I admit that I love Black and White photos. They are incredibly expressive and, in particular when taking street photos, there is nothing better than black and white to document the streets as I see them. Even if I would love to say “My entire spectrum of street photographs is in black and white” I [...]
Yesterday I have received an email from a person that recognized herself in one of my photos of last year London Pride. The email was short, but its contents hit me quite a lot: she was just saying thank you for having spent good words on her. I did not (or do not) know her [...]
I have in my mind a song from U2 every time I look at this photo. Sweetest Thing. They were in Covent Garden in a sunny Saturday. The sun was warm and the day was lovely and they acted sweetly and so naturally that I waited a little bit looking for the real kiss, but [...]
This morning I received a bad news. I had quite a lot of expectations for something I did two weeks ago, but in the end I failed to impress as much as I hoped. In a moment I felt few dreams crumble under my feet.
Don’t worry, it is nothing I will lose my sleep on.
So, [...]
In these days I am migrating my Aperture library to a different structure. More over I am also importing all my library in iPhoto, to see if it makes sense to remove a lot of old photos from my main library, pushing them into another type of “memory holder”.

This is one of the many photos I like, but that I hadn’t published because I had many others to and because I do not like to publish too many from a single series. Then, when the series have moved on, I tend to not to like the photos I took. My constant research for [...]
Meeka plays with the photographers, playing a different role and relaxing completely. London, November 2008.
The best thing I can ask to a model is to be able to play different roles. During one session the main target, at least for me, is to be able to variate the types of photos, the feelings, the settings. [...]
Meeka and Tai lie on the ground of the studio after an intense session of four hours. London, November 2008
Planning and carrying out a photo session is not rocket science, but there are few things one should consider when doing it. Yesterday Fabiana and I had a fantastic studio session with five models and a [...]
When she came into the studio after changing her clothes and I saw her tie I started laughing, but that small detail, the writing on that tie, was part of her. Proud, resolute, stubborn… yes, she is a Taurus!
Being a photographer means knowing what you want to see coming out from your frames. Directing the [...]
“For this shot I got closer to Meeka, asking her to look into my lens, trying to imagine it like a screen where a nice film was shown…“
Being in a studio is quite fun. I like to play with lights, but at the same time I miss the street, especially in these short, dark days. [...]
