Corsi e workshop 2025 in lingua italiana

Wonderful evening on January 18, 2025, at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (#WPY60) exhibition at the Museo della Permanente in Milan.

A heartfelt thank you to the many attendees (approximately 200 people) and to the organizers, Radicediunopercento – Wildlife Photographer of the Year Milan.

A special thanks to Marelux, Beuchat, EIZO, Sony Italia, Verdeacqua, and Wildlife Photographer of the Year for their support.

Gratitude also to Ilaria Mariagiulia, Emilio Mancuso, and Roberto Di Leo for making this event even more special.

Diversamente da un corso generico di Lightroom e Photoshop, ci concentreremo esclusivamente sugli aspetti rilevanti per il fotografo subacqueo. Dopo una panoramica delle principali funzioni dei software, ti mostrerò il mio flusso di lavoro, includendo l'uso dei nuovi strumenti per la riduzione del rumore e il miglioramento dei dettagli. Seguiremo insieme ogni passaggio su scenari differenti: dalla macrofotografia, alla fotografia grandangolare con il flash, fino alla fotografia in luce ambiente. Impareremo anche a gestire la coerenza cromatica, dal processo di sviluppo all'output finale, su vari media come stampa e piattaforme online.

Argomenti Trattati: • Introduzione alla post produzione • Il colore in digitale • Fondamentali lightroom: (interfaccia, gestione cataloghi, utilizzo attributi, tag, filtri, raccolte etc.) • Pannello sviluppo lightroom / camera raw • Workflow di sviluppo RAW in Lightroom • Fondamentali di Photoshop: (Interfaccia, strumenti, filtri, regolazioni livelli, maschere di livello etc.) • Riduzione delle imperfezioni • Nitidezza (maschera di contrasto, accentua passaggio, metodi di applicazione nitidezza avanzati) • Nitidezza e riduzione rumore con plugin AI • Workflow completo dall’importazione allo sviluppo di un’immagine da LR a PS • Messa in pratica su diverse tipologie di fotografia subacquea (macro, wide, luce ambiente, bianco e nero, half&half) • Esempi su casi particolari (forti dominanti, sole a “uovo fritto”, sospensione, scarsa nitidezza etc.)

Being awarded at Wildlife Photographer of the Year is unforgettable. "Hintze hall" at Natural History Museum, London was tinted with red lights whilst the skeleton of the blue whale "Hope" was standing above us, I cannot describe the magical atmosphere! The exhibition is overwhelming, with stories of awareness, hope, change, and of course beauty. Being part of this collection makes me extremely proud. Huge congratulations to all the awarded photographers, from "grand title winner" Laurent Ballesta to the incredibly talented young photographers awarded, it is an honour to stand by your side. I was so lucky to share these days with my family and with my love Ilaria Mariagiulia Please have a look at the #WPY59 awarded mages here: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery

Wildlife Photographger of the Year 2023 candid

It has been a wonderful EUDI show this Year in Bologna.

Proud to be side by side with SONY Italia Team, meeting lots of photographers interested in SONY Aplha System for underwater photography.

Thank you all for participating in my presentations on macro and wide-angle photography, see you next Year in Bologna!

I will be awarded as highly commended in the next edition of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year #WPY59 with this photo "DEATH IN WAITING".

The award ceremony will take place in London next October 10 at Natural History Museum but it is already available in a preview of 16 selected photos awarded.

This picture was taken in Rijeka, Croatia and represents a Mediterranean Stargazer (Uranoscopus scaber).

This is not a rare encounter in the Mediterranean Sea but this species is not easy to spot as it stays mostly buried in the sand the only elements emerging from the sea floor are its eyes, which seem looking towards the sky, hence its name.

It is an incredible fish with remarkable superpowers: it is almost invisible, perfectly camouflaged, has a strange, worm-shaped tongue which it uses to attract his prays.

It then swallows them so fast they have no time to react. This fish has also poisonous thorns and can even release electric shocks!

I wanted to represent this amazing specimen by enhancing its scary features, as a lurking predator, and to convey this tense atmosphere.

The result is a sort of ghostly face that emerges from a curtain of water.

The feeling is that something terrible is about to happen, and in fact for its prey it is.
