Val Cavanata - Aggiornamento
In this previous post i was saying that i may not have taken the competition theme seriously enough. Good thing the judges had sense of humor.
This first picture won the 4th price (and, really i'm happy and honoured, i have no experience, background on wild animal photography - i don't have any lens more than 85mm ) , the last won a special jury price for the idea and developement :-) Thanks guys!!

Studio under developing
Never been good at planning, staging and shooting a photo. I usually capture what i see and feel, something with its own life. That's why i decided to study lighting, strobes, studio life and work, because i'm very bad at it and i want to improve very badly. I did in the past stage a photo and we had quite great fun so why not finding some space to fit a small studio?
I moved some forniture and could arrange some free space to move around.
First tests were fun but showed me i needed more space and more attention to the background. And to study and shoot more with artificial lighting (Strobist Strobist and more Strobist).
I did a lot of self shots, much more you and i could ever want to see here, but luckily i also have some friends who're not afraid of the camera.
First victim of the DIY studio and lighting : Martina
This was way before i even tryed to build a background holder and stuff , i'm very grateful to Martina for the great experience and great fun we had that day!
Right next in time appearence i have to thank Elena Venier, photographer and friend who decided to give a test of the studio with her friend and model Bruna right after i put up an emergency backdrop holder.
I managed to steal some photos of Bruna during theyr photoshoot and i'm quite happy of the pics (i would be happier if i didn't forget the ISO on 1600 the night before :) )
The studio is still under work, as my skills so..
To be continued...
