Just as I was about to leave, this duck appeared on the pier, completely at ease with the elements. The light became ethereal, and I seized this tranquil scene.

Renzo Cicillini creates analog photographs shaped by light, reduction, and cinematic calm. His images are precisely composed, often to the edge of graphic rigor – yet remain grounded in the materiality of film. He works with current as well as rare and sometimes decades-old film stocks, selecting each deliberately to serve the subject. His central body of work, Silent Frames, does not treat stillness as a subject but as an atmosphere. Each series explores a different dimension: transition, expectation, vastness, communication, or motion.
