Angel or Devil?

More than once I have said that the relation with models is one of the most important things you, as photographer, should look for during a session. You should already know your stuff about lighting, knowing how to change settings on your camera and so on without losing touch with [...]

Jumping in the water

What would you say to a colleague asking you:
“Would you like me jumping in that pool of water?”
I mean, honestly, is there anyone around ready to say no to such question? If there is, I am not one of those! Instead, when I was asked the same question, yesterday at lunchtime, I just smiles, preparing [...]

Talking about Trust and Photography (and a king of the road)

One of the key things I have personally understood of photography is that you have to have a certain set of skills. This list is not unique, everything depends by what are your targets in the field. Do you want to be a photojournalist, or do you want to focus on the fashion field? Are [...]

The Photographer’s Eye

One of the most important characteristic for a photographer, in my opinion, is the capacity to see a photo before pressing the shutter, before even framing the scene. When I started going around London with my camera I felt frustrated, as I was not able to see interesting things and those I saw I was [...]

Hi, I am Carlo and I am a dreamer.
I have always been one and there are no doubts on the fact that I will always be one. Moreover I am one of those stubborn people to which dreaming during the night is not enough, I am one of those who cultivate their dreams, doing everything [...]

Different cultures: a way of thinking about ourselves

Different cultures always intrigued me. For someone born and raised in a small border town in Italy, where multiculturality is not exactly known or easily accepted, moving to London has been like opening a box full of surprises. It is not only the difference in people appearance, but in their lifestyle and culture as well. [...]

Bangkok in a Heartbeat

The world passes by in a heartbeat, ready or not you are always in the game and you have to play. Things changes, sometimes we are ready for them and we eagerly expect them, some other times they find us completely unprepared; either way we are there and we can decide if to play or [...]

Hard Light, Soft Light and the Misconception of the Magical Diffusers…

When I decided to understand lighting I watched many videos online, trying to get every bit of information possible. Later I would have tried to apply every lessons in practice, but one thing that hit me was a big misconception when learning lighting with small hot shoe flashes: the hardness and softness of light.
