I rented the Fujifilm GFX 50S for a job (office interiors and corporate headshots). But I still had some spare time to use it before sending it back to Fuji. So, of course, I made a video! I used medium-format cameras in the past. When in Florence, I worked with the medium format to photograph paintings, sculptures and all masterpieces of the great museums we have in my hometown! So this format...

OK, what do you do when is the hottest day in London (36C)? Well, obviously, you go out and enjoy the weather! And shoot a few pictures along the way! At least, that's what I did.I like hot weather. Very much. It should go without saying because I'm half-Italian. But many people who grew up in hot weather conditions, actually don't enjoy them much. Not me. The “normal” temperature in London during...

The Tate Gallery reopens this week after a four-month closure due to the pandemic. Actually, all Tate galleries across the UK. I'm very happy this is finally happening, not just as a Tate member but also as an art lover and photographer. The Tate, specifically the Tate Modern, is a massive playground for all London-based street photographers. Its architecture may not appeal to everyone. I, for one, am not necessarily a fan...

Unveiling London's Magic: Bite-Sized Street Photography Workshops for Busy Lives… London, a city that thrums with life, history etched onto every brick. For photographers, the city is a playground of potential masterpieces waiting to be captured. But what if you, the busy Londoner, find yourself yearning to delve into the world of Street Photography yet lack the time for a full-day workshop? Perhaps you feel like your 9-to-5 office life leaves you...

Do you want to learn how to edit the Milly Way in your photos, so it really pops? Good! Because this is exactly the content of the video I just published on YouTube! I went with my friend Robert to Stonehenge, UK, for a night out, hoping to get some good shots of Comet Neowise again. And also the Milky Way and all we could squeeze in one night. My photo of...

My friend Dot Lung asked me to go live with her and talk about smartphone photography tips and how to take better photos with your phone. We both use iPhones, but all we talked about applies to Android as well. We did not talk about specific apps only available for one platform but actually discussed real examples of taking photos with a phone. Dot Lung is a fantastic Digital Media Strategist who...

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that's what photographing Comet Neowise over London (or anywhere else, really) is! I'm not going to dive into too many descriptions of the event. I'm sure you all know about it by now.This is a once-in-a-lifetime event because the comet was only discovered last March, and it won't be visible again for another 7000 years (seven thousand!). You still have plenty of time to witness it, as it will...

What do I mean by a recipe for Black and White photography? Fujifilm photographers should be familiar with the concept of recipes already. For everybody else, it is a combination of in-camera settings that allows, among other things, to recreate the effects of old analogue films. Something that Fujifilm is very passionate about, having created some of the most spectacular colour films in the good old years. Frankly, I don't know if...

In this week's YouTube video, I walked the streets of London for some Street Photography in harsh light conditions. Oftentimes, photographers say that the best time for Photography is during the so-called Golden Hour (right after sunrise and before sunset) or Blue Hour (the dim light before sunrise and after sunset). While these bring plenty of good-quality light, they are not necessarily the ONLY times to go out and take photos. Particularly...

A lot has already been said about the recent events that forced everybody to take to the streets and support the Black Lives Matter movement. Myself, I have fought racism at every chance in my everyday life. Even as a young Designer, my first feature in a prestigious book was for an anti-racism poster I designed. It's not even something I think about; it's just who I am. And it's due to...

You read it right: my Photography workshops are back. The lockdown measures are easing in the UK. This is finally allowing me to restart hosting my photography workshops. Shops are reopening, the safe distance is reduced to “1 metre plus”, and we can have gatherings of up to 6 people… We're getting there. I'm not travelling yet, even though I desperately want to. Therefore, my engagements are limited to London for now....

After updating to Photoshop 2020, I needed to use the Liquify tool. Just for a quick retouch for an Instagram story. So, I launched Photoshop and opened the Liquify tool… And couldn't use it. Moving the mouse, I could see the cursor jumping from one place on the screen to the other every 3-4 seconds. The lag between my hand movement and the response was so bad that it took me half...
