When the importance of the personal diary prevails on the heavily curated sharing

There is no better approach than another.

I have always supported the need to know first of all the purposes of your photography. There is not a universal rule.

I say this because in many blogs photographers recommend to marinate your photos before to publish them. And always the same photographers state that an extremely curated selection is fundamental. If I can agree that not all the photos deserve to be shared, I always consider that it depends on what your goals are with photography, the destination you have to do with certain images and how your activity as a photographer is characterized.

For example with me the speech of marinating the photos does not work. I don't consider myself an artist, but a craftsman. Craftsmanship to which I have always given a positive and noble meaning, bringing it to me from previous professional experiences.

As a photojournalist but also as a commercial photographer I am used to work almost immediately my photos, making them available for the use I generated them. As a blogger I use the photos for my articles. My blog has always reflected my ideas of the period and is therefore extremely conditioned to what my daily street work is and is. Unlike many, my blog is not intended as a way to make myself beautiful or show the muscles of a good photographer but rather stems from the need to share my ideas and my stories, so that they can be useful and maybe even an inspiration for other photographers who, like me, identify themselves above all in street photography.

It is in my performance as a writer and photographer that my proposal should be evaluated in its entirety. Only in this way can you truly understand my approach and therefore the destination of so many photographs. In identifying the destination of our work we can understand and discern. If I then make the selection for a book or an exhibition clearly my approach will be different than that of the blogger.

The personal diary allows me to apply to my photography that sees me in constant assignment. Even when I am not precisely for a client or agency, I keep this focus on engagement. And this also helps me in not knowing real creative crises or phases of fatigue.

My photography remains in constant communication with my audience and this continues to inspire me, day after day.
