About
I’m a professional photographer based in Bellagio (Lake Como).
I've lived in Bellagio for about 8 years and this is my home.
This site is where I show my personal projects related to photography.
I mainly do photo shoots of couples, you can see my services and my portfolio on this site.
Below are some questions that will tell you something about me:
When did you start taking photographs?
I got my first camera when I was 14, to take photos of family trips. At the time I only shot with color film. Then when I was 18 my passion for photography began and start to study.
What camera do you use?
For professional photo shoots I use the Leica SL2 or Leica SL2-S.
The best purchase from a professional perspective.
I use principal manual focus lens from Leica-M system. But I have also many autofocus lenses.
For my personal projects I use a Leica M11-P and I also have a couple of film cameras : a medium format film camera Mamiya 645 AFD II and a large format film camera Chamonix H1 4x5 that I use for landscape and urban photos.
Do you prefer digital or film?
I shot with both digital and analog cameras. I think the analogue archive is easier to manage, and it also guarantees me more longevity.
I develop the negatives myself to have better coherence in my works.
Unfortunately I no longer print in the darkroom due to space constraints. But I have an Epson plotter, with 12 color, which allows me to print up to 24" wide with a high quality results.
Can I purchase a print of the photos I see on your website?
Certainly! Please select from my Print page and then contact me for further information.
