“Talent is like riding a bike.
If the bike is crappy, you can go ahead, but only with
a good bike you can go far”, says Kenny, smoking a cigarette in front of Tabo
Store, here in the centre of Desenzano del Garda, Italy.
Kenny is Kenny Pilcrow, a young Canadian photographer
better known as “Savon”. Actually, he’s in Italy to do what photographers, as
every artist, do: to find inspiration.
On a cold march day, we meet; wrapped in his jacket, Kenny is friendly and approachable, well-disposed to talk about his life without any reluctance.

“When I was 18 years-old, I had been given my first
camera by my father and that marked the beginning. I started taking pics of
anything I saw: places, houses and doors too”, he laughs. “couple years later,
I ended up in a commercial photography program .
It taught very few technical feature i was already conscious about . Firstly, you must have “something”, and that comes up from your soul”.
