WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE ITALIAN, SPEAK HARDLY ANY ENGLISH, AND ARRIVE IN NEW YORK CITY TO START A NEW LIFE? RIGHT… YOU WORK AS A WAITER IN AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT. COULD IT BE ANY MORE CLICHE? PROBABLY NOT. EXCEPT, LUIGI SCARCELLA PERINO IS EVERYTHING BUT CLICHE…
When you read this article and look at these photos made by photographer Frank Louis, please keep in mind the man you are looking at never ever modeled before in his life. Curious to know more about him? Yeah, thought so… So his name is Luigi. Or to be more precise, Luigi Scarcella Perino. It probably can not get any more Italian than that.
If you remember well the articles we already published about Frank Louis and his work, you might know that Frank loves to travel to Italy – which he does once or twice a year – and even picked up the honorable task of learning the language. And it is probably because of that little fact that we now can enjoy Luigi. Luigi is the is of guy who is just beautiful. He doesn’t fuss about his hair or clothing, and has that natural charm that make people turn their heads without him even noticing that. When he talks to you he gives you so much attention, it makes you feel you are the only person in the world. Now this light have to do with the fact he hardly speaks a word of English and thus really needs to concentrate, but fact is, both qualities make him even more sexy.

When Frank met Luigi, he just knew he had to photograph him. And when he asked him Luigi immediately loved the idea. In fact, he liked it so much it didn’t take him much time to warm up in front of the camera, which – and probably all photographers will agree – is quite rare for a first timer. So off they went, doing what they do best. Frank with his camera and Luigi with his natural and sensual charm. Luigi is a natural and enjoyed the shooting. He loves the photos. He is also a graphic artist. He is also everything but gay (sorry gentlemen). But that shouldn’t stop us from wanting to see more of him. Full nudes for example. Everybody in favor, please raise your had… -B-

Frank Louis is by far one of the best photographers in the NYC area, he makes models feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing the true personalities of the models to come out. He's patient and understands all of the elements required for a good shot.. working with him was an amazing experience. In this particular case is not a surprise to me how his direction and eye created a successful photo-shoot! congrats Frank.
