Fredo Viola

Posted in Headshots, Portraits

Fredo Viola and I go way, way back. In fact, about this far back…

In our teen years, Fredo and I collaborated on countless videos and photographs and we still collaborate as adults. He and I wrote a song together called “Let The Sad Out” which was featured in the 2004 remake of “The Manchurian Candidate”. Fredo is an amazingly talented person, a visual storyteller, recording artist, world touring performer and avant-garde filmmaker. Check out his brilliant work here.

Fredo, I am so glad we have stayed best friends all these years. Looking forward to many future projects together. I love you, pal.

I am not surprised that by looking at these photos of Fredo, they are pure warmth cast in such rich surroundings, all pulled center with Fredo – charismatic, handsome and the two of you just manage to pull the viewer in.

The clarity!! There is a feel I get from these that is as though they’re a genuine ‘reaching out’ just by ‘being.’ I think my most favorite is the one on the staircase. There’s so much there it’s alive! You’ve managed to bring everything to life it seems and then emerges Fredo peeking in, I absolutely love it – then again, I love all of these (the one with the branch with Fredo blurred is stunning) They’re warm and wonderful!! These photos are the sort one would have enlarged to semi-large to ginormous I’d think.

Or maybe do them ALL in small ‘blocks’ in a giant square cluster on the wall spaced slightly apart, I think that’d be *neat-oh* Then again I see this in most of your photos Donavan – beautifully done (And you..and Fredo look wonderful!!)
