“My primary aim is to take photographs with unique characteristics, shots that are invariably out of the ordinary. This is a complex process, made up of numerous steps, each one of which requires the utmost attention and maximum experience. Only this kind of precise approach is able to guarantee outstanding results, able to live up to my own expectations and those of the client. Nothing is left to chance in the image produced; an image is no different from a written text, with all the information it contains”, says Maurizio Marcato.

“My photographic projects are the fruit of a painstaking study of the themes to be covered and the market the client operates in and wishes to make an impact on. First of all, it is essential to bear witness to events, to tell a story, to follow trends and tune into contemporary tastes. It is important to combine a passion for the photographer’s art and an awareness of the huge opportunities the medium offers: it’s a question of synergy with the camera, with the digital process and with a properly coordinated team”, concluded the multi-award winning international photographer.
