More about Edoardo A....

What do you love about your job?

What I love about my job is the opportunity to connect with people in unique and unrepeatable moments of their lives. I'm fascinated by being able to observe and capture true emotions—those that can't be faked—and transform them into images that will last forever.
I love the freedom photography gives me: traveling, discovering new places, immersing myself in different cultures, and, at the same time, having the privilege of stopping time.
But what I find most rewarding is knowing that, through my photos, someone can relive a smile, a tear, a hug... and still feel, years later, the same emotion of that day.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

My work is special because it is born from the intersection of technique and sensitivity. I don't just take a beautiful image: I try to convey an emotion, a connection, a story that belongs only to that moment and those people.
My experience allows me to move discreetly, to anticipate moments before they happen, and to capture them in their purest form. I use light, composition, and the rhythm of the shot as tools to give depth and truth to the images.
I believe the difference lies in the fact that, looking at my photographs, you don't just see "what" happened, but you can feel "how" it was experienced. And it is this ability to revive an emotion that makes my work truly unique.

A fun fact about this photographer

Ricordo una volta, durante un matrimonio, in cui stavo aspettando il momento perfetto per fotografare l’uscita degli sposi dalla chiesa. Tutti erano pronti con il riso in mano, io in posizione strategica… peccato che il parroco, ignaro della “coreografia”, decise di fare una chiacchierata di dieci minuti con gli sposi proprio sulla soglia.
La folla, stanca di aspettare, cominciò a lanciare il riso piano piano, un chicco alla volta, come se fosse una gara di tiro a segno. Quando finalmente gli sposi uscirono davvero, metà del riso era già finito e io mi ritrovai a fotografare una scena surreale: un’esplosione di chicchi sparsi e gente che rideva a crepapelle, compresi gli sposi.
Alla fine, quelle foto spontanee e imperfette sono state tra le loro preferite… e io ho imparato che a volte la miglior regia è lasciare che la realtà faccia il suo spettacolo.
