I just had to look for the right location to make my old X-Pro1 and the cheap 55mm F1.4 lens by 7Artisans communicate. The opportunity: a day in Cervia while waiting for the première of the short film “La rinascita di Eva” (www.youtube.com/watch) that I directed with friend and creative designer Federico Ramponi. The warm […]
The Fujinon XF60mm f2.4 R Macro lens needs a story to tell. A single image is not enough. Only the noblest and most precious lenses can have such a perfect balance between sharpness and blur. Ready for a macro set and for portraits too. Its autofocus speed is not a problem if you work with […]
PrefaceGear doesn’t matter, so they say. I had never bought into that idea until five years ago when I met the work of Matteo Ceschi.

I started shooting live shows, rock festivals in particular, and theater performances with a Canon 1100D and a Sony Alpha 3000. When I bought the Fuji X30 I discovered a different approach to this kind of live events. Suddenly, me and my camera became invisible! No one was concerned with us anymore. A small […]
Milan, May 28, 2017. 33 degrees Celsius. A very insidious curve near the 500 meters sign to the goal line, located in the main square of Milan, Piazza Duomo. It’s the final day of the 100th edition of Giro d’Italia (http://www.giroditalia.it/eng), one of the most important multiple stage bicycle races. This is the day of […]
