The idea it’s to explore every Italian region finding redhead women to shoot them in our extraordinary environment, surrounded by nature or by our archeological tresures, and put in evidence people that very often are bullied.

Hi everyone! My name is Ernesto Parisi, My stronger passion is the photography it’s my personal way to read the world and during all my free time I have always my camera on my right hand. If somebody would ever ask me why do I love photography so much, I will answer that in photography, reality is so subtle that becomes truer than reality itself.

During this last year I’ve been taking pictures of redhead people all over Italy for the Melanoma Prevention Campaign of the Melanoma Foundation of Naples.

It has been proved that, on people with red hair, the exposition to the sun is more dangerous than on people with different type of hair and skin.

This first project, has been realized in a studio, with a make-up artist, with a particular type of lights and absolutely no use of Photoshop in the for the post production phase.

I wanted to emphasize the characteristics of each person as natural as it was possible.

I'd like to put the focus their naturalness and rarity, shooting them in different environment combining the beauty of the women wit the beauty of Italy , One of the goal of the book it’s also a weapon against the bullism that it’s still so present and frequent on redhead people.

I'm doing a tour of the 20 Italian Regions, selecting 80 Italian redhead women using the Italian nature and archeological treasure as background.

I would like to have the opportunity to show the beauty of these women, because during this journey we have just begun there have been many stories that have struck us, the reality is that often people with red hair still today are harshly harassed and bullied.

This book for women is a revenge, to show not only their beauty but above all the pride of belonging to this category. After having covered the travel costs to photograph the girls throughout Italy and covered the production costs of the book, the profit will be donated to the Melanoma Foundation of Naples, which is a partner in this project.

The donation will be made with a bank transfer that will be made public through the channels of the project and of the Foundation itself. Partner of the project is also the Caetani Foundation that manages the garden of Ninfa and will allow us to shoot for free in the same garden
