Chess Portraits by Francesco Ridolfi

• By: Guest Author

Francesco Ridolfi is a portrait photographer who normally shoots for advertising and editorial clients like Rolling Stonge, Auchan, and Louis Vuitton. Born and raised in Bologna, Italy, he now splits his time between Brussels, Milan and Bologna working on a variety of projects. One of his latest has been a realistic chess portrait series. Using the same model for one chess piece, Francesco dresses them up both as the black and white character for the session. Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook and Pawn were all included and the results turned out quite well.

You can view the full set of portraits on www.chessportraits.com and find more of Francesco’s work on his main website. See a behind the scenes video of this shoot on Vimeo.
