Michele Monasta Photography

I am 42 years old, I am married and I have two children Arturo and Matilde. I live in Florence (Italy) I'm an actor since I was 5... and I work by my self as a Photographer specialized in Stage Photography (theatre and cinema, set and backstage) for almost 20 years.

I've start to do Wedding Photography seven years ago because The Wedding Day is a concentrate of emotions that occur "here and now" as the theatre ... and as long as I will shudder with every click I will continue to do so. I love the emotional expression of life in all its forms, the faces, the reactions, the charm, the amazement.

The marvels of daily life are exciting. No Director would be capable of communicating the unexpected that surrounds us.

I have done hundreds Photoservices for theatre and that has given me a particular style for the Wedding Photography… Reportage… Documentary… or, if you prefer, Photojournalism… I like to call THE REAL STORY OF YOUR WEDDING DAY. The goal of a good photographer is taking pictures that will live forever. The wedding reportage that I offer reflects this natural approach.

I like to think that a wedding day is a magical moment and it deserves to be told for how it actually happens. Discretion. No contrived posing. No fake smiles.

For me Photography is the way to keep memories alive and not allow them to disappear from memory.
