Interview

  • Sind Sie fotogen?

    mmm...I don't think so :D

  • Wie sind sind zur Fotografiebranche gekommen?

    Probably in the same way of most of us: a friend asked me to shoot his wedding, then, since I had already a big passion about photography, after I saw that I enjoyed a lot to capture real moments, I decided to follow that path (step by step).

  • Was macht Ihrer Meinung nach ein gutes Foto aus?

    I think there is not an exact answer, everyone likes a photo because of many reasons, also personal reasons given by personal taste.
    Personally, using of course a good technique, I aim to capture always the emotions, the real moments, that's what really matters in a perfect service in my opinion.
    And in the Creative Sessions I aim to create beautiful photos, so I take care of the esthetique by following my personal sense of taste, but always trying to give some emotions to the viewers.
    Also controlling lights and shadows is very important, often essential.

  • Reisen Sie gern?

    Yes, I love to see new places and to change the wedding locations too :) shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting.
    But I travel also just for myself, obviously.

  • Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am meisten?

    What I said before, shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting, and we often work between Austria, Italy and Hungary, but not only.
    And this job allows me to meet new people, of course, and this is also a beautiful side of being a wedding photographer.
    And being able to give to these people memories they will be joyful to watch in the future, well, that makes me proud.

  • Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am wenigsten?

    Maybe the marketing part, it's a ton of work which is hidden to the eyes of most of the clients, and to be honest is not so great and fun like shooting photos :) but that's part of this job too, and must be done.
    I also don't like the envy and malice that some photographers have of others colleagues, I think everyone should just think about giving his best, and caring only about to improve, continuously.

  • Was ist die Zukunft der Fotografie?

    I don't know.
    Let's see, let's work at our best, and let's be ready for all the developments in this profession :)

  • Was das Besondere an dem Fotografiegenre, auf das Sie sich spezialisiert haben?

    To me, being the direct witness of great emotions, and not only: I'm the one in charge to capture those moments, it's a big responsability, and a honour too.

  • Wie gehen Sie mit Kritik um?

    It depends on how much competent is who criticize me :D jokes apart, I'm always studying, always trying new things, and always following photographers whose works I love, and I'm always ready to learn from them.
    There is always to learn something new, and there is always someone who can teach me something.
    So, I usually accept critics if well reasoned, or at least I reflect on them.

  • Gibt es irgendwelche Trends in der Fotografie?

    Trends are going and coming continuously, but beautiful photos always remain, forever, and that's what matters.
    I don't really care about trends, even if I take a look at them. But yes, definitely there are trends, like in about everything else.

  • Was sollten die Kriterien für Kunden bei der Wahl eines Fotografen sein?

    I always say to people: "look my portfolio, also the full works, and if you feel something when you are watching my photos, then I'm the photographer you are looking for".
    My photos will be the only memories of their best day, they must be absolutely sure that my style fits perfectly with their taste.

  • Was ist bei Fotoaufnahmen strikt verboten?

    The photographer must not become the protagonist of the scene, and he/she must always remember that it's not his/her wedding, but the bride and groom's wedding.
    In few words, the photographer must not be intrusive.

  • Welche Details werden häufig übersehen, die ein Fotograf aber erkennt?

    A lot of details.
    And as we know, details are what make the difference.

  • Was beeinflusst den Wert eines Fotos? Welche Elemente sind wichtig?

    Again, details: the light, the composition, a natural smile, real tears, perfect moments, emotions.

  • Was würden Sie gern fotografieren?

    I don't have a specific answer, in every people there can be a cool subject.

  • Gibt es für Sie in Ihrem Beruf Tabus?

    In wedding photography probably not.

  • Mit wem würden Sie gern fotografieren?

    There are so many great colleagues, that it's hard to choose just one name.
    Probably Ben Chrisman could be the name, and Daniele Vertelli too.

  • Worüber machen Sie sich Sorgen und warum?

    I'm quite skeptical about the global politics of the last years, I think the world is not going in a good direction.

  • Was war der eindrucksvollste Moment in Ihrem Leben?

    When I married my wife.

  • Wer inspiriert Sie in Ihrem Leben und warum?

    No one, honestly I never had models and I never needed models.

  • Wie definieren Sie Erfolg? Wie messen Sie ihn?

    About my job, a good measure is when many couples suggest me to other friends, it means I did my job as I wanted, perfectly :)

  • Gefällt es Ihnen mehr, wenn man Sie mag oder wenn Sie respektiert werden?

    First of all respected, then if I'm also liked...perfect :D

  • Was war der größte Fehler bei Ihrer Arbeit?

    Sometimes I'm so concentrated about the work, that I forget the grooms' names :D luckily there is always my wife next to me to remind me the names

  • Was nehmen Sie mit, wenn Sie auf Reisen gehen und warum?

    A camera, to take photos of course :D
    And a list of good and trustworthy places where to eat...I'm italian :D

  • Haben Sie Apparate oder Ausrüstung, die Sie lieber nicht hätten kaufen sollen? Warum?

    Probably there are some things which are not essential, but I use everything, some things more often than others, but no "regrets".

  • Wie bilden Sie sich weiter, damit Ihre Bilder noch besser werden?

    Mostly I follow the works of other colleagues whose style I love, and compare my works with theirs.
    Also the contests in the various wedding photography associations I'm member of are a good way to measure your level.
    But as a wedding photographer with a photojournalist approach, I follow also the works of the big names in photojournalism: McCurry, Koudelka, Salgado, Güler, Erwitt and so on...there is a lot to learn from them, that is very useful at weddings.

  • Welche Arbeiten haben Sie als Fotografen am meisten beeindruckt?

    Who made me discover the beauty of wedding photography, I mean, an artistic type of wedding photography, where emotions are mixed to creativity and both are perfectly in balance to each others, it was Ben Chrisman.
    When I saw his works for the first time, I was amazed (and I'm still nowadays, I always follow his new works), he showed me something I never saw before.
    Then of course everyone has to follow his path, and has to create an own style.

  • Was hätten Sie auf jeden Fall wissen müssen, als Sie mit der Fotografie begannen?

    That there is so much "hidden work": marketing, emails, equipment cares and upgrades, etc...a lot of time for that :)

  • Was möchten Sie mit Ihren Fotos zum Ausdruck bringen?

    I want to show my point of view.
    I always do what I like. And I like emotions, so I like to capture the emotions, and to show those photos to my couples: it's always great to see their happiness when they see it.

  • Was motiviert Sie weiterzumachen?

    The fact I can express my creativity, the fact that my work can make happy other people also after many years.

  • Hätten Ihre Eltern strenger sein müssen?

    They have been ok when I was small, even too gentle :)

  • Wenn Sie zurückschauen, was hätten Sie besser machen können?

    Maybe I would have started before with photography.
    But probably I wouldn't change nothing, there is always a reason why things happen in a specific way.

  • Was halten Sie vom Leben auf anderen Planeten?

    Why not? The universe is so big, so there could be another similar planet between the other billions :)

  • Wer sind Ihre Helden?

    As I said, no heroes.
    People I admire yes, but no heroes.

  • Wovor haben Sie keinerlei Respekt?

    For ignorant people pretending to know and judge the things they clearly don't know nothing about, and inside the photography world for photographers that are taking care more to do "blablabla" and talking behind back of other colleagues casting in a bad light the colleagues' works rather than caring about to improve the quality of their own works.
    Unfortunately there are many doing so, especially on the social networks (but there are also great people too between my colleagues, thanks God! And I have to say that Mywed gave me the possibility to get in contact with many great colleagues and great people).
    But the correct word I would use is "I don't like", and not "I have no respect".

  • Was tun Sie in Ihrer Freizeit?

    I love cooking, I go running, mountain biking, fishing.

  • Wann sind Sie mit Ihrer Arbeit in jeder Hinsicht zufrieden?

    Probably I'm never completely satisfied, I'm quite critic with myself, so there is always something I would do to improve something later.

  • Glauben Sie an die traditionellen Rollen von Mann und Frau?

    No.

  • Schließen Sie schnell Freundschaft?

    I'm not so extroverse as not-italians usually expect from italians, but if I like a person I'm getting friendly quite soon :)

  • Wo würden Sie gern leben?

    Now I'm not in Italy, the life took me somewhere else, but being close to it makes me feel ok :) I don't want to go far, Europe is good for me, especially the southern/central part :)

  • Gibt es ein Leben nach der Heirat?

    It seems so :D

  • Lieben Sie Hunde oder Katzen?

    Yes, I think I have a special attraction on them, they become my friends almost instantly :)

  • Das Beste im Leben ist:

    Life itself.

  • Das Ärgerlichste im Leben ist:

    Annoying people and know-it-all people.

  • Gibt es etwas in Ihrem Umfeld, das Sie ändern möchten?

    Well, winning the lottery would be nice :D but jokes apart, no, around me everything it's ok as it is :)

  • Was würden Sie in der Welt ändern?

    Is this Miss Universe contest? :D
    Do you know how many problems there are in the world? I should write an endless list.

  • Haben Sie ein paar Tipps für angehende Fotografen?

    Watch, study and follow the works of the "big names".
    Learn the technique and the "rules". Then, when you have the technique, you must experience, break also the rules, try, try, and try new things.
    Never think that you "arrived", that you learned everything.
    Develop your style. Use your ideas. Be yourself. And do what you like.

  • Wenn Außerirdische auf der Erde ankommen und Sie sind die erste Person, die sie treffen, was sagen Sie zu ihnen?

    Probably they don't speak my language :D But I'm italian, just with my hands I can say everything :D

  • Angenommen Sie erhalten den Auftrag, einen Film aufzunehmen. Welches Genre würden Sie für den Film wählen?

    A commedy, or an action movie.

  • Morgen werde ich...

    ..."the same thing we do every night Pinky...try to take over the world" :DDD
