Delicate: I have chosen this word to best describe my attitude when I take pictures at wedding venues, as it corresponds to my idea of life.
Wedding ceremonies are unique events, and should be remembered as such: all the moments, details, nuances…
I tell the story using my camera with no pre-planned arrangements.
Bride and groom can enjoy their day to the full then, as it comes. Following these guidelines, I have decided to take pictures in a natural style to obtain sincere images and recreate personal emotions. Even after many years, such pictures will be enjoyed by the people attending the ceremony and future generations likewise.
My photography is like that, no artificial setting, use of natural light only. My language is emotion, light, telling stories.
Professionalism: on the day of the event, we are two photographers, having a double perspective then.
We take very high definition pictures and I personally take care of the post-processing and printing work (traditional and fine art).
The programme of the day is decided with the marrying couple.
On the basis of the pictures that get selected, one virtual project is created around the album that is made available to the couple for them to see before it goes to printing: the end result is some refined and elegant object, made of images where emotional communication is merged with graphical composition.
My photo studio is located in the historical centre of Genova, North West of Italy, I practice in my hometown, in the region nearby and I often work in other areas of the country.
I have customers coming from all over the world, and I received national awards and recognition from photographic institutions.
