my story

How I started photo ...

In summer 2018 I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D3200 with a 18-55mm from Amazon. I had no idea this purchase would have brought me to one of the best inner journeys of my life. One week after I received this camera, I went with one of my best friends, Ale, to the local festival in my hometown called “Sherwood Festival”. We arrived there in the late afternoon and while listening to a public talk from a writer who was presenting his book there I started taking some photos of the event randomly. Then I go back sitting next to my good friend and he asks me: “Why don’t you ask to take photos at the festival?” And I answered, “Oh yes you are right!!” So he pointed me where to ask to and I just went. There I asked to speak with some photography responsible of the festival and there I met Babi for the first time, my initiator! I asked her how I could become a photographer at the festival and she told me “Stay at the festival tonight, take some photos around and show them to me before you leave.” And I answered “Sure!” So I went back to my friend, told him the challenge I received and I took some photos of the festival during the golden hour capturing some atmosphere, sit back moments. I then enjoyed the night at the festival and showed Babi my photos at which she answered: “Well, yes they are good enough, it seems that you know how to take photos”. I was crazy happy about that and she gave me appointment the next day. The next day I met the whole photographer team and they introduced me to all the information I needed to become an active and effective part of the team. From that point on I had access to crazy shows and exciting behind the scenes of the festival and I just wanted more and more.
