This was probably the photo shoot made in 2015 that I loved the most. I liked Chisato’s noble elegance, her shyness, her Japanese clothes and her grace.

Lucrezia [Parma, 2015]
Lucrezia was overwhelmingly beautiful and had powerful blue eyes. It was a pleasure to take some portraits of her in the studio. The theme was…celebrating beauty!
Katerzyna [Parma, 2015]
Katerzyna was an aspiring model. She had come from Milan and I couldn’t wait to take some shots of her! She was stunning, expressive, with fine clothes and she was very easygoing!
Giorgia [Parma, 2015]
She was one of a kind and I believe she still is. I valued her directness, spontaneity and her willingness to challenge herself. On top of that, she was very appreciative of my work!
Sisters [Parma, 2015]
Here you got 3 sisters with different colours and characters who were beautiful when they were united!
Isabel [Parma, 2015]
“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on” – Carl Sandburg
I was delighted to have a photo session with this close family. Isabel was really active, she would not sleep: she knew that something unusual was happening around her and she wanted to be up to it! I could already tell that she would have developed a trustworthy, easy relationship with her mum. And she was obviously her dad’s girl!
Raffaella [Parma, 2015]
I think the lead I started from for this shooting was…a mysterious traveling maid from the middle ages or maybe it was a Fantasy reading! Well, it doesn’t really matter, as the sunset light was mystically breath-taking! Thank you, Raffa, for having posed for me!
Zeno [Parma, 2015]
Zeno was truly a gorgeous child (and still is now!), one of those you felt like stopping in the street to compliment him! He was the son of an old time friend and it was a pleasure for me to take some photos of him in the studio. The session went well, he was lively and was into it. I don’t remember how and why, but more than to the Teddy bear’s, he’ d be attracted to the rugby ball and the Z! Don’t ask me why I set up a dark background for this service…Enjoy these beautiful photo memories!
Melissa [Parma, 2015]
Taking pictures of babies in the studio can be difficult. You can nor predict know how they will react, whether they will be relaxed or a little tense, in the mood to play or hungry or tired. This photo shoot was not exactly an easy walk, even though I don’t recall that Melissa (who was 5 months old at the time and has beautiful big, dark eyes) cried, in fact she lasted in a tulle veil for several minutes! Enjoy this beautiful memories!
Massimo [Parma, 2015]
Massimo is the brother of Maria. I was looking to take portraits of a model in studio and she made his name. At the end, I was satisfied by the outcome and, during th shoot, I was impressed by his calm, humility and goodwill.
Pietro [Parma, 2015]
“The dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. He should live and sleep in front of a mirror” – Charles Baudelaire
Giacomo [Parma, 2015]
Giacomo was handsome and had an athletic figure. I had the pleasure to take some portraits of him in the studio and also outdoors.
Gaia [Milano, 2015]
Gaia was young and fearless. For me it was a pleasure and an inspiration to take some portraits of her near an abandoned train depot in Milan. I love this photo shoot marked by some gloomy and dark traits!
Nathan [Borgo Val di Taro, 2015]
Nathan is the son of friends, he was only 60 days old when these picture were taken. He was incredibly expressive and was making grimaces as a real, little actor, showing off a determined character! I am not exactly a “newborn babies person type” and have very small experience of them but I was positively impressed by the fact that this small person already showed his own personality. I have rarely seen this kind of expression, that led me to imagine a curios and strong attitude more like an adult!
Lisa & Margherita [Marore, 2015]
“As I grew up, one of my strongest allies has been my sister” – Patti Smith
I have known Lisa and Margherita since they were little girls and it was a joy for me to take some portraits of them, back in March 2015. For being two sisters, they are different, not only in terms of age difference but also in their characters, but they do have points in common. They both love fashion and know what they want. I enjoyed spending one hour with them and their mum Mara!
