Italian Destination Wedding Photographer

About Me

Alessandro Avenali - Italy Wedding Photographer

I'd say I take pictures since I was a kid, but nowadays everybody does, so this is not very meaningful. Before being a photographer, I had a career in visual design and motion graphics, something that was collaterally bound to photography: light, colors, geometry, point of view and taste. Maybe this helped me discovering the camera as an instrument to produce something visually pleasant.

In 2020 it's twelve years I'm a professional photographer. And I always feel I have lifelong things to learn. Every day, every step I take in this art improves the way I see the world around me and makes my photography grow up. And this is done by watching good photography and reading great masters books. If you want to get somewhere, you have to learn from the best. That's what I tried to do till today.

I love smiles, animals, rock climbing, winter sports, and cinema.
