Photography as Research by Aurelio Fioretta

Here we are, my relationship with photography begins in middle school, with an afternoon course in analogue photography and darkroom. For a long time this passion accompanied me, remaining kindly on the sidelines, confined to my spare time, until I felt that it was time to devote myself to it full time.

For several years I have been conducting photography courses, individual and for groups, from basic to advanced level. The experience in teaching made me discover how fun and engaging it is for me to modulate the theoretical and compositional notions, so that they can reach everyone with simplicity and clarity.

I hold personalized courses for the application of photographic technique in various sectors, from jewelry to orthodontics, to catalog photos. In parallel, I also organize thematic workshops, from portraits to photographic walks in nature. Discovering the architecture and gardens of the historic villas, around my city.

But also mini experiential tours, passing by the waves, the sand and the surfers or the workshops of the marble artisans. The things I have listed can also be offered in English, from courses to walks.

Photography is a way of life, as the alchemical principle of correspondence reminds us: “as inside so also outside” learning to observe things that are outside of us is a way of knowing how to express what we have inside. Cultivating ideas and creativity to find beauty within us and bring it out. ”

I quote from memory, Ferdinando Scianna who said: I don’t know if it is possible to improve the world with a beautiful photo, but bad photos certainly make it worse.

To conclude I could say that my work aims to help others and myself to convey emotions through the photographic medium. “
