🎉 Hi, welcome to UNFOLDING OF TIME by Giovanni 'Messi' Messina 📸🎨🎞
I'm in awe to finally share with you my imagery archive. A safe space where analogue film and digital realms join forces to create timeless magic 🎨
Following my own flows & in a non-chronological manner, I'll be sharing explorations and projects of all sorts: soulful portraits & headshots, documentary street photography, mundane fleeting moments, little details that often goes unnoticed, food styling, fine art & printmaking and much more..

I’d love for you to join me on this sensory-refreshing journey! Now, without further a-do, let's get on making magic, shall we? 🎞💫

With joy, love and curiosity,

📸 ..and that is a wraaap on my Photography Exhibition in Central London as part of "Echoes of the Soul: a Journey Within". Well, actually it ended 10 days ago, but I needed some time to process it all, didn't I? 🌺
~
I genuinely loved seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. Just wanted to take a moment to warmly thank each and every one of you for coming, showing love, asking questions, express interest, supporting me & my work in all sorts of ways. I appreciate you all. What a lovely immersive inspiring experience this was! Thank you!
~
While I'm now away traveling dreamy Turkey (recharging my energies & of course, capturing more photographs) here's a slide-show for you that summarises those days at the exhibition, including a short-video-tour of all my photographs. Enjoy 💫

..apparently 'Human Made' has become the new luxury nowadays.
So, as you haven't seen my face for a while, here's a full circle analogue self-portrait shot on 35mm @lomography 'Lady Grey' black and white film with my Yashica 120 medium format film camera - to remind you all, that I am in fact, a human being.

Happy Sunday 🌺

'La fontana della giovinezza in a self-portrait trio'. On this fine Monday, as I welcome the first day of Autumn with a soft happy heart, I am sharing with you all some lights and shadows, duality of being, symmetry, presence and sacred geometries, all adorned by the glorious golden hour glow from a trip in one of most inspiring & ancient lands I've ever been to. Enjoy!

📚 From the ever-growing series of street photographs while traveling on @transportforlondon - yes, people do like to read books and newspapers, still. I am also 'people', unless I am on the other side of a camera, capturing pretty fleeting moments of life while on the go. AH!

🎞 I've taken my lovely Yashica for a stroll in Soho. However, instead of using 120 film, I've decided to make some creative magic by loading her with a classic roll of 35mm @lomography "Lady Grey 400". Enjoy!

🎞 here's a b&w grainy moment taken last Sunday on the Central Line on my way to mantra chanting meditation.
-> SWIPE for cute doggo playing hide-and-seek as well as a 'lowkey' eye-scratching middle finger from the lady on the left hand side.
