David Fierro was freelancing as a graphic designer when he
decided to drop everything and head to Europe for several months. It
began in Amsterdam with the purchase of an old Volkswagen van, a
knapsack, a camera and 200 rolls of film. While on the road, he and his
travelling companion would pause along the way to shoot whenever
inspiration struck. One evening in particular stood out. On a remote
peninsula in northern Greece they spotted a decaying, white washed
home surrounded by pastel sand dunes with the Aegean sea in the
background. He reminisces, “It was there I really felt motivated to
produce something very special and spent that evening in and around
the home shooting nudes with my friend.” Photography began to take
on a meaningful and significant tone. The seed was planted.
Fierro grew up surrounded by a large extended family. His
earliest memories are of festive gatherings at his grandmother’s house
where he would spend hours exploring. Her home was a step back in
time, full of antiques accumulated over years. It was like having his own
private museum and years later the memories are still vivid. “There was
something rather magical about that place that left a lasting impression
on me.” High school offered that first experience in photography - a
pinhole camera fashioned from a shoebox. To expose the “film” you
removed your finger from the pinhole for 1-2 minutes, letting light hit
the photographic paper. After graduation he chose to study graphic
design at art school and worked in that field for several years, but it was
photography that would eventually capture his imagination.
On return from Europe, Fierro began to spend more and more
time immersed in capturing images. “It was interesting to me that you
could shoot film one day, take it to the lab and have a contact sheet
in your hand the same day.” Then there was the wonder of the dark
room. Understanding lighting and the film process were key to creating
beautiful work. “You go into the darkroom and it’s an astonishing
moment watching the photographs take form. Every aspect is tangible.
You can see it, smell it, touch it and almost taste it. It goes in the
developing bath and suddenly the image starts to appear before your
eyes.” With the onset of digital photography the game changed – you
no longer have to lay down money for each shot and the final image
is processed on the computer - but the knowledge gained through
past experience has had a strong effect on the body of work he has
produced.
There is no limit to where Fierro finds inspiration. Even
philosophy has provided the germ from which an editorial story grew.
His images offer an artistic aesthetic as well as a romantic sensuality.
Sets are often imbued with a sense of his varied past – from family
antiques to European travels. Softness, movement and texture are
all common elements. Fierro’s best work hands down is when he’s
given full license to explore, from concept to final product. At the
recent Proctor &Gamble awards, two of the three editorials nominated
from his portfolio were from magazine spreads which he produced
and directed – a testament to his vision. For a lot of photographers,
there is a distinct line between their personal and commercial work.
Fierro melds these two together when shooting commercially, always
encouraging those who hired him to take it one step further.
When working with clients, Fierro tries to give them the benefit
of his experience while taking their ideas into account. “A lot of time
I don’t get the opportunity to shoot exactly what my vision is. I am
working around other people’s constraints or ideas. It’s always great
when you get to put your own twist on it though. Good art directors
recognize this and appreciate it.” Then there is the editorial team to
consider. Sometimes you have a hand in the selection process and
sometimes it is a part of the contract. The challenge remains the same.
“It is your job as a photographer to direct the team and bring out the
best in them. If everyone feels like they’re contributing and the energy
is right, it will reflect in the final images.” In the end, when shooting
commercial work the needs of the client are always front and center.
From magazine covers - such as his recent shoot with actress
Alexia Fast for Zink Magazine – to his commercial and editorial clients,
David Fierro is constantly in search of creating new work and he
wouldn’t have it any other way. “Basically I never thought about doing
anything else – I’m not capable of doing anything else. The great thing
is you will always find someone who wants what you do.”

Most people know Drita D’Avanzo as one of the fiery stars of VH1’s hit reality series Mob Wives. This year viewers will see a different side to D’Avanzo, both on and off screen. Behind the scenes, D’Avanzo is a savvy businesswoman who recently launched Just Me Cosmetics - her own cosmetics line, a loving mother, and a humanitarian. With a strong desire to give back, as a freelance make-up artist, D’ Avanzo has hosted various fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Sandy to raise awareness for her Staten Island community. She also has her own charity organization, Single but Not Alone, which helps provide funding for single-parent households. Raine uncovers what you don’t know about this rising reality star.
RAINe: You stated in a previous interview that we’re going to see a new Drita this year. Can you tell us more about that?D’AVANZO: People aren’t going to see a new me. They are going to see the real me. I am going to try to stay away from drama. It’s hard to do on a reality show. I made amends with my co-stars and it’s nice because now I’m not aggravated and
I’m not fighting all the time. I like to crack jokes and fun. My focus is the kids and I am not turning a new leaf – now you’re just seeing me. Now that everything is cool, I’m just focusing on building an empire for my daughters.
RAINe: What inspired you to make this change?D’AVANZO: My daughters. I don’t allow my kids to watch much TV. If they do, it’s educational or a kids’ channel - that’s the rule in my house. When I’m watching the show - it makes me sick that they will watch it one day. I saw myself getting physical and fighting and I was sick. I don’t want my daughters doing that. Hopefully, I won’t be getting attacked or abused by these girls anymore and if I do, I will take a different direction in settling things. My girls gave me the drive to do that. It’s funny, I am very different with my kids. My kids tell me to stick up for myself. They think I am a wimp.
RAINe: What legacy do you want to leave behind?D’AVANZO: I would like people to remember me for doing
