An Exclusive Interview with Gabriele Ferrazzi

I'm really honored to be selected as the winner of Photo of the Month (2nd place). It isn't much time, that I have started to publish my works and this is a confidence boost for me!

This shot is one of my favorite. I was in a overland truck long the way from Cape Town to Istanbul, after a long day on the road in the desert, the sun was going down and we decided to stop for the night. Immediately I jumped down from the truck with my camera and I started to run in direction to a small hill of rock. I took a lot of photos of the horizon and when I finished I went back to set my tent. One of the guys who was traveling with me, was still on the rock hill and I decided to try a silhouette photo with an amazing sunset...

I'm just on the first step of photography world. It's so good that my photos are loved and I'll try to grow up more and more. I hope to tell more and more stories with my photography...

I'm Italian, but I like to define myself like a world citizen. My country is a fantastic place, full of history, monuments and small villages with stories to tell. Probably all Italians have a small amount of artistic skill in DNA, but I think only knowing the differences around the world, it is possible to learn something useful.

If I could choose, probably my perfect shot should be in the wild...but in any case, it's a good think to know technique and good composition of many kind of photography. Probably it depends on my mood, some days I like to stay in a traffic of a metropolis, other day I prefer to stay alone in the middle of nowhere...

As I already said I am self taught. The process was natural and easy... I found a new passion and I followed my instinct. That's what I do with my camera... The visualization is the result of my instinct.

Few of my photos were published on magazines and exposed in Rome, and I received a couple of recognitions , but I never organized a real exposition with my shots. I will do it in the future...

I started with five of my friends a new project about wild photography in the nature. We are building a website and as soon as possible and we will start to organize workshops and trips taking photos in the wild....

I don't feel I can give advices... Just follow your passions and doing something natural... A good shot as like a good work in the life, will be done only if you will love what you are doing...
