His main character may be a real-life person, a symbol or an icon, dominating the stage, while subtly interacting with the surroundings. The observers of the photographs feel pulled into the intimacy of the scenery.

Arne Jacobsen chair, ready to walk away (Studio), Zurich 2009, POP coloring 2025
Christine Keeler was photographed naked on the Arne Jacobsen chair No. 3107 in 1963, and the popularity of the chair skyrocketed. The showgirl with simultaneous relations with the British Minister of War and a Soviet KGB agent radiated exactly the myterious aura it takes to establish the reputation of a cult object. Today, this chair model is indispensable in design-oriented offices. The chair on the world-famous photograph happened to be a cheap copy that photographer Lewis Morley bought shortly before the shot. In the photograph of Remo Fella, boots stand for the sexyness that stimulated the notoriety of the object. BUY

Fiat Cinquecento, imposing its presence in Rome (Black and white and POP versions), Rome 1989, POP coloring 2025
The first Fiat 500, called Topolino because of its resemblance to Mickey Mouse, started making history in the 1930s. This small car became the vehicle and symbol for the transition from large, sedentary Italian families to smaller, mobile families in the 1950s. With the cheeky parking situation, Remo Fella captures the agility and the creative personality of the cult car. BUY

The worker series is based on uniforms. The professions are clearly recognizable and situated in an urban context. Nevertheless, every photograph creates an unexpected intimacy. A pastor rushes to an appointment and double-checks the content of his bag. A policeman fails to be intimidating due to his childish and soft facial features. A chimney sweeper's tired demeanor suggests approach-able and vulnerable traits. A fisherman makes us wonder why he carries one fish on his back at the end of his working day. In this workers' series, uniforms take a back seat through the personal stories captured by photographer Remo Fella.
