Monopoli

Rome, Italy

My name is Silvia, I'm a freelance food photographer and stylist and I live in Rome. I tell stories of conviviality and emotions through images that speak of authentic food and atmospheres. My photographic style is warm and enveloping, with a predilection for soft and natural lights that enhance the beauty of raw materials. I love creating rustic and genuine settings, where warm and natural colors and imperfect details tell of simple and convivial moments. While maintaining a recognizable style, I also like to experiment with other visual languages, to adapt to different projects and tell new stories. I specialize in photography courses at the IED in Rome, I further perfected my training with the Basic + Styling Course of food photography at Monique D'Anna's Dazzero Academy and I obtained a Masterclass - Professional Food Photography at Giunti and Treccani Academy with Alberto Blasetti. In the meantime I attended a cooking course "Cooks you become" at Eataly in Rome. I help food and wine brands and producers to distinguish themselves through emotional images and visual content designed to enhance the identity of the product. I make tailor-made photo shoots for social media, catalogs and campaigns, I deal with food styling, I develop exclusive recipes and create engaging digital content. Each project was born with attention to aesthetics, sustainability and the story that the brand wants to tell.
