Interview

2010 CoverMen
Mag!
August, 2010
-Hello
Saverio, I am really flattered you accepted to be interviewed
for CoverMen Mag!, just to start this interview off,
please give me some brief background information.
I
was born in Reggio Calabria. The same city of Gianni
Versace and Donatella. I grew up drawing everything
was around me and with a passion for cartoons. My mother
used to paint when I was young and my father use to
take a lot of pictures...So I grew up between two kinds
of art. I started taking pictures when I realized that
my sister Alessandra was growing up so beautiful...
-How did you start doing photography
and what got you interested in it?
I started
taking pictures of my sister organizing little sets
at home. International magazine covers get me interested
in it. When Versace was starting to be on the top and
when top models was starting to eat the scene.
-Did
you take any courses or did you go to a school to learn
photography?
I studied photography at ISTITUTO
ITALIANO DI FOTOGRAFIA in Milan.
-What
are the common elements of your photography style? How
would you describe your shooting style?
Static
but at the same time full of passion and soul
-What
are your favorite subjects to photograph?
Beautiful
guys and girls
-How do you compare shooting
in the studio to on location - any preference?
I
work a lot in studio. Now I'm moving to location. I
like both. If you're in the right place, location can
inspire you much more then studio.
-How
do you feel about digitally enhancing photos and to
what extent do you utilize it?
I'm shooting
digital now and I find it fast and furious!
-You
are a very successful photographer, do you have any
advice to photographers starting out in the fashion
industry?
You can't be a photographer if
you don't feel it in your veins. So just start it
and go straight to number one! Don't care about the others
steps. Just look at your work and believe in it!
-Please
share with me some of your recent and upcoming projects...
A
worldwide campaign. Two new magazines and some shooting
in south of Italy for some personal projects.
-Tell
me about your professional plans: apart from still photography,
what else would you like to pursue or are you already
pursuing?
I'm doing some models scouting
and I love it!
-Thanks again Saverio for
taking your time to reply to my questions, it was
a gift to me and my readers!
Thanks a lot.
