Como

My name is Francesco Frippa, and I am a wedding photographer.
I started taking pictures even before I could walk.
Today, that passion-cultivated with enthusiasm and determination-has become my profession.
I experience your emotions in an empathetic way, and my resoluteness helps me translate them into a story worth telling.
In doing so, the search for the perfect moment is the secret ingredient to capturing the perfect shot.
Pizza or Nutella? Feel free not to choose-I love them both.
Among my passions are movies, martial arts, and good food.
My first camera opened up an unexplored world full of possibilities.
It answered my questions, and in doing so, I found the path that led me to you.
I photograph to tell my story; I photograph to bring your story to life.

My name is Andrea Barbieri, I am 35 years old and originally from Como.
I believe in photography because it has the power to capture the "here and now", transforming it into an indelible and eternal memory, always ready to be looked at again, faithful to what has been.
My photographs want to be nothing more than this: my interpretation of reality that passes in front of me and is transformed into an image.
My style is constantly evolving, even if I make reportage a firm and constant point. My focus is always on telling the emotions of those who are at the center of events and showing the reality of the things that surround me. I tell stories with my photographs, and to do so I evolve my techniques and tools to always find new ways.

Your wedding day narrated in a spontaneous, honest, truthful way.

With an artistic touch and a pinch of Rock & Roll !!

My name is Alfredo, I'm a photographer and film maker living between the mountains of Lake Como and Lugano, incredibly beautiful places that I've always loved.

I think photography is strongly related to magic. When I'm behind the camera sometimes it happens that I don't notice what I'm photographing, I feel my senses expand and I act instinctively, entering a very particular mood. The great photographer Ansel Adams said:

"You don't take a picture with just a camera. You put into photography all the images you've seen, the books you've read, the music you've listened to, and the people you've loved."

I'm based in Lake Como, Lake Lugano, Lombardy and Switzerland but I love to travel and meet new people and cultures, and I'm willing to join you anywhere in the world.

I carry out photoshoots for weddings, portraits, engagements, ceremonies, families and companies. I produce promotional videos for companies and individuals. I have a great interest in reportage and storytelling.

I like stories. I like listening to them, reading them and telling them. Each wedding is a small story with protagonists, places and emotions, lots of emotions. I think it's a privilege to be able to tell, through images, what should be an unforgettable day. I like to do it with discretion, attention to detail and a bit of good humor

I was born in Lecco on Lake Como, Italy, in 1973. Since I was14 years old I have had a passion for photography which I inherited from my two parents, both photographers. Today I am the owner of Studio Photo Fotorota based in Lecco (Italy) and coordinate a team of photographers and associates who work with me. I mainly specialize in reportage weddings. I work with many agencies and major companies. Many of my images have won awards for national and international competitions. With my photographs I take part in exhibitions. I made numerous editorials for national and international journals. I am an active member of the most important associations for wedding photographers, including: WPJA. AGWPJA, ISPWP, WPPI and Best of Wedding Photography. In 2007 I have received the important qualification in wedding photography QEP recognized by the FEP in Europe.

I work with popular wedding magazines: Vogue, White, Elle and others. In 2008 I was selected as a photographer from the NPS Nikon Europe, right after I was elected as teacher for workshops organized by the project with Nikon School in Italy. In 2009, I embarked on the adventure as teacher for courses and professional workshops on photojournalism wedding photography, taking many courses in several Italian cities. I work in postproduction and teaching courses in software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. I dedicate much time to research and experimentation to improve and expand my work.

In my wedding reportage work, I try to capture real moments unique to each wedding, I look to capture the true emotions and sensations that people feel. I always use ambient light to keep the realism of the scene. With my recent research in wedding photography, I find a similarity with the photo in the film with the light of the cinema just as the photographer, I look to document and capture everything just how I am in front of me. With my reportage I want to tell a story in every wedding, my photographs must transmit the same sensations and emotions to the viewer. I love the black and white photographs for strong contrasts between light and shadow.

We seek a journalistic style with a strong emotional impact trying to give life to unconventional shots to highlight the beauty and quality. We put the same care and love in each of our wedding photo/film packages, either a 2 hours package or a 3-day wedding.

Call it dedication to work, or incurable romanticism, after all we are Italians: dreamers, passionate and creative
