Pietro Volpato Photographer Venice

professional career

My career as professional photographer in Venice Italy:

  • 2006: When everything began. I’ve got the membership of the National Association of Professional Photographers.
  • 2006-2008: During this time I’ve been one of the photographers of the main Venetian newspaper: Il Gazzettino.
  • 2009-2010: I’d been providing photo shoots for some magazines {Dove by RCS, Slow Food International, Gambero Rosso} and for an advertising agency {Ideazione Adv}.
  • 2011-today: Since then I’ve been providing private photo shoots and photography workshops during tours in Venice. I’m an independent photographer. It means that I manage and take care of any aspect of the job (marketing, booking, shooting and delivering) without any intermediary agency or online company.

Little bit more about me as Venice photographer.

Photography and art are my passion since forever and I love walking. Therefore becoming a photographer in Venice probably was just destiny.

I become a professional photographer in 2006. And, since 2011 I’ve been providing photo shoots and private photography workshops in Venice, during private tours.

Actually I don’t provide anymore photography for wedding ceremonies. Probably this makes me different from the other photographers in Venice, and Italy as well.

main feature

My main feature as photographer and as person too is a synergic balance of professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm. There is a silent mantra that I repeat to myself: be professional, creative and friendly, always!

About the photo shoots people tell me that I’m good at making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. Well, probably it’s a natural skill of mine and for sure it’s important for a photographer, especially if you provide portrait photography.

Instead, for the photography workshops, I can say that I love teaching technique and creativity. Let people to improve their photography skills. Especially because that happens during a pleasant walk, wandering around in Venice.

recently

Recently the competition in Venice is very high. There are literally hundreds photographers providing photography in Venice. Many work for online companies, many are not even professional. This situation is obviously very challenging and also exciting.

Almost every day there are new photographers working in Venice. The secret to survive and success is keep on learning and improving yourself. Always providing high quality and still enjoying on doing your job.

What else to say about being a Venice photographer? Oh yes, let my finish with a kind of joke. I love so much this job, that I could do it for free (in a world without money).

my mantra

Be professional, creative and friendly, always!
