Playing with the Italian island’s reputation for mafia-inspired gunslinging, photographer Michael Roberts (Vanity Fair fashion and style director) has released a collection of photographs in a book titled Shot In Sicily. The photos run like a collage of imagery from old Italian cinema (think Fellini or even Giuseppe Tornatore’s more recent Malena), rich with history and emotion, drama, and casual seduction. Some are staged high-fashion scenarios and other seek to capture what remains of the truly Sicilian way of life. Running through October 18th there is a selection of the photographs from the book on display at 401 Projects in NYC.
