Film Photography in Rome and Across Italy
As a film photography specialist in Rome and across Italy, I offer timeless and authentic imagery for couples and families seeking to preserve their love and connection through the art of analog photography. Film photography brings a nostalgic, emotional depth that digital simply can’t replicate, with each frame rich with texture, warmth, and meaning. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape to Venice, a sun-drenched family adventure in Tuscany, or a quiet anniversary on the Amalfi Coast, my film photography sessions blend the elegance of 35mm and medium format film with heartfelt storytelling, capturing your most meaningful moments in a truly timeless way.
Why Choose Film Photography?
Film photography produces timeless images rich in texture and full of character. Each shot is thoughtfully composed, and the process of developing film adds a personal, artistic touch. As Henri Cartier-Bresson once said, “Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever-attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.”
In the fast-moving world we live in, capturing love on both 35mm and 120mm film allows me to slow down and focus on the genuine connection between you and your partner. Whether it’s a stolen glance, a shared laugh, or a quiet, intimate embrace, film preserves these moments with warmth and authenticity. The depth and texture of film photography bring out the emotions in a way that feels organic and timeless, creating a tangible reflection of your love story.
My Approach: Reportage and Documentary-Style Photography
As someone with years of experience in both photography and writing, my style leans toward reportage and documentary photography. I love to observe and capture people as they truly are, focusing not just on posed moments but also on the small details and candid interactions that make your connection unique.
At the same time, I know that every couple has their own vision for their photoshoot. Whether you’re drawn to classic portraits, spontaneous snapshots, or something entirely different, I’m here to collaborate with you to bring your ideas to life. Together, we’ll create a collection of images that authentically reflect your love and story.
What Makes Film Photography Special?
One of the most enchanting aspects of film is its unpredictability. The soft grain, unique colors, and subtle imperfections make each image a piece of art. Unlike digital photography, where countless images can be taken and deleted, film photography demands intentionality and thoughtfulness. Every frame matters, which means your wedding photos are infused with care and creativity.
Expanding Beyond 35mm: The Beauty of 120mm Film
For couples looking for even greater depth and richness in their photos, I’m excited to offer 120mm medium format film photography. This format produces breathtaking, high-resolution images with exceptional tonal range—ideal for capturing the fine details of your couple’s session. From the subtle textures of your clothing to the soft glow of golden-hour light, medium format film enhances every moment with a timeless and artistic touch.
To achieve the best results, I carefully select film stocks that complement the mood and setting of your shoot. Kodak Portra 400 is perfect for natural, warm skin tones and soft color transitions, while Fuji Pro 400H offers beautiful pastel hues, ideal for a dreamy and romantic aesthetic. For a rich, cinematic feel, Kodak Ektar 100 provides deep colors and stunning contrast, while Ilford HP5 Plus is a go-to for classic, moody black-and-white imagery. With these premium film choices, your love story will be captured in a way that feels both authentic and timeless.
Fine Art Print
A fine art print refers to an archival pigment giclée print, renowned for its exceptional quality and durability. Unlike c-type prints, which rely on light-sensitive materials and chemical processes, giclée prints are produced using high-quality pigment-based inks and acid-free fine art paper. This method involves a high-resolution, large-format printer, ensuring remarkable detail and richness of color.
Due to their premium materials and meticulous process, giclée prints are highly valued by museums and galleries for their longevity—resisting fading, yellowing, cracking, or degradation over time. They can also achieve various finishes, including glossy, luster, or metallic, while offering a broader selection of materials such as true matte, watercolor papers, and canvas.
As an optional addition, I offer couples the opportunity to enhance their collection with a beautiful 30 x 40 cm fine art print. Crafted with museum-quality precision and elegance, this print is designed to preserve their cherished moments in exceptional detail and lasting beauty.
Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together
Your couple photoshoot is a celebration of love, joy, and connection. With 35mm and 120mm film photography, I strive to create images that not only capture your moments together but also evoke the emotions and memories you’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a couple photoshoot that is artistic, authentic, and timeless, I would be honored to be a part of your story.
