Photographer Antonino Ingrande (Italy)
Can you tell us a little about you? My name is Antonino but they call me Ninni, I live in Sicily in a small provincial
town. I work as a freelancer and I am passionate about photography, especially Portrait.
How and when did you get into photography? I got into photography at the age of 18 by seeing a professional
photographer in my city Who managed to pass on to me the “ virus “ of the art of photography, giving me my fist
experience in the darkroom for developing black and white photos.
What does photography mean to you? Photography for me is my anti stress where all problems of daily life and
work are forgotten.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. Of photography, I like all its different forms of
expression but the one I prefer most is the Portrait, in particular, whether taken in the studio or set as I believe it
can enhance the female beauty by capturing its retrospective side in some cases.
Where do you get inspiration from? Certainly from the great masters of photography such Avedon Newton
Hamilton Scianna and other world photography greats who are the inspirers and who bring the art of photography
to the top, but my inspiration are from the great painters of the past.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture? Yes, especially in set portraiture it is often the case that
one imagines the scene before the shot, relying also on the collaboration of the models.
