Who will photograph you
I live in Fossacesia, on the Trabocchi Coast. I know where the sun is at seven in the evening in June, and where to shelter from the wind in October.
The sea gets into everything here: the light, the colour of five in the afternoon, the way people move once the day slows down.
I photograph weddings because, sooner or later that day, everyone stops performing: somebody cries, somebody laughs too loudly, somebody dances who can’t dance. Those things only happen once.
So I don’t direct anything, and I follow every day myself, from start to finish, with no hurry to leave.
What I always do
It’s me
The photographer behind these stories is the one who comes to your wedding. No associate in my place.
Two copies, the same night
I shoot to two memory cards at once. The same night I copy everything to two separate archives in two different places: your photographs never exist in a single copy.
A second set of everything
I always carry two camera bodies and spare lenses. If something breaks during the ceremony, I carry on and you won’t notice.
I publish the two of you and the few people beside you. Never the crowd, never anyone caught off guard.
