e-Flies is the anagram of selfie. These portraits are not selfies:

Massimo Sannelli is here, but he is barely a visible life to look at. The pictures were made by the artist Fabio Giovinazzo

in April 2014, in Genoa, Italy. The camera was a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

A fly can be an insect, a bait, a transport by plane.

All meanings are reliable for understanding the title e-Flies.

The prefix e- marks the electronic features of this work.
