Interview With The 2021 New York Photography Awards Winner \u2013 Marcello Niccodemi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Marcello Niccodemi and I\u2019m a landscape photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My interest in photography was born while traveling, for me it was my way to “escape” from reality. I didn’t like the working environment I was in, I didn’t feel at ease and I was worried about the future, so I started to take advantage of every single day off I had to travel, until photography literally stole me and from there, I started another journey, the most beautiful one, within landscape photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m completely self-taught, I took various online lessons and read a few books. Every night after work, I would set about studying to try and improve my knowledge. At first, I was spotty, then I took it as a duty, photographing made me feel really good, despite the bad initial results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first photo was taken with a Canon 100D at the dock of Viareggio. I had photographed one of those tourist binoculars where you insert the coin and in the background were the Apuan Alps, at that time I imagined that in the future they would become like my home. Basically, I didn’t care what to photograph, just do it. It was a bad shot, but you have to start somewhere, don’t you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often tackle long treks in the mountains, many times on icy and slippery surfaces, for this reason I try to keep my photography gear as light as possible, but it’s very difficult. I use a Canon 6D MKII, a Canon 16-35 F2.8 III, a Tamron 100-400 F 4.5-6.3 and sometimes I carry a Dji mavic air 2 with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main focus is to emerge as a landscape photographer, explore new places and photograph natural contexts that are not often captured by photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I am most looking forward to at the moment is my current project “The crumbling beauty” about my home, the Apuan Alps, with the hope of showing the world the beauty of these mountains, whose reputation is too often leveled at: marble quarries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most unique aspects of Iceland is certainly the particular presence of volcanoes that with their destructive \u2026 (read more at New York Photography Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
