10 days ago was the date my first set on this site went live.
4 years ago then!
The site has changed so much since the first time I signed up, but nevertheless, I owe to SG some of the most wonderful moments, people and experiences of the past years.
I am quite proud of the improvements i made in my life and in my work and my research, and I feel really lucky to be able to make a sufficient amount of money doing what I love: photographing people my way.
Sg gave me the opportunity to improve, become a better professional, get a lot of visibility. So now I get commissions just because of my style, wich is quite amazing. Shooting can be tiring & draining sometimes, as well as the constant interacting with people and models, but I still have the capability of falling in love with some small details of the scene as I look into the viewfinder, so I cant help thinking I am incredibly lucky.
Right now I am navigating in very calm waters. These years have been a mess: travelling a lot, constantly moving, doing lots of drugs and drinking, trying to keep up with work, love affairs, friends... I needed the restlessness, and somehow I still do. But since I decided to move back to Milan i have been feeling shamlessly disconnected from the world, concentrated on work and art, or whatever you want to call it, and it feels quite good. It's like I am re- working all the exciting confusion of the past years, re- elaborating and producing. Maybe it's just age, I feel a bit better with myself, and I dont crave pain and suffering anymore.
Hopefully it will last, at least till it gets too boring.
