Interpretating my world

It's impossible to describe in just a few lines what photography gives me every day. But here I want to emphasize an important aspect for my professional career: preparation. By not being a photographer who takes photos only on a project or when there's a reason, but doing it constantly and daily, I find all of this as an experience and it puts me in a state of always being prepared.

Sometimes I choose a camera or a combination of cameras because I will have to work with them in a few days.You can understand how I actually use street photography for all the rest of my activity as a professional photographer, sometimes documenting an event, other times doing fashion photography. For the same reason, I try to keep my work fairly consistent and homogeneous, regardless of whether I shoot street or portraiture. It's not just a question of authorship, but rather a useful approach that's subordinate to my work as a professional photographer.

Amid all this, consider that my attitude is very experimental and restless. And so I have to manage to live with this dichotomy of my being.
