TH: Tell us about yourself.
GP: I am Giuseppe Palmisano, I am 25 years old and I live in Bologna, in Middle Italy. I'm a Photographer.

TH: How much planning goes into each of your works?
GP: Usually I do not plan my works, I rather prefer playing with models- improvising. All is spontaneous and it comes naturally. It's not only a photo, it's a sort of a photographic "act" instead. It's all very theatrical.

TH: What’s your greatest source of inspiration?
GP: I used to work in the theatre, from which I get most of my inspiration. I use Guy Bourdin as inspiration and all walks of life.

TH: Once you finished a piece of art, what do you do?
GP: Being an actor, when I finish a piece of work, I feel the need to show it to the public, receive comments and feelings about what I created.

TH: Do you think artists see the world differently than people who do not create art?
GP: I think artists do not see world differently (however, they surely have a different perception). Instead, artists have the ability to create what they see in the world.
