I would define film photography as grainy and raw. Some of Yasaman and Giacomo’s photos taste old and new at the same time. Anyway, the golden hour light of that day was breath-taking! I am overall pleased with these results, considering that it was my 1st experiment with the eos 850. Enjoy!
A couple of weekends ago, I had the real pleasure to take some portraits of this gorgeous newlywed couple. Yasaman is Iranian whilst Giacomo is from Parma: granted to say, they are both beautiful! Working with them, at one point, I had the feeling that I was photographing two professional models😚 Their love is genuine and well-grounded. I wish them both that their bound can grow more and more and strengthen them! Enjoy their JOY!
We met 1 hour and a half before sunset in a urban area in Parma and took advantage of a stunning golden hour light. I am now becoming increasingly confident with my R6 Mark II, even though I did not renounce to try a new acquisition, a Canon EOS 850 film camera, hence 2 different photographic moments within the same shooting session.

I am in love with love and I love working with couples, how clichéd is that to say?! I know! And I will go out on a limb and say that 2 for me is the perfect number to work with in a shoot! Maria & Juan, enjoy these memories, dated March 2014, taken in Reading.
Lorna is English and Hugo is French and…they are a brilliant combination!! I had the pleasure to take some couple portraits of them in March 2014, whilst I lived in Newbury. Enjoy these memories!
When I imagine true love, Laura and Filippo are one of the couples that come to my mind. Going through my photo archive, I didn’t realized how many pictures I took of them, over the years. Maybe it’s because I like them both individually and it’s also good to have them together! We gathered a summer evening in a field just outside of Parma. About the rest…well, enjoy their pictures!
Beautiful Laura!
and a snappy memory together with the photographer!
I don’t really have a lot to say about this shoot, as I can sum it up in one sentence: I loved EVERY SINGLE THING OF IT! I loved them, their love, their passion for life, artistic side, the details at their flat, I loved Paris, the weather of that day, that summer season…There’s just one question I don’t have an answer to, when I look at their shots, will I also experience such passion? Enjoy this loving and lovely memory!
Simple gadgets can offer satisfying results without much of an effort. In fact, it can be difficult to think of anything simpler than balloons and soap bubbles! I am very proud of these photos, taken of my friends Laura & Filippo in August 2011!! Yet the simplicity that shines through is quite disarming! A field in Marore, one summer evening, soap bubbles, balloons, a poster with LOVE cut out (one I made earlier :-). You’ll think that I am crazy…Well this was fun and I take full responsibility for them!
a bit of a poser!!
and now let’s skip to the “serious” part of the shoot!
Uhm, did someone mention: Soap bubbles?!
and to finish, a very county-style shot!
