Intervista
-
—Secondo te, quali sono le componenti più importanti di una bella foto?
—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!
-
—Ti piace viaggiare?
—Absolutely!
-
—Che cosa ti piace di più nella tua professione?
—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.
-
—Che cosa ti piace di meno nella tua professione?
—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.
-
—Quale sarà il futuro della fotografia?
—Too insane to imagine.
-
—Cosa c'è di speciale nel genere di fotografia in cui sei specializzato?
—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.
-
—Come gestisci la critica?
—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price. -
—Quali criteri dovrebbe utilizzare un cliente per scegliere un fotografo?
—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.
-
—Che cosa non è ammesso durante la ripresa fotografica?
—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.
-
—Quali dettagli, che solitamente passano inosservati, riesce a notare un fotografo?
—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

You measure it with your own happiness. -

-
—Credi nei ruoli tradizionali di donne e uomini?
—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!
