Inhabiting the moment

I have been a portrait photographer for over ten years, and I feel that my work has evolved alongside me. As time goes by, my eye becomes sharper, and I get closer to a style that truly represents who I am. My choice of equipment, the way I compose my shots, and my approach to a photoshoot have all developed gradually, in step with my maturity and experiences. Each project has helped me better understand what I want to express and how I want to present it. Over the years, I have learned to observe differently, noticing the details, expressions, and nuances that make the difference between a good photo and a truly impactful one.

I work in the field of photography not only because I enjoy taking pictures, but because this profession allows me to create and preserve memories. Photography gives me the ability to capture unique moments, emotions, and fleeting instants that will never happen the same way twice. For me, photographing is, in a way, stopping time and leaving a mark that can be revisited by those I photograph, as well as by myself. It is a way to express what I feel, tell a story, and build a visual universe that is entirely my own. With each project, I feel my eye developing further, and my style becoming more precise.

When I decided to work with the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II |  Art, I wanted to create images in environments that inspire me and allow me to explore different moods. I chose two distinct approaches: an outdoor shoot in a winter forest, and a studio shoot centered on dance, in a more intimate and subtle atmosphere. These experiences allowed me to experiment and test my artistic vision in very different contexts, fully utilizing the qualities of this lens.

For the outdoor shoot, the winter season was a major source of inspiration. I wanted to capture this time of year with a misty atmosphere, conveying both calm and mystery. The forest creates a sense of space and vastness, giving the impression of being alone in nature. My goal was to create portraits that interact with the environment, playing with the model’s poses to enhance the strength of the images, while leaving room for the scenery. The mist, trees, and winter tones naturally bring depth and poetry to the shots.
