Interview: Photographer Vincenzo Vinci (Italia)
Can you tell us a little about you?
My name is Vincenzo, I live in Syracuse
How and when did you get into photography?
As a child I was fascinated by seeing photographers portraying us during ceremonies, in particular one of my uncles, my mother's brother, would portray us during family celebrations and then bring the development of that day spent together, this aroused great amusement for all the relatives present in that circumstance.
What does photography mean to you?
From there my interest in photography began to grow.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
In portrait photography I find that interest I once had, because I find that as the years pass, we are able to look back and see ourselves as we were.
Where do you get inspiration from?
From an article of clothing, a facial expression.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
I believe that a shooting session should be planned in advance with the client, only in this way can the needs of this underwear be reflected, perhaps the ongoing improvisation during the shooting doesn't hurt.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
Also dictated by fiscal pressures, I did not undertake the profession of photographer and family vicissitudes directed me elsewhere. Today I am an avid hobbyist, I experience photography as an expression of art.
What was your most memorable session and why?
At the time I was 23 years old and with the photographer where I went to work, he was commissioned to create a catalog of swimwear for the sea. The island of Lipari was chosen for the location, we stayed for a whole weekend in a spectacular structure, surrounded by various models who had arrived there just for that event, they were three interminable but fantastic days. Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Canon, Olympus, Fuji, Laica M, I get inspired by the kit I have available on that day.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
I don't know if I would recommend it, the world of photography is going through a particular moment, finding clients willing to spend the right amount is a rarity, meanwhile there is a lot of work behind an image and, as far as I can tell, it is difficult to be recognized as profitable.
What do you think of our new magazine?
It's a fantastic magazine, it manages to give vent to those who gravitate in this sector. It certainly helps to tell the story of how we were!
