Giuseppe Satriani

My first "teacher" was Luisella D'Alessandro, then president of the Italian Foundation of Photography. She introduced me to some of the

Of course, I remember very well because I absolutely wanted to do it to my mother as a sign of the infinite love I feel for her and gratitude for everything she is doing for me. It is a portrait done on the side of a window. To dim the lights, I used the curtain she had sewn herself. A photo with a three-quarter pose with the face tilted slightly downwards.

I consider equipment many things that go beyond the camera and lenses. I currently use a Sony Alpha 7R with a versatile Sony 16-35, Sony 200mm, 12mm LAOWA, Samyang 8mm, Zhongyi super macro lens. Sometimes I use a Lumix G2 with lenses: Leica D6 Macro-Elmarit, Lumix G Vario 7-14mm. Lumix G Vario 45-200, Lumix G Vario 14-42. Apart from that, I must also mention the Rollei C5i Carbon tripod, ND 64 and 1000 neutral density filters, Photoshop, PTGUI, Topaz Gigapixel, DeNoise, Sharpen; Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, a light-table, a light-box, Epson Perfection V750 PRO Scanner, BENQ 26

One day, my teenage son with Down syndrome, seeing an image that I was processing on the PC of a small solitary tree surrounded by gigantic trees that seemed to want to defend him, said to me: "this is me when I'm with grandma"

I think it wasn't just one thing that inspired me; I believe that who I am as an artist and what I hope to convey is the result of the sedimentation of many little things that my life has given me. You create what you have experienced physically or spiritually. I am attracted by the essentiality, by the substance, by the paused rhythm, by thought, by reflection, by enjoying things giving them enough time with sufficient time for the superficiality to disappear, by spontaneous and "easy-going" people

Emotional visual art

The Golden Awards for my series on the world we are building and the dizzying chasm of the rhythm of life we have, as well as the Silver Award on diversity, represent a great joy for me, above all because it is the first time that I have achieved similar results in an award such as MUSE so internationally prestigious, but also because, seeing the names and the proposals that share this honor with me, I begin to believe that I can compete in the first division of the visual arts.

To answer this question, I have to stretch a little longer because I was proud to be the winner with 3 series. In all three cases, I decided to send the proposal to the MUSE Award because they touched upon very important topics for me and I considered that I had been able to visualize them adequately and even attractively.

I still don't know what being a two-time Golden Winner and a Silver Winner of the MUSE Award will mean in my

I think it is right to give credits to my

The best advice I received by my mentors was to make me understand that art is not only inspiration and aesthetics, but also hard and persevering "dirty" work made of technique, craft ability, do and redo and a lot of frustration management

Photography is in another moment of deep rupture. At the moment, we are still in the confrontation and territory marking phase. Anyone who innovates is branded a profiteer and a cheating by those who intend to defend the past and thus preserve their "business". I think in the future the image will not be the most important thing, but the "concept" behind it will be. The concept will be the differentiating aspect. Consequently, whoever wants to become a photographer today, must necessarily include other disciplines in his knowledge and must necessarily know how to "play" in this new

My words of wisdom certainly do not derive from the artistic mastery that is recognized in me, they derive from age and lived experiences. I would say that before standing up as champions of any truth it is always better to touch what you want to criticize or what you are afraid of. If we follow this simple advice, we will respect more what others are and propose and we will be more open to accept other forms of seeing and creating, thus enriching the community to which we belong.

I believe this question has already been answered with my wisdom advice from the previous question. In any case to be curious of life imply to be open-mind but also having a critical judgment trained in the gym of life and culture

Dostoevskij said "beauty will save the world". I agree but it's not enough because to beauty, we need to add content, elegance, and an open mind to know how to appreciate it and not fear it. Art is Nature that expresses itself through our humanity Thanks so much!
