Stefano Fiorentin

I was first introduced to photography at a very early age and since then it has been a very important part of my life. I was fortunate to have been able to study under big name Italian photographers (P.Bonfanti, G.Carnio) and to achieve a high standard of professionalism in my approach to work and in fulfilling the ideals of each of my clients. Whether it is fashion or commercial photography, special events or weddings, I see each task as an enjoyable challenge to combine my artistic instinct with the demands of the client and the latest trends in visual imaging.
 
In 1995 I launched my career and began working with advertising agencies in Milan.
At the same time, I was developing my own unique style of wedding and fashion photography.

 The experience I acquired while working with top photographers has enabled me to provide the professional and esthetical criteria expected by clients. Some of those who entrusted the introduction of their lines to me include: Gucci, Samsonite, Mauri shoes and many other world renown companies who pay a lot of attention to high quality photography and visual images in general.

After almost 10 years of work and developing my clientele in the fashion houses of Milan and other Italian metropolises, in 2004 I opened a studio in Zagreb with the intention of bringing forth my experience and knowledge to Croatia.

While being heavily employed in the field of wedding photography, I also work with Revije d.o.o. publishers (Vita, Tena, Teen) for whom I do cover pages, beauty and fashion photography. I also do special events (Bang and Olufsen, Hypo Alpe Adria Bank) and I am the official photographer for Mag Regatta in organization with the Mobilkom Austria Group.

In 2004 I shot the season of Big Brother.

I also shot the album cover for the Croatian actress and pop singer Antonija Šola.

In December of 2006, I held an exposition called 'Close Up' where creations by fashion designers Envy Room were displayed through my photography.

I continue to work with clients in Italy and other European countries and I am open to new clients.

 
 

To whom would you recommend your style of wedding photography?

My clients have a sophisticated taste in photography, but above all they value quality.
Because of my unique style, I am also sought out by international clients and by all those who desire elegant and spontaneous photography, which is at the same time so vivid, that it is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Why choose a professional photographer?

A wedding album presents a memory that lasts, but the story told in that album is the most vivid memory of the couple's wedding day. To choose a professional means that at the same time, you are entrusting the photographer with your deepest feelings on the special day; happiness, laughter, tears and all other emotions. You are also confident that the photographer will know how to re-tell those feelings and emotions through his photography. I will prove my expertise to those who trust in me, and under all conditions will I know how to achieve the anticipated result.

How do you approach wedding photography?

To tell a story of the wedding of two people requires maximum engagement, submission and directing attention to even the littlest details. In addition, discretion also plays an important role: to document a wedding in the same way that was planned by the couple means to fully adapt to the given situation and not impose or influence the flow of their wedding.

What are the main characteristics of your wedding photography?

Elegance, spontaneity and photographs full of emotion are the main characteristics of my wedding photography. I approach each wedding with special attention because I want to portray the atmosphere, lighting and ambiance of that day as realistically as possible, just exactly as it was. Thanks to my comprehensive knowledge of technique, I am able to instantly get what I am looking for. I know how to achieve this with my creativity and I don't allow myself to go into so much editing, which is otherwise something that others who do not have this knowledge tend to struggle with.  What I achieve for my couples is that every time they open their wedding album and look at the photographs, they feel those same very real emotions just like on their wedding day. I also apply my experience in the field of fashion photography to create a real wedding fashion photograph.

How may one contact you live and see examples of your work?

It is a pleasant environment, which allows the couple to escape the stress of wedding preparations and gives them the opportunity to get closely acquainted with photo and video production, myself and my colleagues; In addition, I can also be contacted through my website www.stefano.com.hr
