What has been your most memorable session and why? I'm tied to all my sessions, for one reason or another... but
when I manage to combine my passion for urbex locations, with a model that I like and who knows how to anticipate
my requests and with exceptional natural lights, well .. that's a set I don't forget. All this happened a few weeks ago:
we were in an abandoned hotel, not far from my town, with Psikodelia, one of my favorite models: fantastic set!
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Canon! you never forget your first love and I'm very attached to Canon... but I
wouldn't have any problems cheating on her. I believe that a good post-production is now much more important than
whatever machine is used on set. I'm still tied to the reflex world but I believe that very soon the time will come to
change in this too. Considering my subjects, I have no particular needs in terms of optics and it is often sufficient for
me to just use my EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM, which I am very fond of.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business? Talent
and passion are nothing without adequate technical preparation, so first of all I recommend studying, in any form,
but studying. At first your budget will be limited so it is better to invest it in a pair of good lights and quality optics
rather than an expensive camera body. Don't forget post-production, which is fundamental.
What do you think of our new magazine? I discovered MODELLENLAND thanks to Facebook and I must say that I was
very pleased to see my work published there. I like the format and above all I appreciate the quality of the selected
photos, I consider it an excellent showcase for professionals, and an good opportunity for those who still have to
make their work known to the public, like me.
