The strawberries in untitled 1 were more in a straight line than Strawberries in Summertime, but during the process of remaking the image they looked straight. The shadows are, also, on different sides because I didn't think about where my light source was coming from as long as I had enough light. For untitled 2 and Eggs and Oranges, I couldn't find an orange that already had its own leaves so I used some from my yard. I, also, thought the right leaf was placed correctly when photographing Eggs and Oranges, and I didn't think about how the light was shining on them (referring to differently placed shadows). The egg in All the King's Horses is white because I didn't want to waste anymore eggs than I already was, I had to buy a regular sized carton because I couldn't find mini cartons of eggs. The band-aid is a different color because I didn't have that pale colored band-aid and I didn't know where I could find that specific kind. I couldn't quite figure out how to make the cracks more prominent (maybe an egg color change would have worked, I don't know).
Report
Maurizio Di Iorio was born sometime in the twentieth century (that is an educated guess because the information was not available) in Pescara, Italy. He studied law before becoming a "copywriter in the advertising world." He bought his first camera in 2009 because he realized he wanted a career change. He became a full-time photographer in 2011. He calls himself "Egglestonian by culture." He is, also, a self-taught photographer.
Maurizio's images are very colorful and vibrant. He, also, uses very harsh lighting to create a natural contrast. The image are supposed to look simple, with no hidden meaning. It's like pop art because of the vibrance of colors and the , mostly, visual simplicity. I guess his work could also be classified as fine art photography because it's simple, but probably not because of the amount of color and his photographic subjects.
He doesn't try to "say" anything with his photos. "My photographs are tales in a small scale and often focus on the relation between objects and human beings." He doesn't even like photos that are trying to send a message. He likes to do the exact opposite of everyone else."[...] I reject any form of idealization."
To be honest he hasn't "influenced" me, he let me know it was ok to just take pictures of things that look cool. When I look at art I don't try to look any deeper than surface level, unless it's clearly representative. Searching for something makes me not enjoy the artwork, and Maurizio's work doesn't make me do that. The vibrance and simplicity of his images are attracts me to them. I admire those who do place hidden meanings, which seemed to be everyone until I came across Maurizio's work.

There was a little child going up a hill with a basket of strawberries. The child tripped on an orange that was also hiding an egg. The child felt so bad for the egg that they put a band-aid on it in hopes of the egg to heal and a bird to hatch. (I obviously made this up. I don't know if that is what you were asking for, but I did it anyways.)
