Chi sono
Mi chiamo Stefano Ferri, classe 1984. La mia storia con la fotografia è iniziata molto presto, quando da bambino ho deciso di fare i primi “esperimenti” con la Olympus OM-1 di mio padre. Fu allora che scoprii una primordiale, e decisamente fallimentare, forma di selfie davanti allo specchio con una Reflex. Per salvare l’attrezzatura di famiglia, mi fu affidata una vecchia Ferrania compatta automatica (rigorosamente senza pellicola), con la quale ho passato anni a sognare inquadrature, tagli e prospettive.
Nikonista convinto della prima ora, ho iniziato a fare sul serio con la pellicola grazie a una Nikon F80 analogica, per poi abbracciare l’evoluzione del digitale, curando personalmente l’intero flusso: dallo scatto alla post-produzione, fino alla stampa.
La mia filosofia e i miei servizi
Sono un fotografo autodidatta per scelta e per passione. Il mio occhio si è formato studiando le opere di maestri assoluti del “momento decisivo” come Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt ed Elliott Erwitt. Da loro ho imparato l’importanza della spontaneità, del saper scomparire per cogliere l’attimo autentico.
Catturo la realtà così come si presenta. Amo i paesaggi, la street photography e la cura del dettaglio nel micro mondo di fiori e insetti. Ho un debole dichiarato per la fotografia notturna, dove la luce va cercata e attesa con pazienza.
Questa stessa sensibilità la porto nella fotografia di cerimonie ed eventi: che si tratti di matrimoni, battesimi, cresime, concerti o feste, il mio obiettivo è raccontare la vostra storia senza pose artificiali o forzature. Cerco l’emozione vera, il sorriso rubato e l’atmosfera di quel giorno, per restituirvi ricordi che non passano mai di moda.
About Me
My name is Stefano Ferri, born in 1984. My journey into photography began early in my childhood when I started making my very first “experiments” using my father’s Olympus OM-1. That was also when I discovered a primitive—and utterly unsuccessful—form of a reflex selfie in front of the mirror. To save the family gear, I was handed an old, automatic Ferrania compact camera (strictly without film), with which I spent years imagining frames, compositions, and landscapes.
A die-hard Nikon user from day one, I eventually got serious with film on a Nikon F80, before fully embracing the digital revolution. Today, I personally take care of the entire creative process, from shooting to post-production and final printing.
My Philosophy & Services
I am a self-taught photographer driven by pure passion. My visual style has been deeply shaped by studying the masters of the “decisive moment,” such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and Elliott Erwitt. From them, I learned the importance of spontaneity and the art of blending into the background to capture a genuine instant.
I love capturing reality as it unfolds. My personal work focuses on landscapes, street photography, and the intricate details of macro photography. I also share a profound love for night photography, where light must be patiently chased and awaited.
I bring this exact same approach to events and ceremonies. Whether it is a wedding, a baptism, a live concert, or a private party, my goal is to tell your story without forced or artificial poses. I look for raw emotions, stolen smiles, and the authentic atmosphere of your special day, creating timeless memories that you will cherish forever.
Stefano Ferri, born in Terni on January 29, 1984. Passionate about photography since childhood, he began to do the first damage … er … photographic “experiments” with his father’s Olympus OM-1 (experimenting and discovering a primordial form of “Selfie” with the Reflex in front of the mirror – it was not successful at the time). To avoid problems, he was entrusted with an old automatic compact Ferrania (unfortunately without film), with which he began to experiment and dream shots, poses, panoramas …
Convinced Nikonist (almost convinced, come on!), he seriously begins experimenting with film on an analog Nikon F80, then moving on to digital, from shooting to post-production to printing (online, but still print!).
He prefers landscapes, street photography, flowers, plants and insects. Obviously he does not disdain portraiture and photography of events such as weddings, baptisms, confirmations, concerts, festivals and parties or personalized photo shoots.
Self-taught photographer for passion, he is inspired and “guided” by the works of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Elliott Erwitt.
