Giada, with her sweetness and elegance, always transmits a lot of heat and passion. She's never
vulgar, never trivial, never predictable and I like to work with her because she's one who has
done research on a personal still spot. She's never limitated herself by being just aesthetically
beautiful.It gives me great emotion to think back and re-watch each shot where my main
collaborators have partecipated, (now no longer just collaborators, but much more) at their
makeup station. A succesion of colors and brush strokes that carries each one of them, the soul
of whom, in that moment was holding the brush and painting. They hold the names of Carola
Fasce, Fiorella Scatena, Eleonora Pellegrini and Sara Bergaglio. They gave me something more, I
just had to take it with full hands. So thank you. Really. If I didn't mention the pictures taken with
Tanya it would be a crime! With her I've always had a wonderful relationship. We always push
ourselves beyond, and we're always able to create really gorgeous shots, with nothing at hand.
We really do for eachother. And in the end, I feel the need to remind when Make-up artist and
model, had by request collimated in the same person. And here by remembering it now, Carola
filled with emotion and embarassment, with her reddress, laying down on the chair of one of the
most famous theatres of the world [and so, with also the awareness that it wouldn't be possible
to use it again, but I must say, that it has never been used so well before!], gives me the same
emotions of that time. Exceptional location. Perfect make up. Model, well...I actually just made a
click.
What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work?
The person. I want to study it and understand it. To be able to go on beyond the mask and see
what hides behind the behavior of each one of us. Digging and digging. It's never easy, but it is

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Canon. But just because it was the body machine of a Canon to choose me. I've had in hand
about everything. Even Hasselblad, but there's nothing like having a Canon. And as lens a 50 mm.
I love to blur while shooting with a fully open diaphragm.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their
own business?
Don't give up in front of the first adversity. Continue and persevere. Try to not be a slave of light,
but turn it into your means of writing. Study and be always on the move. Shoot every day. Never
stop. You have to keep your finger warm as long as possible. Most of all: look at your pictures
with objectivity. There is nothing perfect. And there is nothing that has not been yet pictured. It's
up to us to simply try to picture it in a new, different and original way.
