Sara [Parma, 2015]
Sara, oh, Sara, I will never thank you enough! This was one of my Top portrait sessions of 2015 and probably one of my best of all time. Everything was at my disposal: a very young, clever, ambitious and versatile model who put herself out there; the studio; the voile; the theme; the motivation, plus, we were all in a good mood that day (which was 11 July, my birthday)! A couple of weeks later, one of Sara’s photos became my first publication on PhotoVogue and this made of this shooting not only an accomplished one but added to it an emotional value, for me.
Davide, Diletta & Arianna (in the bump) [Parma, 2015]
Diletta was due to give birth to Arianna three weeks later (that’s exactly what happened!). She was in splendid shape: she had just put on a her baby bump! We met in the green area surrounding Cittadella on a July late afternoon. It was hot and humid and we were equipped with mosquito spray to last an hour out there 😆The glow of that evening was close to perfection and it was a pleasure to witness and capture the spontaneity and simplicity of Dilly & Davide’s love. Enjoy these beautiful photo memories!
Thier [Parma, 2015]
2015 was a “year of grace” for me, photographically speaking. To this day, it was the most prolific time in my artistic career: I would shoot almost every week and I had a lot of creativity and energy. I was driven to try different experiments and I got the chance to meet and work with great models who put themselves out there and were personable and pleasant to discover! I got some outstanding results, some of those were from Thier’s portrait session. I did not have a specific theme in mind when I asked him to pose for me in the studio so I focused on his intense gaze and dove myself into the “Portrait mode”!
P.S. One of Thier’s photos was selected by PhotoVogue❤️
Nude session [Parma, 2015]
I have realised a few nude and Boudoir shoots so far and this is the only one that was taken in the studio. Working with naked or half naked models is more difficult indoors, I believe. It’s about technique and mastering the lights but it also relates a lot to knowing the space at your disposal and to how using it to your advantage. By the way, I was pleased by the results of this session where the model was absolutely gracious and uncomplicated.
Shirtless models [Parma, 2015]
“The taboo against nakedness is an obstacle to a decent attitude on the subject of sex”- Lord Bertrand Russell, “Marriage and Morals”, 1929
Flavia [Parma, 2015]
During my photographic journey there was a time when the Boudoir genre had seized my me. So I asked Flavia to become my muse for a couple of hours and she agreed! We met at her place and more than taking shots we talked over coffee! Below you’ll find the best shots…and I will accept comments on the little lights😝!
Davide [Parma, 2015]
Throughout my photographic journey (which started in 2009) I met and got to know many people and, in most cases, I can recall some details of their personalities or about the shooting sessions. Of Davide I remember his passion for rugby and the fact that he had a romantic soul. Enjoy these “epic” portraits!

Narcissus [Parma, 2015]
The photographic shoot theme was Naricissus. I am grateful to Sèpe, who welcomed me into his home, for being a fitting model!
Davide [Parma, 2015]
I wanted to take portraits of a tattooed gentleman and Davide was named, so we met for a coffee and a chat, then, we had a photo session in the studio. I do not have tattoos but I believe that some can truly be considered pieces of art and they look better on some people than on others, as I noticed it on Davide!
Portraits by Luca Stramaccioni [Nonantola, 2015]
I asked Luca to take some portraits of me in his studio, back in June 2015. I was delighted by the outcome, he was masterful!
Ludovica [Parma, 2015]
Ludovica was a classic beauty and had a sponatenous, bubbly soul! I loved taking some portraits opf her in the studio.
Ilaria [Parma, 2015]
Ilaria was a rebel and wasn’t afraid to be taken in some unconventional portraits.
Carolina [Parma, 2015]
I enjoy working with young models…who are not professional models! They are dynamic and are willing to put themselves out there and this happens rarely with mature people. This is how I remember Carolina: she was smart, gracious and super busy!
