Progetto Fotografico Southend on Sea di Francesca Guarnaschelli

Southend captures my attention as it appears to be the perfect place for developing my idea and transform it through my photographic vision. The aim is to recreate the atmospheres of a particular American literature type and filmography. This holiday resort and English fishermen town, reminds us of places such as the Coney Island of New York in the 70s, or Walter Hill’s film “The Warriors” inspired by the homonym Sol Yurick's no, as well as the imaginary “Joyland” amusement park, written by Stephen King.
