Fotograf Luigi Reccia

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Napoli, Italien? :)

—I don't think I have the answer to this question. Every photographer has a different point of view, the beauty of this world is that you can learn something from everyone.

—Er du fotogen?

—The only two people who said I'm beautiful are my mother and James Blunt.

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—I started shooting pictures in 2009, I've been involved in music production for years and then in 2012 I started shooting weddings. I started as a second shooter for a friend and then little by little I built my own business.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—The moment between two moments.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—I travel a lot, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to bed, every day. It doesn't matter if I use my car, a train, a plane or my mind. It's a lifetime trip.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—Being surrounded by happiness and nice people. The connection. Being together. The humanity needs to stay together and talk, touch, see, hear.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—Well I guess there's no perfect job in this world :)

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—Future doesn't exist (yet).

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

—There's nothing special about wedding photography. People make it special.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—I take everything I can to improve my skills.
Sometimes I kidnap children and burn cars.
(Should I say I'm being ironic?)

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—It's a complicated business, growing year by year, changing forms constantly.

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—Being emotionally involved in his/her pictures. Nothing else.

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—Being a jerk, I think.

—Hvilke detaljer, der som regel går ubemærket hen, vil en fotograf bemærke?

—An apparently meaningless moment can be captured forever with one click and being remembered for the rest of the life.

—Hvad påvirker værdien af et foto? Hvilke elementer indeholder det?

—It's all about what people feel when they see that picture.

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundrede efter din mening?

—Not me for sure, I'm still working on it...

—Hvem vil du gerne fotografere?

—Myself.

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

—I don't touch wedding dresses.

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

—Whoever wants to :)

—Hvad bekymrer du dig om, og hvorfor?

—I'm a restless mind. There's no reason for it and it took me years to understand it. I accepted it and I don't know why I'm like this. I'm worried about a lot of things every day, personal and in general about our future as human beings.

—Hvad har været det mest imponerende øjeblik i dit liv?

—When I lose everything and I started to know myself.

—Hvis du var en animeret figur, en fiktiv person eller en person i en film, hvem ville du så være, og hvorfor?

—The little Prince, of course!
Living on an asteroid, in the outer space, watching stars all the time, dreaming, being free...

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—I have my grandfather's name. He has been the most influential person in my life. If I could have a time machine, I would like to go back when he was still on this earth and say him "look what I've become".

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—Being a successful person is useless if you don't have respect for yourself and other people. So I can say that the successful person is the one who is also respectful and respected.

—Foretrækker du, at folk kan lide dig, eller at de respekterer dig?

—Read the previous one :)

—Hvad er den største fejl, du nogensinde har begået i dit arbejde?

—Being naive.

—Når du skal rejse, hvad tager du så med dig, og hvorfor?

—A book, my compact camera and my diary for sure.
Just because I need to have time for myself.

—Er der noget, du ville ønske, du ikke havde købt blandt de tingester, som du ejer? Hvorfor?

—I'm a left-handed person and I bought this rechargeable pen from moleskine, which is beautiful but it's a gel ink pen so everytime I write I get my diary, my hand and sometimes my clothes dirty.

—Hvordan uddanner du dig selv til at tage bedre billeder?

—I go to seminars, I participate to conventions and other workshops, I watch movies and tv series, I read, I experience life.

—Hvis arbejde har haft størst indflydelse på dig som fotograf?

—My favorite wedding photographer right now is Giuseppe Marano, from Sicily.

—Hvad er det eneste, du ville ønske, du vidste, da du begyndte at tage billeder?

—"Cameras are expensive."

—Hvad vil du gerne fortælle med dine fotografier?

—I just want to tell a story in my way. I know pictures tell at the same time what we see and what we have inside. With my pictures I hope to know myself better than now.

—Hvad motiverer dig til at fortsætte med at tage billeder?

—I'm curious.

—Burde dine forældre have været mere eller mindre strikse?

—My parents are not perfect, their love made me the person I am just as their mistakes.
Oh, and they are rock 'n' roll too.

—Hvis du kunne gå tilbage i tiden, hvad ville du så gøre anderledes?

—I wouldn't change anything.

—Hvad med liv på andre planeter?

—I don't know what to think about the life on THIS planet.

—Hvem er dine helte?

—My father is my hero.

—Hvem har du ingen respekt for?

—False people above all.

—Hvad laver du i din fritid?

—Reading, writing, having good time with my friends.

—Hvilken side af dig viser du aldrig offentligt?

—I am constantly divided in two different and opposite ways: if people see me happy, they don't see I could be sad, if they see me talking a lot, they don't know I would be silent instead.

—Hvornår er du helt tilfreds med dit arbejde?

—When I know I could stop time at least in one picture.

—Tror du på de traditionelle mande- og kvinderoller?

—Roles? Where we are going we don't need... roles!

—Har du let ved at få nye venner?

—It depends, sometimes I'm very quick to empathize with people, other times it can take even years.

—Hvor vil du gerne bo?

—Wherever there's beauty around me.
But if I have to pick one, Amsterdam would be a choise.
