WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH !\u00a0I still can\u2019t believe it but I made it !! I AM ONE OF THE 30 RISING STAR OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
I want to thank <\/span>Rangefinder Magazine<\/span><\/strong> since it\u2019s incredible to be in a list with so many talented photographer, it makes me so proud<\/strong>!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
As some of you might know I started very late my career as a full time professional photographer<\/strong>, on march 2019 I quit a very well paid and safe job as a salesman in a big company to try myself, to push me beyond my limits. It was a bold move but it worked.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I\u2019ve put a lot of efforts, soul and sweat<\/strong> into this but I have always felt like the \u201cnew guy from nowhere\u201d in this industry (having no background as a photographer since I was alway more interessed in paintings).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Anyway I am an ambitious man so I gave myself some goals for my first 5 years<\/strong> as a wedding photographer (I just miss working in the U.S.<\/strong> so far, I achieved all the other ones) but I never even dared to dream<\/strong> to be amongst the 30 RISING STAR<\/strong> so\u2026. this REALLY came out of the blue, it was totally unexpected when I received the e-mail saying that I had a nominee and could send my best 30 pictures. Honestly I thought it was a joke from some colleague !<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I admit it. I cried when I got the news that I made it and it was one of the rare time when I had no words, then I realized I could have not made it just on my own, I have a lot of people to thank<\/strong> for this moment:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks to my family<\/strong> for letting me the freedom to work without any worries even when I am not home for days, thanks for the daily support. I am not good at words but this will be remembered, I promise.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks to all the customers<\/strong> that trusted me for their special day and to the wedding planners that gave me the freedom to work the way I love.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks to Alessio<\/span><\/strong> for being the friend that you are and the most reliable second shooter ever, I love you bro.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks to<\/strong> my main inspiration in the industry: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Francesco<\/span><\/strong> for giving me all the support about the big step last winter when I became a full time photographer and for the endless whatsapp chats and the headshot.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Silvia<\/span><\/strong>, she was the first one giving me the trust I needed to believe in my work (she even got me my first wedding ever), she has the most amazing, purest and incredible talent I have ever witness and working side by side with her was pure gold.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks to my ego<\/strong>, it\u2019s overlwhelming sometimes but it keeps pushing me to try and do better and better every time.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am a happy man and this is a short video with the pictures I submitted\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
