What style do you use?

it is defined Modern, I like to mix the reportage with more classical images but both realized with care and without force the situation or your expression.

Which the percentage of a style and the other it is?

A number doesn't matter, everything depends from how  is structured the day, if the situations offer a lot of occasions there will be a prevalence of reportage, in contrary case I will realize more classical images. All depends from as you have organized your day and from your desires.

What equipment do you use? 

Two professional cameras with prime lenses or quality and original zooms. Varied types of lights and flash are available to be ready for every situation, also in the most complex and desperate situation you will find the most natural possible images.

Do you work alone?

No, I am always accompanied by my assistant, both for the use of the ilumminators or panels and for every eventuality. will your assistant make photo? When it doesn't have to help me with lights or others, in particular during the ceremony. In some situation it is very comfortable to have two different points of view, for example the entry and the exit.

do you shoot in digital or in film?

If you think is important, from 2000 year the digital camera (professional reflex) has taken the whole space in my bag. But this is a detail, every photographer chooses his own equipment following his own taste and his own demands. The only important thing is professional quality material and that is used well.

If we whish only the service with the delivery of the original ones?

No, because the final press belongs to the creative work of the photographer, a not professionally can frustrate all job done.

How much shoot you will take?

I don't have a limit, all those that it will be possible, but without "wastes". I don't go off only for making number, if you want I can press the button and realize 2000 shots for you in less than two hours... but I don't believe that is what you want for your photos.

What about trip’s expenses ?

The expenses of trip for services out zone they are at charge of the buyer. I am based in  Como, and I calculate around 100 Km. of coverage. Over a certain distance it will be necessary also one or two nights in the hotel, always at charge of the buyer. In some zones of Italy, due to the collaboration with some colleague, the costs of the hotel won't be debited.

How long later is delivered the service to us?

Only for the packages I will present a selection of the shots in  30 days, after your selection of  the photos it takes other 30 days to have the album ready. For other kind of packages, it takes  from 90 up to 180 days, it’s going to depend by the period,  the test of the pagination will be delivered to you with the contact-sheet, once that you will have given the confirmation, within 30 days it will be ready the album..

Who makes the choice of the photos?

Normally me, after you will have the test of the paginated one, you can give some preferences or suggestions.

Can I have the original?

The original ones are ownership of the photographer (article 98, law 633–22.4.41, and in conformity to the sentence of the court of cassation n° 4049–28.6.80). Will be possible at a little extra cost to have them. However I go off everything in RAW  format, the correspondent of the negative, and every single image needs  an accurate work for the development. This criterion lengthens the times of workmanship and requires a certain skill, but it allows to have the whole available quality from the digital reflex.

Do you make the post-production and the retouch of the photos?

Yes, as once the corrections were made under the enlarger they are now done to the computer, it doesn't change anything if not the used tool. I don't love forced elaborations and therefore I don't use them, a valid image doesn't need further " creativeness ".

Do you take group’s pictures?

I normally perform the photos of the family of the bride, of the groom, of the witnesses and a general photo  group out of the place of the ceremony. Possible other family’s groups  only on request, but without problems. The only preference is to realize them out of the place of the ceremony or before making to arrange the people in the room of the banquet, otherwise will be a problem to organize it, to look for guests and to move them. Anyway I don't realize the groups table during the banquet.

If there will be other people taking  photos does this will be a problem for  you?

It depends: I don't have particular applications, it’s important they will be not an  obstacles of any kind to our work. We don't owe and we cannot compete for choosing the better position. In particular way during the ceremony, if you require photo and video we would be 4 people, between us we know the single demands and we are able to position us in the good points without hampering us or to remain always in the visual field of the other. Besides we have the experience and the professional preparation to not disturb during the ceremony.

To have some reprints of the photos I have to contact you?

If you require the delivery of the original ones you can get organized as you believe, but I cannot take me responsibility for the quality of a press of which I don't have the control.
