Francesco Cecconello Photography

Friend's wedding ceremony. On a cloudy Sunday morning I've been to a wedding ceremony. The church was quite dark and cold. I was seated at the end of the church while the sun was coming in from the windows. All become like gold. This is the photo I took:  

April 2016. Bologna (IT). If you want to shoot some portraits, it's the right moment.  We've been to Bologna Tattoo Expo, a great meeting where you can find a lot of tattoo artists from around the world. I find these meetings really interesting because of my attraction for this kind of art. I took a lot of photos that day and this is one of my favorite: 

April 2016. London. We went to London for a week end. It was one of my dreams since last time I visited it. My mission was to take the same picture I took with my phone in 2010 (5 months before I touched a reflex): I bought also a brand new lens to shoot something like this. I haven't been able to do that. :( Anyway we walked a lot through the city and for a guy that loves photographs, this city offers him a lot of subject, popular and not. I took many photos: monuments, streets and people. One morning (Sunday morning, the day of London Marathon) we went to London Tower and I took this:

Saturday afternoon I've been in Padova with my girlfriend. I picked up my camera to shoot some pictures while she was shopping. We parked the car near a big building (a bank) and here there were some guys dancing. I've been totally caught by them movements so I asked to a guy if I can take some pictures of his performance. Usually I am a little scared about to ask someone I meet on the street to give me some of his time to take some photos. Anyway the guy accepted and I take this:

Landscape is one of the branch of photography that I find very hard to do (more than others). When I was on holiday and I usually wanted to catch an image of a landscape. So I usually pick up my camera and... clic... clic... clic... The result was a  flat  image of a mountain incapable to let me feel something. This August, after study of this kind of photos (drive lines etc) I think I did my best picture of category Landscape. We (with my girlfriend) were walking on a mountain pathway. The sky was grey and the rain seemed to be ready to fall down. When we reached an high point, I fund a good point to take a picture of San Nicolò Valley. This is the result. I admit I played a little with post production, but who doesn't do it? :)

This is my first blog. I decided to start this whit a kind of photography that I like more then others: Tattoo Photography. Probably this kind of pictures may be called " Portraits " but I like to use another category for this. My girlfriend is a tattoo artist and we travelled Italy to visit some Tattoo Conventions. I used to pick up my photographic bag and shoot some pictures to the artists. While they are tattooing, they're quite estranged from what is happening around them. I will not write here EXIF datas of my shoots. I think is more important how you feel when you see a picture than how it have been taken (except for milky way ;) ). This is one of my favorite shoot.
