sotavento, Cofete, Barlovento, Garcey, Morro Jable, Jandia, Las Playitas and Pozo Negro. All year round there are trade winds and tidal waves from the Atlantic, which makes the island a paradise for surfers. Diving, sailing and deep-sea fishermen are attracted by the clear waters, where it is easy to see dolphins, whales, turtles and swordfish. The island is rich in protected areas, which can be explored by jeep or dirt bikes.
Puerto del Rosario is the capital (Puerto Cabras until 1956). At about 9 km to the south there is the airport; our departure point. Here, my partner Stefania and I, hired a car. At this point we rented from “Payless”, but other times we also chartered from other companies, such as “Autos Pluscar”, all very affordable too and without additional expenses to my surprise.
While going to our accommodation, we were overwhelmed by new emotions and feelings, the landscape looks like a book of time and space. From the airport to the north of the island you can take a road that goes through the coastal territory, which is, barren, arid, volcanic soil, rocks that have been embossed everywhere, on the beach, from the volcanoes on the island, of which you can see the mouths of the volcano now inactive for many years.
Landscape changes constantly, forming contrasting colors, from blue crystal ocean to the white foam of the waves, the light color of the sand and black rocks; a amazing! After a few kilometers the road crosses the white sandy dunes, some of which are as high as 15-20 meters, from which you can launch downhill, tempered by soft sand; really good fun!
Our goal is to Corralejo in the north of the island. Traveling by car you can see some small villages in the hills and coastline. Puerto del Rosario is a lively town, and in continuous renewal, you can find many murals along the streets. Towards the sea there are two beaches. One is close to the center and the port, the other is located south of the city, made of black sand which is the beach for the residents. Corralejo is a very touristic town, full of shops, bars, restaurants, English pubs and many services and attractions.
You can do many sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, skateboarding. There are also outdoor gyms, paths for cycling and hiking; In short, you do not get bored. Many traditional events are free and scheduled throughout the year. Here takes also place the carnival where you can see beautiful costumes, dances that are also done along the road or in the squares with performing contests and prizes. Small villages near the sea, are very characteristic places, to visit Majanicho along the road from Corralejo goes to El Cotillo, passing from the coast along a dirt road. The island is kept very clean, both by locals and tourists who visit it, a necessary rule to maintain a clean place you must have a strong respect for nature and for the place where we are guests.
El Cotillo is a city that was a little isolated, so which is perfect for people who love nature and tranquility, here we can also find some of the most beautiful beaches. Along the road that goes from the coast, you’ll find many surfers vans and campers. Along this road lies Majanicho, a fishing village on the sea, with a few small houses in Spanish style.
With a soft and relaxing atmosphere, nearby you can see the colorful boats of fishermen which are still used in an environmentally friendly regime. The trip around the island then took another southbound inward in search of Ancient Traditions and unspoiled places.
Lajares, La Oliva, Tetir, Antigua and Tuineje are villages in the interior of the island, located between volcanoes and rocky and desolate mountains. Volcanic lands where vegetation is not very present. In these places we found the friendliness of the people always willing to help, beautiful folklore and handicrafts exhibition where you can attend choral singing and dancing while enjoying local food and good company. You can shop among the stalls of artisans who offer outstanding products, like colored leather accessories and typical decorated Spanish belts, and many items of common use.
Going to south you cross the warmer lands where the volcanic earth is not present, endless areas where there is no human presence. We arrived to Morro jable, a modern touristic city near the sea, where the standard of living seems to be much higher, we found many tourists and families, many stores for shopping.
Then we went to southern point where is the Morro jable lighthouse, extreme point where there is a strong wind, you can see the ocean from the cliff about 50-60 meters high. Here the nature is more prevalent than humans. Some people told us about another place where nature is impressive, Cofete.
So we went through the wastelands, a long dirt road, which was difficult to drive when we met other vehicles in the other lane, and to make matters worse the street for a few kilometers was along one side of the mountain height 400-500 meters.
From the mountains we could see an amazing beach, which was hit by a strong wind, I took some pictures of the area. We spent a beautiful day on the beach. Just before I saw a small quaint bar so, before coming back to Corralejo, we had got a fresh drink. Driving along the way back we saw Playa Sotavento, one of the most beautiful beaches that I have ever seen, it is a clear sandy 4 km long and 200 meters wide.
Twice a year we can see a fantastic phenomenon, high tide fills up the beach with deep water about 40-60 cm where you can do windsurfing or just walk. Drive along the coastal road at sunset was very nice, where we could see the contrast of the colors red and orange in the sky, and the blue of the ocean.
Beaches are beautiful, sea is beautiful, you can practice many sports outside, the food is fabulous, you can eat fresh fish every day at low prices, the languages spoken are Spanish and English. A place to spend the holidays in peace and find a balance with nature.
I hope you enjoyed this article, Luca Brogi.
