Daniel, why exceptional photos?
At one point, shot after shot, job after job, I began to hear, first whispered behind me as I shot, and then happy shouts from the team, hair and make-up artists, fashion stylists, and clients…
‘amazing photo!’
‘that’s just what I wanted!’
‘Amazing portrait!’
‘He caught exactly what I was looking for’
‘I can’t wait to show it to…’
And then, I realized that I had arrived at a good start point.

Daniel and the the Engineering
How did I get here?
‘I think that all art is about control – the encounter between control and the uncontrollable’ – Richard Avedon
My photography, its final result, the wow effect, and the fact that it is chosen and re-chosen by my clients are the result of study and years of shooting. I was born a Project Engineer of super Ferrari cars in Maranello, but over time I became what I am now: a Photographer Engineer.
I see photography as a wonderful form of art, and I start by understanding and controlling light itself to make “exceptional photos”
Daniel and his Light
Light, Reality, Artistic Vision.
“Of reality, the photographer imagines a vision that doesn’t exist, and creates it, paints it, with light, technique, and imagination – and this is art.” Daniel
Photography means PAINTING WITH LIGHT.
‘photo’ from the Greek φωτός and φῶς ‘to draw with light.’
I have been an entrepreneur for more than fifteen years, and as a professional photographer, I paint with My Light.
Daniel, Art and Fashion with the best ones
I’m proud to have exhibited my contemporary artworks with some of the best Italian fashion photographers, like Giovanni Gastel, Andrea Varani, and Efrem Raimondi.

“Photography is Art. I see art and photography as what truly define man and can truly elevate him. Only men can create other musical, visual, and literary worlds, which is wonderful. Art and, with it, the continuous beauty search must define a man.”

And one day, I get overwhelmed by a hurricane of words, enthusiasm, emotions, dreams, goals, projects, and the joy of living. Daniel is all this and much more. But the thing that struck me, most of all, is his being madly in love with Letizia, the beautiful wife, and Gaia, his lovely little girl. You believe that a trained and good engineer is “square” and rational. Certainly, it will be this Daniel, but what I perceived is his floating on high waves of LOVE, then of feelings…. the leitmotif that accompanies him in everything he creates and especially in what he will achieve in the future. He wanted to give me only a few photographs, for me amazing, considering them iconic and representative of his work, as eclectic as it is.. Shots full of color, even if in b/n, loads of positive energy and good movement even where there are static poses. Innovative and dynamic images, respecting good taste and elegance. Beautiful body painting series. But we will find it again at the October Exhibition “Made in Italy…. Let’s start from here!” that I will exhibit at the Silk Museum of Como. Actually, I had no more walls available, the cast of 7 photographers was complete, but I tried absolutely a solution to be able to offer my audience just a taste of the wonderful images of Daniel. And so it will be! I am sure that Daniel will have more and more success both in Italy and in America, his secret dream that I reveal in preview! Because he believes and above all his engine does not go to gasoline but goes to Love, and this opens all the caskets more all the most precious caskets and realizes dreams and miracles.Good luck to all, Daniel.

‘I had to set the backdrop for her photo shoot… That night I looked in his studio…as soon as he saw me, he exploded with his particular smile and said: YOUR FACE!… I HAVE TO PHOTOGRAPH!
That meeting was alchemical! A friendship and professional esteem were born! Daniel is a spontaneous person, genuine, true; a smiling artist, proactive, perennially creative, inventive, and simple; in addition to being a disruptive personality to the point that with him you always feel alive, participates on every topic, is in continuous movement, always evolving but at the same time you feel in a pleasant atmosphere, jovial.
When I look at his works, I see in them the mirror of his artistic and human personality; works full of flashes of light, tonal changes, sudden aesthetic solutions, a varied, multiple tastes; works that tell with brushstrokes of light the subject; wrapped with sharp and vigorous solutions almost monumental; sometimes those works are played with light or dazzling sheets of colors…;His formal compositions are cleverly organized and, at the same time, playful.
I find in Daniel a man- an artist who loves what he does and does it lightly, and at the same time, inside his photography, there is rigor.I have always been fascinated by his cheerfulness and spontaneity…
He is a child who plays seriously with his art creating images full of light colors and lines that have a certain musicality as a whole…I find…. of sublime beauty.
And as Prince Miskin said in Dostoyevsky’s Idiot :BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD.
Daniel started a long time ago.

“I got to know Daniel professionally following the event held in Como on the occasion of the exhibition…
I discovered an uncommon talent, accompanied by expertise and technical ability, and managerial.
Therefore, I decided to entrust him with the realization of some shots that I had planned to commit to a professional.The shots that came out are now part of my professional image and not.
Some are for me so restorative of the image that I have, or that I would like of me, that recognizing it is more than a pleasure!”
