For my photojournalistic style i prefer 35 mm cameras. I work with Canon equipment (Eos system film SLR and digital SLR, really silents). I use the best original AF Canon lenses and top Canon electronic integrated flashes. I take sufficient backup equipment to all weddings.

Do you shoot film or digital?
My personal experience with photography start 20 years ago, when nobody thought to make photos without films in the camera! In the last few years, digital has become very popular and will be the new way of photography story! The recent strides in technology, as well as personal trials, convinced me that digital's flexibility and quality make it preferable to 35mm film. All my packages include digital coverage, but either 35mm films coverage is available for an additional charge per roll. I use absolutely films when customers want manual "fine art" black&white enlargements.
Do you retouch artwork?
Every prints have cleaning retouch. Digital files to enlarge in professional format are optimized with professional pc program (i use specific professional software wich works in Photoshop). Black&white Fine-art prints are totally by hand processed and printed in darkroom.


What special effects do you use?
My style is to tell the reality in special events like in a dream! No one special effect filter. My final works are the result of my personal sperimentation with ligths, films and process. Many years of work teach some little secret!

If you will choose a package with enlargements you will have included a personal private on line gallery of all your shoots. You will be able to invite all your friends to visit it, to vote, to write a comments, to send a post-cards and you will choose the enlargements from web. The gallery will ready in 2 weeks!
