Storytellers - Serena
Storytellers - chapter 1.
Questa serie è un tributo a tutte le persone meravigliose che incontriamo sulla nostra strada. Persone che lasciano un segno, con la loro creatività, il loro stile di vita, la loro anima. Una manciata di foto e un assaggio della loro storia. Questo è ciò che vi daremo, perché possiate esserne ispirati anche voi.
Abbiamo conosciuto Serena a Parigi, cinque anni fa. Intelligente, bellissima e affamata di vita. L'abbiamo incontrata ancora quest'anno, sempre a Parigi, dopo che ha passato gli ultimi due anni in giro per il mondo in autostop.
È una viaggiatrice, una cittadina del mondo, ma dovunque sia, torna sempre al suo primo amore, la "sua" città.
This series is a tribute, to all the wonderful people we meet on the road. People who blow our mind with their creativity, their way of living, their souls. Few photos, and a glimpse into their story. This is what you will have, to be inspired too.
We met Serena in Paris, five years ago. She was smart, beautiful and hungry for life. We met her again this year, always in Paris, after she spent two years hitch-hiking through the world.
She's a traveller, a world citizen, but wherever she is, she always comes back to her first love, her city.
“It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris. Paris is simply an artificial stage, a revolving stage that permits the spectator to glimpse all phases of conflict. Of itself Paris initiates no dramas. They are begun elsewhere. Paris is simply an obstetrical instrument that tears the living embryo from the womb and puts it in the incubator. Paris is the cradle of artificial births. Rocking here in the cradle each one slips back into his soil: one dreams back to Berlin, New York, Chicago, Vienna, Minsk. Vienna is never more Vienna than in Paris. Everything is raised to apotheosis. The cradle gives up its babes and new ones take their places. You can read here on the walls where Zola lived and Balzac and Dante and Strindberg and everybody who ever was anything. Everyone has lived here some time or another. Nobody dies here…”

Love Etc. - festival de mariage in Paris
A wedding fair in our favorite city. We couldn't say no.
At Love Etc. at La Cour du Marais, in Paris, we found endless inspiration, amazing wedding vendors and new lovely friends. Be inspired with these few shots and thank you to the great team of Made in You who organized the event. See you next year in Paris!
Travel series: Japan
" It is a land that engenders metaphors. It has been likened to an onion: layers and layers surrounding - nothing. It has been described as a maze, a fortress, a garden. A prison. A paradise. But for some, Japan is none of these. For some, Japan is a highway."
Per ogni viaggio che inizia, per ogni via percorsa ce n'è un'altra che ci aspetta, quando torniamo a casa. Fatta di ricordi e sensazioni, in una dimensione simile al sogno, che senza che davvero ce ne rendessimo conto ci ha cambiati, fa parte di noi, nella pelle, nel cuore, negli occhi. Il Giappone, con la sua cultura piena di armonia e contrasti, tra tecnologia e spiritualità, sa come rapirti, come sorprenderti, con la gentilezza dei suoi abitanti, con la sua natura rigogliosa, con i silenzi nei luoghi sacri, con le luci delle grandi città.
Il Giappone sa come non essere dimenticato.
"è una terra che ispira metafore. Qualcuno l'ha definita un labirinto, una fortezza, un giardino. Una prigione. Un paradiso. Ma per alcuni il Giappone non è niente di tutto questo. Per qualcuno, il Giappone è una via da percorrere."

We have never seen so many smiles at a wedding. That happens when your family - the real one and the one you choose - is there with you to enjoy your big day.
Have a look at this laid-back, country wedding if you miss summer as much as we do. We promise it's full of light and colors, dances and laughs.
Sara - Boudoir
When Sara told us she wanted to gift her husband with a boudoir session we were head over heels, because we really love this kind of sessions: feminine, intimate and always inspiring. So we decided to rent a studio space at Cross Studio: the guys have been so great in setting up a bed in the room in almost no time! Thank you guys, and thank you Sara for being such a perfect model.
Shot with Nikon D700 + Nikon D800 | 85mm f/ 1.8 | 50mm f/1.4 | 35mm f/1.8
And we have to say a big thank you also to Vale: a friend, a stylist, an above all a great supporter for Sara and for us!
