Elisa Madeo

Photographer

Art and photography are my great passions and the focus of my days, together with my three children and my dogs. I like to tell without talking. Stealing emotions and freezing them in a "forever" are my favourite superpowers. My kryptonite? Gin and tonics... one is enough to switch me off. I love the sea, as long as the beach is deserted or almost, and walking in the silence of the woods. If you want to spite me, take me to a shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon. Pre-Covid, of course. I give away photographs, paintings, trees and books. The energy of nature amazes me every day. I get excited by every sunset and sunrise I see, with just the right amount of clouds, neither too many nor too few.

I started taking apart my father's Polaroid camera when I was 6 years old. I tried to understand how a computer worked when I was about 10, the screens were still mega cubes and I couldn't understand anything. I found a lot of friends that I still cherish in my heart at the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts, then, driven by curiosity, I moved to Rome and graduated in Marketing, to understand how the hell one could live on art and photography. In the meantime, after many vicissitudes, I think I have understood. It takes passion, lots of books, willingness to listen, great teachers, stubbornness and sleepless nights. You shake, repeat the next day, and the day after that, and so on, without ever getting tired. At least, that's how it worked for me.

I was born in Lucca in 1982 and graduated from the Liceo Artistico Statale in my city. After attending the Free Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, I moved to Rome, where I graduated in Marketing at La Sapienza University, while continuing my artistic career. I have attended many courses to improve my photographic technique and photo retouching. I have had great masters of life and photography such as Franco Fontana and Giovanni Gastel. I hold photography courses and workshops in my studio in Lucca. I am currently represented by several galleries in Europe and I collaborate with interior design studios all over the world. I have a studio in Tuscany, in Lucca, and one in Australia, in Port Macquarie.

Gabriele Forti

Photographer

On the edge of one of the most beautiful landscape areas in the world, the Val d'Orcia, Gabriele Forti's photographic atelier was born.

Surrounded by the beauty of the Sienese lands where I live and where I grew up, I immediately picked up the camera with the same thirst for artistic research that distinguishes the most sensitive souls. Photography has always been an almost total choice of life for me. After dropping out of university, because photography represented too strong an attraction not to be followed, I enthusiastically set up my own photographic studio and, declaring war on the limitations of a small provincial town, I began my adventure with one certainty: to photograph!

I had the privilege of having the initial guidance of the Sienese master of photography, Bruno Bruchi, and then I began to refine my photographic technique in the field. The start of my professional activity took me far away for some reportages and allowed me to travel to the East, to Thailand, and later to the United States.

My goal is to try to capture on film the deep feeling of the people in my photos. I love to sketch with photography the nuances of the soul of those I have in front of me; I try to do it with the sense of responsibility of someone who is aware of borrowing a precious image, which, like words, can communicate something fundamental. I think that just as there is a syntax that organises words into sentences, giving a sense of clarity and beauty to language, there is a grammar of forms that organises, in a harmonious sense, the parts of an image.

In photography, forms are the result of a play of shadows and light, through which the photographer can reveal reality and what is beautiful in it. Wasn't it the great American photographer W. Eugene Smith who prompted important reflections by asking: "What is the point of a great depth of field if there is no adequate depth of feeling?". I believe that this depth must exist and that feeling can be translated into an instrument of authentic communication.

Dario Pichini

Photographer

Welcome to my photographic world! I am Dario Pichini, a passionate photographer since the '90s. In 2000, I opened my studio, turning my passion into a captivating profession.
My career has its roots in the vibrant heart of Rome, where I contributed to the world of photojournalism until 2010. Since then, I returned to the wonderful Tuscany, dedicating more time to perfect not only reportage but also other facets of photography, such as interior shots, still life, and portraits. Wedding photography, in particular, has allowed me to capture the essence of reportage, immortalizing emotions in every special moment.
Currently, I live and work in a charming village nestled in the hills between Tuscany and Umbria. This strategic location enables me to move swiftly throughout central Italy, making it possible to capture your stories wherever they unfold.
My love for travel has led me to explore four out of the five continents, and I am currently organizing an exciting journey to the fifth continent with my lovely family: my wife and two children. This passion for exploration is reflected in my creative approach to photography.
I speak fluent English and possess considerable empathy, key ingredients that contribute to making each photography session an authentic and relaxing experience.
With dedication and professionalism, I commit to transforming every moment into an indelible memory. I am here to capture the magic of your weddings and make your commercial stories unique. Choose my expertise to breathe life into your images with authenticity and style.

Filippo Foti

Photographer

I started taking photographs over twenty-five years ago, initially focusing exclusively on fashion photography. In recent years, I have found it more and more interesting to focus on interior photography, frequently villas, resorts and tourist accommodation.

I think it is not always necessary to come to photography from technical or academic backgrounds. In my case, the new adventure of interior photography came out of passion. I was immediately fascinated by shooting in ambient light, a condition that allows me to reproduce the real atmosphere of the environment, without alterations, or filters, or special alchemy. Reality is often beautiful in itself.

Certainly the two photographic sectors, fashion and interior photography, are very different from each other, but I perceive them to be united by a common thread which is represented by my passions, which then reflect my personality. My other must has always been the maximum seriousness and availability that I always offer in every job, which I would not know how to face if not with pleasure and enthusiasm. On the other hand, for me ... all the rest is boredom.

Francesco Galdieri

Photographer

Photography for me is not just about producing memories, but is itself an important memory. It is particularly linked to my father, a hobby photographer, who always took photographs - and even developed them in his darkroom - on motorhome trips and family outings. I still remember the patience in putting the slides in the projector trolley and the evenings watching those instead of the TV.

In short, photography has always been an important part of my life.

Then I graduated in electronic engineering and photography remained a hobby. I never thought it would become my job a few years later.

Since my wife Mary is a Wedding Designer, I had the chance to meet some wedding photographers and, having semi-professional equipment, I offered myself as an assistant. Perhaps because they saw the light shining in my eyes, some of them trusted me and accepted.

I liked that job so much that it was not enough for me to go and photograph strangers: I wanted to have my own clients, to have a direct relationship with them, to get to know them, to become friends with them and, finally, to take pictures of them that really represented them.

So I left my job as an employee to embark on this adventure: I am now a full-time photographer and I love to tell people and love stories through my photographs.

Fabio Radaelli

Photographer

I am Fabio Radaelli and I have always lived in Bergamo's Città Alta. I learned my passion for photography from my father, going around with him to take pictures since I was more or less six or seven years old.

I draw my inspiration by working on everything related to the human figure, and therefore to people: weddings, events and portraiture. I am an 'explorer', looking for anything that allows me to connect with the deepest part of Life. I love sport, I play the acoustic guitar and the piano, I enjoy myself in the company of good friends on Caribbean dance evenings. I think the drive to live life to the fullest comes from never feeling like you've arrived, so I always enjoy studying new approaches to photography and teaching methods.

Teaching photography gives me the opportunity to pass on to others the pleasure of study, discovery and personal improvement. It is for me the greatest satisfaction.

I have created courses based on the needs I see in the market, one-to-one and group courses in basic photography, advanced portraiture and business photography. After years of research in the field of training, I have created my own method of teaching photography, which I call Inside Professional Camera. I therefore work in parallel as a professional photographer and as a teacher for my photography courses, both group and individual. Helping all those who want to try their hand at this arduous job and who wish to make photography their occupation, even a professional one, represents for me a strong stimulus to open up my horizons and my curiosity in the field of photography more and more. My passion for this artistic profession, which I consider extraordinary, has allowed me to be the point of reference for excellent locations such as Ristorante Da Vittorio, one of the few three-Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy.

Andrea Milioni

Videomaker

Storytelling This is my passion. An object, a place, a person.
But telling can be done in many ways. You can tell by writing, you can tell by words, but you can tell by pictures. By filming. And that's where I come in.
Telling and creating. Because telling with the camera is an art, and creating means showing.  
Showing does not mean fixing an image. Showing means attracting, enchanting, it means bringing the viewer, inside the scene, making him or her experience it firsthand.
To show means to focus on details by showing what the eye does not perceive.
Storytelling means expressing the essence of something, whether it is a company, a place, a person.
The camera is the medium for storytelling.
The eye looks, the mind processes, the arm executes.
This sets me apart. A whole that goes hand in hand and art becomes reality.
I started as a sports photographer of motorsport events in 2008 following Italian, European and world championships at every track in Italy and parts of Europe. Fixing moving images at high speed. Showing their clients a part of their track by offering them the saltiest images.
Then over time I discovered that stopping images was no longer enough. That video today is the most important marketing medium.
So I decided to specialize as a video maker and work for companies and individuals who want to give their businesses and their lives a different meaning and significance. That they want to really show what they stand for.
Therefore, I studied innovative and creative video shooting techniques, which lead me to make not the usual videos, but works designed and made in a completely original way, using high quality tools.
