 AM:Tell us how you got started in photography?

 MX: It was around the time I was at highschool and I was searching to express my

 Artistic abilities. At that time few friends of mine introduced me to the world of

 Photography and immediately I fell in love with it.

 All of the process from the shooting to the development of the photo it was very

 Appealing to me (given the fact that everything was an analogue procedure).

 As a lover of arts I felt that photography was the medium to combine everything I love music, literature,painting and cinema.

 

AM:What defined your photography ?

MX:The ability to capture the human expression and the infinite choices to create with light.

 

AM:Are you influenced by Art or Fashion in your approach of photography?

MX: By both. Most of the time one is interconnected with the other.

AM: How much do you care about the concept of a photography? 

MX:The concept is very important for a production. Is the idea that everything is based on.

 

AM: Which is your opinion about the impact of social media on the art of photography ?

MX:I believe that social media are a contemporary tool that connect people and art and I never say no to a new tool. Although because of the overinformation it becomes difficult to separate good from bad and you have to sharpen your ability to critisize.Facebook ,instagramme etc is very helpfull especially for young photographers who use these platforms to expose their work.

AM: Objects, space, models: how much important are for your work?

MX:Every part of a fashion shooting is very important. Props, location, models has to be as good as possible. If one of those parts is not the right one you can tell the difference on the outcome. I believe casting is on the top of the list because the model is the main character that creates the final image.

AM: What about your future projects?

MX: I love the idea to create projects that combine classic values of culture with the modern way of life. I believe that fashion is a way that people express themselves over the time in history  and I enjoy to be apart of it .To make pictures,besides the everydays work,that creates afeeling of “deep fashion”or something to be rembered.
