Valentina De Meo

Tell us something about yourself

Hello everyone! My name is Valentina De Meo, I'm 29 years old, and I'm an Italian photographer specialized in beauty and fashion.
I work with photography since 2009, I have a creative studio near the center of Bologna www.bgstudiocreativo.it

 

How and when did you get into photography?

Photography is part of me from always. He has fascinated me from the start and I wanted to know the secrets of photography from I was a child. Finished high school I considered in a more mature side my passion and i've approached photography with study and courses, trying to understand the mechanisms that were behind this fantastic world.

 

What does photography mean to you?

Photography for me is everything. It's part of my life, is my life, it is my way of seeing life. Photography for me is an expression, emotion, feeling, joy and sorrow. I could not live without.

 

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I think that my style can be described as clean, colorful and well.defined. I really like to have a clean composition but the impact, I like the details and the close-ups.

 

Where do you get inspiration from?

Everything I see is for me a source of inspiration. I really like art and painting and I often find time to turn to museums. Even the nature inspires me, I remain fascinated by the colors that gives us!

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?

For every shooting I like to create a moodboard and talking with my staff. We decide together every detail even though most of the time we get involved from the inspiration of the moment

 

Studio, on location or both?

I prefer shooting in the studio and creating environments there

 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

A paid professional! ;)

 

What has been your most memorable session and why?

Each shooting has something memorable! Surely I remember fondly my first catalog for a fee! I was young and inexperienced, I had the little fear that makes the engine warm up to a thousand! It 'was a wonderful experience!

 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

Canon, 70-200 2.8!
