- Thursday 15th: I am going to start doing some camera reviews here on a non regular basis, since i am often asked questions such as is it better "canon vs. nikon" and stuff like that, so i hope to have many new readers, stay tuned!
- Thursday 8th: We have been quite lucky with the shooting yesterday with Tania since we expected rain instead sun popped up but the overall condition was cloudy. Now i am sure that many amateur photographers think that in order to get great results outdoors the best weather is a "sunny summer day" but instead the best weather for shooting outdoors is a cloudy condition, because clouds make the same effect as a huge umbrella that shields the sun so that creates a softer effect otherwise you will need to shoot in the very first hours of the day like 6am or around 7-8pm in the evening, depending by your location. If you are wondering why let's just say that sun is not your best friend especially when it comes about shadows....in fact your lovely model will not be able to look properly to your camera if the sun is too high, shadows will be hard so we will have what we call in photography lingo "hard light". Soft light is preferred usually, unless you want to achieve a special effect of course. If you want to know some more facts about light and info for summer photography shooting, check out my article about natural light shooting and shooting with warm light.
- Tuesday 6th: There's a new shooting scheduled with a model in lovely Trieste that is going to come up soon, you will find here on the website photos and more info about the setup. Photos will take place in a villa by the sea where i will use an effective lighting, with natural sun light that will bounce inside the very ambient. I have to say that shooting with natural light is my favourite although you need to be careful since most of the time - especially during summer - the inclination of the sun changes all the time. Together with that, i am going to use a flash gun so that i will "fill in" the dark areas, and high iso settings on my Nikon D3 camera that never misses a beat. This is going to be a portfolio shoot and with also backstage video with a lingerie model posing indoors and outdoors. If the weather will permit it we are also going to do swimsuit photos at the beach.
- Friday 2nd: I recently had a meeting with the fashion designer Pierre Garroudi at his London atelier and i had the opportunity of having a good talk with him, he explained me a few things about the fashion industry and talked about his experience in New York as well. Find out more from Pierre Garroudi Atelier review and enjoy the photos of his innovative fashion collection from my fashion photography and from the gallery slideshow.
- Thursday 1st: Sometimes it just takes a little bit of magic, sometimes...it just takes a good laugh! If you live in London and you're thinking what to do on a weekend or also on a weekday, i definitely suggest going to 99 Club Comedy, which is located in Leicester Square, just near the Odeon Theatre, really super easy, 30 seconds walk from the Leicester Tube on the Piccadilly Line. Now after these logistic informations for who lives in London and for who plans on visiting, let's go to the facts, read the 99 Club Comedy review and check out the comedian photos from commercial.

April
- Monday may 26th: new photography workshops coming up soon. Fashion photo workshop in London of sunday may 2nd has been canceled since we didn't reach the minimum number of participants needed. If interested in shooting fashion or commercial in London this week please get in touch with me via email as soon as possible.
- Fashion photography workshop in London. There are only 10 spots available for this great opportunity to work with a professional fashion model, a professional make up artist in an awesome location in the UK's leading capital of fashion.
Workshop Theme: I Wanna Be A Rockstar, a journey through emotions with a contemporary spirit.
During the workshop, photographers will shoot 3 different "moods":
1. boredom - shot in black and white
2. euphoria - high key on color, heavy makeup
3. success - high class fashion clothing
We are going to test natural light for the first half of the workshop since the studio that i have chosen for the shoot has lots of natural light that we will use in a creative way, using reflectors so that participants can see how to use light in the way you want. Strobes lighting will be used for the second half of the workshop in fashion-shooting style. Lighting is the most important aspect of every photo shoot and when it comes to fashion photography it needs to be used in an appropriate way. We will go through portraits, full figure, lingerie, settings with soft and diffuse light by using umbrellas, reflectors and softboxes and high iso that give that classic advertising look that you see in fashion magazines such as Vogue.
Price: 125£ per person.
Read the photography workshop testimonials written by photographers that attended the previous workshop in New York City with model Sunny Leone.
