Marco Palmero Analysis

'Superhero Portrait'





Marco Palmero is the name of the artist who created this digital self-portrait. Marco is a Sydney photographer who specialises in executive portraiture.

I don’t really know much about this artist but I saw the photo and I though ‘wouldn’t we all like to be superman’! I just though it was just a really cool photo. I know it has been done before, but in a business suit? I think not!

In this photo the man (late 20’s early 30’s) seems to be looking up into the sky as if he were superman. He is wearing glasses (maybe to look more like a business man) and he is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and striped tie. He looks like just your average guy in a suit by day, and just your average superhero by night! He is also wearing a superman outfit under his clothes (Photoshopped in) and he is ripping the suit open to expose his superhero-ness! He may be showing a message here…are we all superheroes? Is everyone a superhero?

Marco is in the centre of the photo, which has a black background (in a studio) as to not take away any attention from the subject.
