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 [...]
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 [...]
Few weeks ago Fabiana and I held the first “Shaping Lights” workshop. We decided to keep the number of participants pretty low this time, mainly to test ourselves, to see how we would have been able to cope with questions and with the general teaching part. I planned to have three hours of theoretical course [...]
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 [...]
Lately I shocked myself and Fabiana saying that I quite like those huge black glasses so trendy in these days. Yes, I know it is very strange said from someone like me, but in the end I see them as part of a culture that will last few months and that will be replaced by [...]

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 [...]
I have asked myself many times what is the meaning of being a Street Photographer and I have given myself different answers in different times. Answering has been a long process and not always I have been able to answer correctly to other people, but in the last weeks things have become clearer and clearer [...]
Last month has been really special. I married the woman of my dreams and I went with her in our fantastic honeymoon: the time of my life. I could not have asked for more and now, on the verge of returning to work, I would really love to start all over again, from the wedding [...]
Yesterday we went to the first day of the Mayor’s Thames Festival 2008. Apart from the many people walking down the South Bank, the event has been pretty dull. The interestingness has been raised by the fantastic weather and by the occasional, interesting passers-by. I had a nasty hay fever, so many of the shots [...]
