Photographer: Yell Saccani

I’ve been doing pics for about 2 years. I’m self-taught. All my life i’ve worked in restaurants and couldn’t keep a job for more than a year. The boredom killed me. 2 years ago i wanted to learn graphic design. i was very curious about photoshop and my teacher was busy teaching the old freehand. I wanted to alter pictures and i didn’t know anything about photography. My teacher told me “what you want to do is shit, you will never do money from this. There’s no way somebody sane will care for this crap.”

I made my first pic called scream (the oldest one on flickr). My teacher laughed, but i started to upload the pics on flickr. People surprisingly started to comment, and i started to express my self and to explore ps and my limits as an artist.

I have a friend, a great guy that i have never met in real life. He was the first one to really believe in me, and it’s been like that since then. I get support, but only on the internet.

I explore my limits with my body everyday and i’m getting comfortable with nudes, something that was unthinkable for me sometime ago. For a good pic i will do everything i possibly can.

“We should consider that 95 percent of human history was pre-patriarchal. Perhaps we should just declare the last 5 percent an experiment that failed. The problem is that we read only about that 5 percent of history at the most. We only go back usually a few centuries or at most a couple thousand years because patriarchal scholarship declares the rest to be pre-history. I think that’s a political label. It is a way of keeping us from knowing what existed for 95 percent of the time humans have been on earth.”
