Tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in photography. What inspired you to start taking photos?<\/strong>
I\u2019ve attempted to get into photography many times. I used to take a point-and-shoot camera and capture moments from my daily life. However, my efforts were inconsistent, and I often took long pauses.

Over the past two years, I\u2019ve fully immersed myself in the world of film photography, making it a central part of my daily routine. I enjoy experimenting with a variety of subjects, whether it\u2019s street scenes, architectural details, nature photography, or portraiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us about the techniques and equipment that you consider essential for your work?<\/strong>
I started with an Olympus AF-1 and explored various film cameras along the way. Currently, my go-to choice for 35mm photography is a Leica M6, while for medium format, I use a Pentax 67 and a Rolleiflex 6×6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can you share an interesting or unusual anecdote you’ve experienced while taking photos?<\/strong>
In my early days of working with film, every roll seemed to come with its own anecdote. Classic mistakes\u2014like loading the film incorrectly, accidental double exposures, or forgetting to check the settings\u2014often resulted in ruined or completely lost photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What inspires you when creating new images? Do you have a ritual or creative process you follow to find inspiration?<\/strong>
Now I live in Rome, and simply stepping outside is enough to find inspiration for a photo. I\u2019m deeply inspired by the rhythm and energy of big city life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve received in your career, or what advice would you like to share with our readers?<\/strong>
The most important advice I\u2019ve gotten is to enjoy the process. It\u2019s about not being afraid to make mistakes, as mistakes are the way to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What would you ask your favourite photographers? What would you like to know about them?<\/strong>
I\u2019d want to know about their early days\u2014what kept them motivated despite challenges, and what lessons shaped their growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
