Have you ever heard of the HOYA Sparkle filters before? Me neither. But it looks like this is about to change as Hoya is investing more in marketing to push these. Since I moved to my new studio, quite a few agencies have approached me offering collaborations. Among them, professional...

Welcome back to another cinematic vlog in the streets, this time for a day to night walk in London. Aside of going out for photography, to me walking is kind of a therapeutical exercise: whenever I feel down or lacking inspiration I just hit the streets. It clears my mind. And if I'm looking for inspiration this clicks briefly after I start taking photos...

As you may know, I’ve been chasing this epic London sunrise holy grail timelapse for about a month. To the point it had almost become an obsession. And of course it was never guaranteed that I would get it! But the efforts finally paid off. You can find all about...

First (and so far only) day of snow of 2021 so of course I had to go out for a Snow In London photowalk! I love the snow, maybe because it is always been so rare in every city I have lived in. In Florence for example, people still talk...

Happy New Year my friends! We are finally leaving 2020 behind us… Such a challenging year for the whole world! Exactly a year ago, I was fighting with the crowds to secure my spot up St.Paul’s Cathedral in London to get the sunset aligned with the London Eye. Something I...

I’m publishing a video editing breakdown of my latest YouTube video, “Fog”, to thank you all. The feedback you are giving me on these latest cinematic vlogs and the response on YouTube have been incredible. I am still a very small channel and seeing that my recent videos are watched...

Today we’re looking at fog photography in London. In particular, a lot of cityscape and some street “fog photography”. We all have in our hearts the sight of beautiful landscapes in a thick fog or a delicate mist. But this has become more and more rare in the city. In...

London lockdown, again… England is entering its second national lockdown phase today as Coronavirus/Covid-19 cases have risen sharply. This gives me the opportunity to finally present my London lockdown photography project on YouTube. Back then, I wasn’t producing content for my channel yet, so unfortunately I didn’t film my usual...

Yesterday I went out with my friend Martyn for a photographic morning with Richmond Park deers. This park just outside of London is famous for its deers but it also has a nice view over the city (albeit from far away) that is perfect for sunrise in some periods. It’s...

Time for some rain photography! Street photography to be exact. Most foreigners think it always rains in London but in reality it’s mostly cloudy or just drizzling (and we do have sunny days, harsh ones too). Now, coming from Italy, I don’t really fancy going out when it’s grey, let...

I decided I’d try a different format for my YouTube vlog and embark in a Photo Mission to shoot the moonrise in London. To be completely honest, the idea came up while I was editing my footage. But all I filmed made perfect sense in such format, so I decide...

I wrote about Luminosity Masks in Photoshop already on this blog. It’s a very powerful technique that I use a lot in my landscape and cityscape photography. I find it a lot more efficacious than letting my camera or a software decide what a good HDR photo is automatically. Yes,...

I often say that it’s my duty to shoot sunset or sunrise photography! I love landscapes and cityscapes, so I must take these pictures when the conditions are right! And I think sunrise photography can be more rewarding because it requires more efforts. First of all, from Spring to Autumn...

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...

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 in too many descriptions of the event. I’m sure you all know about it by now and I’m not an astronomy guru.What makes this a once in...

In this week’s YouTube video, I take it to the streets of London for some street photography in harsh light. Oftentimes you hear 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...
