Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid
professional?
I consider myself a '' semi-professional '': I did
several jobs for several clients and often I am
contacted for a paid job. Although I am aware that
this is a very difficult field work-wise, I'm trying to
go my way.
What has been your most memorable session and
why?
One of my favorite work is a fashion-style shoot in
a fantastic urban venue: a modern building in
Rome, where I shoot one of my best picture: there
was a lot of lines and shapes and geometries, that I
love.
What has been the biggest source of inspiration in
your work?
One of my favorite modern photographer is Karl
Taylor, impressive teacher and photographer: from
him I found a lot of inspiration and learned a lot,
thanks to its tutorials, and he has the style similar
to that one day I would love to have, but there are
many photographers who appreciate and that I
follow: Joe McNally, Steve McCurry, Joel Grimes,
Andrè Brito, Giovanni Gastel, Sylvio Testa, my
mentor and my best friend Alex Comaschi (he is
one of my biggest inspirations) so.. the list is really
really long! I am very attracted by representing the
female beauty in my shots.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
I currently shoot with a Canon EOS 6D, my
frequently used lens is the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS
II, but I really love my 50 1.2 L.
What do you think of our new magazine?
I like very much! It 'very well organized and within
it you can find many pictures of very good
photographers!

What is one piece of advice you would like to
offer a new photographer looking to start their
own business?
After having just purchased only the basic
equipment to shoot: study, study, study; practice
practice, practice!
The camera does not do the photo, but the
photographer, the equipment is only a means that
helps the expression of the vision of an image.
Have a knowledge of light and extremely thorough
in your equipment, so that you will soon forget the
technique and just focus on what really matters
most of all in photography: content and emotion.
Do not feel never arrived, but accepts constructive
advice, always with humility.
Showing always open sharing the knowledge.
Search for your style and always committed to the
maximum to improve yourself as a photographer.
