I AM ENTHUSIAST THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DO YOUR OWN TOUR ON MY WEB AMONG THE MANY VISITABLE. MY NAME IS RAFFAELE LADOGANA AND I AM AN ITALIAN AMATEUR STREET PHOTOGRAPHER. I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPHIC GENRE, THE SPONTANEITY OF THE MOMENT MAKES THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY SHOTS UNIQUE AND I REALLY THINK THAT THIS GENRE IS MAYBE THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO GRAPE THE TRUE ESSENCE HIDING BEHIND THE WORD "PHOTOGRAPHY". WHEN I CLOSE MY EYE TO THE SIGHT OF MY TRUSTED FUJIFILM X100F, I HAVE THE FEELING OF ENTERING A NEW PLACE WHERE I CAN SHOW MY CREATIVITY AND MY VISION OF THE WORLD THAT SURROUNDS ME. AS YOU WILL ALREADY UNDERSTAND I AM A BIG FAN OF FUJIFILM CAMERAS AND ITS MULTIPLE VINTAGE FILM SIMULATIONS (IF YOU ARE INTERESTED I RECOMMEND TO FOLLOW THIS WEB “FUJI X WEEKLY” WHERE YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF FILM SIMULATIONS FOR FUJIFILM) THEY REFER TO THE FILMS OF THE AGE, BUT I ALSO LOVE SHOOTING IN BLACK AND WHITE.

I HAVE CHOSEN TO DIVIDE MY WEBSITE INTO 3 SECTIONS TO OFFER A BETTER CONVENIENCE OF CONSULTING MY GALLERY BY TOPICS.

THE "STREET" SECTION, IS THE MAIN GALLERY THE ONE IN WHICH I TRY MOST OFTEN, SO VERY PROBABLY IT WILL ALSO BE THE MOST RICH IN SHOTS. IT WILL BE FULL OF COLOR PHOTOS WHY I LOVE TO CHANGE FILM SIMULATION OFTEN, BUT THERE WILL OFTEN BE BLACK AND WHITE SHOTS.

IN THE “STORIES” SECTION, YOU WILL FIND ALL THE SHOTS I TAKEN ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS, TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECTS, OR SERIES OF SNAPS LINKED TO EACH OTHER BY A LEADING WIRE. I LOVE TO START AND COMPLETE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECTS OF ANY KIND AND I THINK THEY ARE A GOOD WAY TO KEEP TRAINING AND GROW CREATIVITY.

IN THE THIRD SECTION, THE ONE REFERRING TO “PORTRAITS” INSTEAD, THE ONE REFERRING TO PORTRAITS INSTEAD YOU WILL FIND ALL THE SHOTS OF AMATEUR PORTRAITS THAT I LIKE TO DO WITH FRIENDS AND KNOWLEDGE, HOPING THAT ONE DAY ENTERING ONE OF THEIR BEAUTIFUL HOUSES, YOU CAN FIND ONE HANGING ON THE WALL!! IT WOULD BE VERY REWARDING.

AH I FORGOTTEN... LAST I AM PASSIONATE TO THE NEW "WEB 3" AND ITS ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. "METAVERSO", "CRYPTO VALUTE" AND EVERYTHING THAT GRAVES AROUND THE "NFT", REPRESENTS NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE FOR THE WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART IN GENERAL. SOON I WILL RELEASE MY FIRST COLLECTION OF NFT ON THE FOUNDATION MARKETPLACE. FOR THE MORE EXPERTS OR FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANTED TO CURIOUS, I INVITE YOU TO LOOK AT THE PAGE CREATED FOR THAT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, I RECOMMEND READ THIS POST ON A VERY FAMOUS BLOG THAT EXPLAINS THE WHOLE TOPIC VERY WELL.

I HOPE THAT MY PHOTOGRAPH IS INTERESTING FOR YOU AND MAY ALSO HELP, IN SOME WAY, IN INSPIRING OTHER ARTISTS.

THANKS FOR VISITING.
