What’s your favorite gear?

From the above list my favourite gear in absolute are the Nikon D4 together with the 70-200 f/2.8 lens.

How much emphasis do you put on post-production?

I’m not a fan of post-production, but it’s something that a photographer cannot avoid. I think it depends much on the purpose of the image we are working on, but if it’s reportage or sports I usually don’t spend much time, just a few seconds if I shot in RAW to better balance the image and getting all its dynamica range out.
If I shoot a portrait or a landscape normally I work more on post-production, but I don’t spend hours, I prefer working better before and getting a good result in camera.

What is your favourite way to de-stress?

I usually play the piano (or the drumset) or listen to Bach (J.S.) or Chopin

What do you find most enjoying in taking photographs?

I like all the preparation work, thinking on the result I would like to achieve and setting my gear to try and get it the best I can.

What are your plans for this year in photography?

I hope I will grow in the professional world, as for now I’m only a poor little local freelance: I hope someone will look at me and say: “Hey, this guy can do something really good”.
