Camogli is a fantastic little town nested between the mountains and the sea and, with the right light, its colors can be awe inspiring. I was lucky to get there one late afternoon at the end of September, when the sun in the west was lighting up the houses on the waterfront, all painted in tones of red and yellow, …
I just returned home from too short a trip to Tuscany, where I went to meet some online friends for the first time in real life, show them a bit of the country and take some photos too. Unfortunately, the Saturday was plagued by bad weather and constant rain, so we did a visit to the city of Siena, hopping …
The town of Portovenere was so called because, in Roman times, there was a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus here, hence Portus Veneris, or the Port of Venus. Nowadays Portovenere is yet another of those charming Ligurian villages with pastel-colored houses, in front of a deep blue sea and under clear blue skies for most of the year. If you …
Just a classic view of the Canal Grande in Venice, taken from the Accademia bridge. Shot at the blue hour, because there is no better time of day to convey the timeless romanticism of Venice. Equipment used: Fujifilm X-E2, Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R. Exposure data: Six images taken at f/10, 15s, 200 ISO and stitched together in Photoshop.
A little demonstration that sometimes the best locations are in our backyards. In this case, less than one hour’s drive from home. With the right light, every landscape can be magnificent. Equipment used: Fujifilm X-E2, Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR. Exposure data: Three exposures at 1/8s, 1/15s, and 1/30s, f/11, ISO 200. Merged as HDR using Adobe Lightroom …
The natural landscape photo I am sharing this week is not that natural. The hillsides close to where I live have been largely shaped by the hand of man and most hills are covered in vineyards or fields of cereals. Still, this is not a cityscape, so it fits the category. This particular photo just won a contest too, so …
When we did our latest workshop in Cinque Terre in May, I tried my hand at shooting some b-roll video. My equipment is not great and my skills are even worse, so you’ll have to forgive me if the video looks a bit amateurish, but I think it captures the feeling of the event quite well. I am happy to …
We spent the last weekend exploring the Cinque Terre, the most picturesque region of the Italian Riviera and the location of my upcoming photography workshop. We have now pretty much nailed down the program, even though we need to maintain flexibility to accommodate the vagaries of weather and any unforeseen circumstances. Speaking of the weather, the gods were not exactly …
Ever since I saw some photos by Alex Lambrechts, I’ve been wanting to do a shoot mixing street and fashion photography and finally the dream has become reality. A few weeks ago, I contacted a friend of a friend who does some modeling and hired her for a couple hours. We went to Milan and I asked her to just …
