A while ago (two years, time is flying...) I've been interviewed by Toro Magazine, a Canadian online publication. If you are curious about what goes on in my head when I plan my pictures then you'll find some answers here.

I have been interviewed by the lovely Photosense guys about photography. Check it out.

10 por 15 is a very interesting Spanish web based magazine. They showcase all sorts of photography as long as it's interesting. It has quite a big following in Spain. They featured three of my images a while ago but it's always good to look back at it.

Gola is a lovely restaurant in Fulham. Awesome Italian food and so cosy you feel like you are relaxing in your own living room.
We did a great photoshoot for them, the place is fantastic and full of interesting corners, light, reflections, colours.

I'm always pleased to take pictures at Field of Remembrance for RCEL (Royal Commonwealth Ex-Service League, a charity helping Commonwealth veterans). This year the weather was horrible, wet, windy and really cold but Cristina and I managed to take some good shots anyway.
We both used our Nikon D700, I had a Nikkor 24 - 50 while she had a 35 - 135. We both used the inbuilt flash.
Pictures are being printed and should be ready for RCEL by Friday. Looking forward to seeing them printed out.

I’m really pleased with the shoot I did with Cristina Cocullo for Fab Spa in Fulham few weeks ago. We used a Nikon D700, Sigma 24 70 f2.8 and two Nikon Speedlights off camera (SB 600 and SB 900). We both thought it would have been an easy shoot until the model with the feet in the tank started screaming when the fish were munching on her dead skin. She was ticklish, really ticklish.

Cristina Cocullo and I have been shooting together for quite a number of years. And it works perfectly. So we thought, why not join our forces? And that's how White Square Photography was born.

The Domestic Life of Electrical Appliances and Other Stories – Emanuela Franchini

One of my images is among the ten selected from Flickr for the exhibition "Io Mi Vedo Cosi'" (That's How I See Myself) organised by CIFA (Italian Photography Association). I'm quite pleased to be part of the exhibition till September along with great masters of photography and my image is also on the exhibition catalogue. Not bad for a pair of feet...

The roots of popular fairy tales and folklore can be traced through time and across belief systems all over the world – Cinderella, for example, is recorded in versions from 9^th century a.d China and further into the past. With each culture the heroes and heroines take on different virtues reflecting not only the storytellers take on their society, but also their individual roles in it. 

This mixed media exhibition gathers together a group of international artists, all of whose work tells tales - some recounting their own stories, some interpreting stories that have had an impact on them.

Curated by Camille Rodskjaer, featuring works by Marisol Cavia, Cristina Cocullo, Emanuela Franchini, Gemma Lowe, Cat Roisetter, Iain Sharpe, Jakeline Londono.

'Wonderland' by Emanuela Franchini for the group exhibition 'Telling Tales'.

The Strokes' debut album Is This It has been named the best album of the decade by music magazine NME.
I'm quite pleased with this since they used one of my pictures on the front page of their website.
