Hello Saverio, I am really flattered you accepted to be interviewed for My Blog! 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.

I studied photography at ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI FOTOGRAFIA in Milan.

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?

A worldwide campaign. Two new magazines and some shooting in south of Italy for some personal projects.
