Hey Freddy! Tell us a bit about yourself;
where are you from?
I’m from Bologna, Italy.
How long have you been taking photos
for?
I
started when I was a kid, but I created my
own style in 2011 when I started to take
pictures of myself.
How would you describe your style?
I would say it’s naughty and funny. I also love
the idea of contaminating the white wall with
my concepts.
There are some gorgeous guys and girls
in your work. What draws you to your
models? What do you look for?
Inspiration. When I see someone who inspires
me I just ask, and if that person is ok about
working with me we start working and we
create what you are all able to see on my
Tumblr.
You’re not afraid to get naked; a lot of
your self-portraits are nude or semi-
nude. Is that a freeing experience for
you?
Yes, I also do it because I wanna send a
message. There is nothing wrong with nudity.
There is nothing wrong with stripping off and
we shouldn’t care about what others think.
The human body is beautiful, so why
can’t we be proud of what nature gave
us? Why do we always have to be
ashamed?
You also shoot a lot of your
models nude; is it hard to find
people comfortable to strip
off immediately? Do you look
for extroverted personalities,
or would you say anyone can
be comfortable in front of the
camera naked?
Yes, here in Italy it’s pretty hard.
Everyone is concerned about what
others might think. It’s hard to find
someone totally open minded. The
first thing I look for it’s obviously the
way they look. When you watch my
pictures, first of all, you see a body.
If you look deeper you can identify
different emotions but the main subject
it’s the human body. So I don’t care if
someone is extroverted and someone
not. You can play different roles when
you are posing, so reality is altered.
What reaction do you get most to
your work? What reaction do you
hope for?
It depends. I read negative comments.
I read positive comments. I just do
what I want and I want people to see
that. I could never change what I do
only because some people aren’t
comfortable with my works. I’m happy
because I do what I like most and
You might recognize picture-taking
prodigy Freddy Krave. His amazing
Tumblr, Kraviation, is filled with some
of the freshest photography we’ve
seen in some time. In fact, we love
his work so much, we’ve even had a
couple of his cheekiest self-portraits
on the cover. Check out this week’s
cover artwork for a taster, then take
a look at our interview with the man
himself and satisfy your new-found
kravings..
Freddy Krave
when someone tells me I’m an inspiration, it’s
enough for me.
What inspires you? What interests you?
Music. Movies. Artists. Everything. I have lots of
interests, I could write a book.
Is there anything or anyone you’d love
to shoot that you haven’t yet?
YES. And I will reveal them when I’ll finally
have the chance to meet them and photograph
them. I will hashtag “FINALLY”.
Your site, Kraviation, has been a firm
favourite of ours for a while. Do have
any favourite Tumblrs/photographers
that you follow?
Not really. My Tumblr dashboard is full of porn.
That’s an inspiration too.
You change up your look often, is
that another extension of your artistic
creativity?
I guess. I feel the need to change after a while
What colour is your hair going to be
next?
I really don’t know. I change my mind often
What’s next for Freddy Krave?
LONDON. My London life.
What do you KRAVE above all else?
Passion, self-confidence and determination.
Can we raid your wardrobe?
You can have my soul. But stay away from my
wardrobe!
Damn. Can we have a kiss instead?
Sure. A French kiss!
DEAL.
