Paola Marinangeli

I have always been fascinated by photography as a form of art but being absorbed by painting (that is my big passion) I didnt' followed up my late father who was a very talented ameteur photographer. Just recently have started to make some shot, just for fun, to test a digital camera I got as a birthday present and so I felt in love more and more with photography. I love to paint still life and probably for this reason still life photos are my most favourite. I like to compose a photographic set the way I am used to do when starting painting and then....see immediately the resul of my photo. This is so exciting. I like alto to make shots of architectural or work of art, living in a wonderful place like Rome, this is quite easy.
I know that I have a lot to learn and practice but this is now another way to express my creativity and feeling, not only thorugh my brushes and canvas but also to my camera. Now I have a reflex digital CANON EOS 400 D.

I have posted the little profile above around one year ago when I have joined FOTOCOMMUNITY.From that time my passion for photography has become stronger and I think my style and skills improved and I am following up new sources of inspiration, experimenting new techniques. I have also started to use my late father cameras, all of them 35 mms as I would like to feel the emotion to work not only in digital. An old Leica IIIC, a PENTAX SP II, YASHIKA MAT 124 these are some of ''old'' cameras I am working with now, together with my CANON EOS Digital. Working with film or digital is not the same, in term of using differently the camera but on the other end despite the more difficult use of film cameras compared to digital, the photography as an artistic way to express creativity is always the same if we consider that photographer's eyes and soul together with tecnique, are the most important "recipes" to make a good photo.
