“A good picture should speak for itself: tell a story, recall something or someone, make people think or dream.” Meet Rome based freelance photographer Guen Fiore, who pulls off catching snapshots that have an tangent affect on you.
Tell us something bout you…
I am Guen Fiore and I’m a photographer based in Rome
When did you first pick up a camera?
I can’t remember exactly how old I was but I must have been rather young. I took my dad’ s analog camera and then photographed barbie’s wedding. I remember my father getting quite embarrassed when he took back the film role, as he didn’t know about it of course.
And what is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
That I would have become so addicted to it.
How much of yourself is in your work?
A lot. There is so much of myself in my work!
On your website it says: “My stlye is constantly changing” How important is development for you. Do you set goals for yourself? And what are you most proud of in your life?
I think it’s very important to experience and to try to do new things, especially if you need to develop your personal point of view. You can find your way and learn only through experience. It’s very important because it helps you to understand who you are as a photographer, or at least which direction you want to take.
I’ve a lot of dreams or goals, however you wanna call them. I’m not confident enough to say “One day I’ll make it big” but I’m doing my best!! Little by little.
I’m proud to be an open minded person!
What is the essence of a good picture?
A good picture should speak for itself: tell a story, recall something or someone, make people think or dream.
Planned vs spontaneous?
Spontaneous
What inspires or excites you?
I’m inspired by the essential and the every day life.
Where can we find you on a Saturday evening?
Probably on my sofa eating pizza and watching a movie ahaha
Where is home for you?
It may sound banal but for me home is where my family and my friends are.
The most important thing in life
Happiness! Small things still matter though.
