MICHELE
Curious, optimistic and with a strong tendency to embrace new challenges.
Born in the Ferrara countryside where I learned hard work, I soon became a mechanical engineer thanks to my passion for mechanics and technology. This taught me discipline and method, but something was missing, creativity. I then shifted my direction towards sales and marketing and entered the world of work with a graduate program in management. Since then I have grown a lot, traveled and held various job positions, learning several business practices.
My passion for photography was born during a trip to Morocco in 2013 and since then, it has only grown. I studied a lot, practiced and participated in several national and international workshops and in 2019 I opened my business, entering the wedding sector, thanks also to my wife, that gave me guidance ad advices as wedding planner.
In the same year I proposed a project to my company (yes, I still keep my first job) and I became Corporate Training Manager with the task of developing online courses and digital events. Managing two jobs may seem overwhelming but I actually find it very successful. It allows me to exploit a synergy and to innovate in both sectors, such as with the live streaming services that I have developed and refined within the company and then applied in the wedding sector.
In my spare time I love to meditate, do yoga, travel and learn new things, especially in relation to photography and cinematography. Currently, I am learning to fly FPV drones.
MARCO
I’m a young photographer based in North-Italy.
Photography fascinated me since I was teenager, when, during the holidays with my family, always kept an old analogue camera in my hands. At the beginning it was just a game, but over the years it has become a real passion.
Then, few years ago I bought my first digital slr camera and, step by step, have built up my equipment.
In 2015 I attended the Karl Taylor Photography Masterclass Course gaining an excellent score, but of course I knows that, as photographer, I shall always keep on studying, learning and improving.
Year after year I’m been able to improve the level of my photography, I can now show in my pictures the scenes I have previously planned and draw in my mind. Now, my camera is the means to pursue an attentive, even a bit obsessive, search for details.
In 2016 I became an iStock contributor, one year later I joined the contributors of Shutterstock and 123rf, in 2018 I start contribouting with Getty Images.
I usually shoots landscapes, but I’m experiencing also other subjects, such as wildlife, still-lifes, portraits, advertising/commercial and events photography.
In 2019 I began a collaboration with my friend Michele, a professional photographer & videomaker specialized in services as: weddings, couples shots, portraits, newborn, pregnancies, promotional and aerial photos/videos.
