Interview: Photographer Luca Radici (Italy)

1 Can you tell us a little about you?

Hi all, I'm Luca Radici and I’m a designer and a freelance photographer based in north of Italy near Parma

Also I’m a web designer and developer and a racing designer for MotoGP and WSBK team pilots.

2 How and when did you get into photography? I started to shot 2 years ago as dog photographer, but from last year I take photos primarily for model portraits.

What does photography mean to you?

Photography relaxes me and allows me to tell moments of life, but above all to show the sensuality and beauty of the models.

Briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I love the purity and contrast of the photos almost always accompanied by my flashes. I love the American style of lights and shadows in the shots.

Where do you get inspiration from?

I taked ispiration from Manny Ortiz and Marco Squassina. For me they are 2 cool photographers. I have to thank Sandro Tasso for helping me get into the photo world. All this is only thanks to him.

Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?

Usually I improvvise locations and outfit, except in some specific cases where I take a brief.

Studio, on location or both?

Absolutely location. I don’t like to take pictures in studio.

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

Initially I took pictures in TFP, but fortunately lately I am taking pictures for a fee only.

What has been your most memorable session and why?

For me, every session always leaves me something special, so I can say that I care about any session I do

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

I use Sony A7 III full-frame mirrorless system. My favorite lens is Sony 85mm 1.4 GM and Sigma Art 105mm 1.4, but I also use Zeiss 35mm 1.4 and Canon 50mm 1.2. It depends on the situation.

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?

My advice is to shoot continuously, make tests, be absolutely humble and never stop learning.

What do you think of our new magazine?

It's a really amazing magazine because you can see a lot of works of professionals (photographers and models) really at top levels!
