    The reasons I started a newsletter in English

    It may seem a silly topic to discuss, however, I thought it’s worth spending a few words about it. I’m Italian, and, in my experience, a lot of us find it pretty difficult to communicate in English.So, have I gone crazy, especially considering that driving the right content properly is the key to being successful…

    Holidays, finally!

    A few words about some family time I’ve just come back from a one-week vacation at the seaside. And it happens every single time: when I start unpacking the suitcases, I already feel nostalgic for the whisper of the waves. Living close to the Lake of Como, in the North of Italy, means the closest…

    Unpublished #1

    A photoshoot, I think this is valid for all photographers, usually results in the production of a huge number of images. This means they need to be filtered before post-producing them.For my way of working, even after this selection process, not all of the pictures that get edited will be shared on social platforms. So…

    Living (and working) in a small town

    If you remember from my very first introduction post, I live in a small town in the north of Italy.I love this place, because it’s close to the Lake of Como, which is amazing, and I am surrounded by woods, hills and other smaller lakes equally lovely.I’ve always lived away from the big cities (Milan is…

  • Meta and GDPR

    Meta and GDPR

    It’s recent news that Meta was fined a record amount of $1.3B for violating GDPR rules and sending information about EU users to the US. I’m personally happy about this decision, and, if you follow me on my socials, I’ve never hidden my position against Meta and their products. The main point is I can’t stand for…

  • What value can I share with my publications?

    What value can I share with my publications?

    I’ve been thinking a lot about what to write. It’s not easy at all to find something that will give you concrete value in the jungle of content that’s available on the net. Before I started this new journey, my only way to communicate was through my images. Which is still what I like the…

  • Instagram: the good and the evil

    Instagram: the good and the evil

    I believe that all the noise that’s been around Instagram in the recent past contributed to give it more attraction and to keep people to still use it despite all the changes they’ve been making.My personal experience on the topic tells me that, while a lot of photographers are fed up with the logic that…

  • Why Portraits?

    Why Portraits?

    I’m pretty sure it happened to almost all the beginners: you wander around with your camera taking a snap of basically everything.I believe this is an essential step in the growth of a photographer because it’s the start of a process that helps you find your way and define which is the kind of photography…

  • Let me introduce myself

    Let me introduce myself

    Substack is a brand new place for me. Even if I love writing, what I’ve done so far has been just adding (nice) captions to my pictures. Not even on all pictures.Because my creativity goes mostly into photography. When my friend Nikki told me about this platform, I thought I should have a look to…
