Interview: Photographer Davide K. Carboni (Italy)

Can you tell us a little about you?

I was born in Sardinia, I live between Cagliari and Milan. I consider myself a person who loves photography and who has been lucky enough over the years to be enriched by every encounter related to it.

How and when did you get into photography?

Photography has always fascinated me, I started studying self-taught at thirty-three .. to start taking photography I waited thirty-four, from many points of view I consider myself lucky because I was an age where I clearly knew I wanted to communicate without letting myself groped by the likes or fashions of the moment.

What does photography mean to you?

Without a doubt it is a way to be able to express many emotions that I feel, being able to communicate and show the world through my eyes is a unique thing.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I am a portrait painter. My photography always aims to tell a story, an emotion where the subject best expresses its characteristics. The emotions that unite most of my shots are fragility, melancholy, curiosity, strength and sensuality.

Where do you get inspiration from?

Books, music, art, personal stories, short stories, mix in what I see in the subject I work with.

Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?

I tend to always try to plan a photo shoot for 60% the rest must be flexibility and inspiration.

Studio, on location or both?

I prefer to work outdoors my land is an integral part of my shots, I work in the studio only if necessary.

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

I prefer to work outdoors, my land is an integral part of my shots, I work in the studio only if necessary.

What has been your most memorable session and why?I don't have a set that represents me .. every project is a part of me that I would never give up.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

The brand is indifferent these are tools after all. I use fixed lenses 35 50 and 85mm 1,4f

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?

Constantly studying and finding a way to be yourself and have your own style is the only way to be recognized in a market that sees photography as easy to use but inflated.

What do you think of our new magazine?

I congratulate you, you have a varied and pleasant approach, you have good taste, you can see that there is passion in what you do.
