Biografia
Milanese,
Living and working in Varese province, I have a Master degree in Public Relations at IULM university of Milan, with a specialization on Products and Advertising. After many years of experience in managing positions for companies around the world, I decided to follow one of my biggest passions, photography! Since I was an 8 years old kid it was a common thing see me roaming around with a flaming new Olympus Xa (it was the year 1982!).
During all these years photography was my biggest hobby, I moved to reflex World in 1991 with a Nikon Af601 still with the magic of the dark chamber and later on with the fantastic world of Digital reflex and postproduction.
Therefore, I decided to make of this fantastic hoppy, my daily job becoming a professional photographer associated to TAU Visual. I can say without problems that I am a lucky man. I was able to morph into reality one of my biggest dreams, and I am proud to say that I am doing a job I really love.
Though not exactly related to the photographer profession, my university path in Communication allowed me to know about history of photography, understanding the amazing work of some of the biggest actors of this world, and the evolution of photography itself. I like to think that photography is a very strong vehicle of mass Visual Communication, with an artistic declination to be red in what the artist is willing to show. I created my own photography studio:
Kairos Photography:Studio & Communication .
With wedding photography as the core business, we are Located in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy, across Como and Garda Lakes, which are often the reference choice for foreign people willing to get married in Italy.
As a studio, we are able to offer to bride and groom a 360° service: help in the choice of the perfect location for a memorable wedding, a list of Catering services of Excellence, limousine service etc.
We do care in every detail all aspects related to the ceremony, in order to make it the most memorable possible. Kairos Photography, though still a small reality, has already an international feeling. We have our headquarters in Italy and one subsidiary branch in the beautiful California, in Santa Monica.
Our plans are to expand our vision of photography in other key countries very soon, in order to assist Wedding Planners willing to find a crucial partner for customers getting married in Italy.
Other than ceremonies, in Kairos we do work as well with other topics such as Studio Pictures (Still life and portraits) and of course education, with theoretical courses here in our studio and as well with practical workshops in Italy and abroad.
My photographic philosophy, which is the same of the Studio, take inspiration from one of the biggest photographers of the past, Henry Cartier Bresson and one of his quotes:
“c’est mettre sur la mêmeligne de mire la tête, l’oeil et le coeur.”
Taking pictures: it is putting on the same level mind, eyes, and heart Photographic formation I pursued is born at first from creating my own photographic culture, without that, I think, a photographer can’ t be called as such: necessary sensibility to produce and evaluate good quality imaged, is grown only through a deep study of those great photographers of the past.
This is one of the reasons I am so passionate organizing photographic workshops related more to the theory and less to the shooting process. My scope is to try to make my students more prone and receptive towards those images and names representing the founders of this beautiful art.
For this same reason I’m used to take part several times a year to Workshops organized by important colleagues (Italians and foreign), to learn, to brainstorm together, trying to find every time that little flame which is making my profession so amazing and unique.
