Fotografer Luigi Reccia

—Pertama-tama – menurut Anda, siapa fotografer terbaik di Napoli, Italia? :)

—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.

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

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—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.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—The moment between two moments.

—Anda suka bepergian?

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

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

—Future doesn't exist (yet).

Sometimes I kidnap children and burn cars.
(Should I say I'm being ironic?)

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

—Bagaimana Anda mendefinisikan kesuksesan? Bagaimana Anda mengukurnya?

—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.
