Days are flying, faster than light, in front of my eyes. There are so many things I should do in such a sort time that I am sure I will not be able to finish everything I planned to before leaving for Italy in just few days. The Big Day is now just a week [...]
I have said this already in the past days, but one revelation in the last week has been my interest in freezing real movements, stopping the time while the world is quickly moving in front of my camera. I want to see action, I want to see the real world, not the posed one.
I want [...]
Yesterday’s comments to my photos has been very interesting and made me understand few things. One that I already knew is that it is extremely hard to reproduce those set of emotions that can be candidly captured on the streets. Staging a set inside a small studio and giving just a couple of hours to [...]
Danny is one of the photographers I had the pleasure to host during the light workshop. I have always seen his photography as extremely interesting, very different from mine and so quite peculiar to my eyes. During the course he volunteered to stand in front of the camera when the models were not ready and [...]
The other day Fabiana and I went to Brighton to gather information on wedding bands. We went to five shops or so and talked about sizes, shapes, metals and prices, but in the end, instead of entering in other shops we decided to go to the seaside.
The day was glorious, a great sun and a [...]
“A traffic light under a blanket of snow in Trafalgar Square. London, 2nd February 2009“

Fabiana and I are working on a new studio project and, even if still in the very early stages, we are quite excited by it. This shot is one of those who kick-started few of the ideas behind, but I have to admit that I will be naughty enough not to reveal many things… I [...]
I had seen a nice photo few days before the session, so I decided that I would have tried to reproduce it. When we arrived in the studio, though, the chair we found were nothing like I had expected and the result of this shot was nothing like I had expected. The chair you can [...]
Fabiana and I have a great way of working together: we understand each other and we complete each other. We use the light system for some time each, and when one is “directing”, the other do not watch, but follow the scene with a faster lens and higher ISO. I have found myself more proud [...]
For being in her first session as a model, Donna did a great job! It did not take long before she relaxed and even if in some of the first shots she was a little “scared”, the session went extremely well.
Donna was the first of five models (four woman and a man) we hosted for [...]
