Interview With The 2023 New York Photography Awards Winner<\/strong> \u2013 Renzo Cicillini<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Hello, my name is Renzo Cicillini, and I am a passionate photographer in my spare time, living in Switzerland. My journey into the world of photography began quite organically, as I was constantly drawn to the breathtaking landscapes and tranquil scenes near my home, as well as to the various places I visited around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Switzerland, I was always surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Alps. Unfortunately, we don’t have the sea in Switzerland, but we do have beautiful lakes. However, when I am abroad, I also enjoy photographing the peaceful shores of the sea. These environments sparked my initial interest in capturing the world around me. I began experimenting with photography, first as a hobby and then increasingly as a form of artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What really fascinates me about photography is its ability to capture the essence of stillness and tranquility. I have been inspired by the way light, shadows, and colors interact to create a moment of stillness and peace. This led me to take a minimalist approach to my work. Whether I’m using analog film or digital methods, my goal is always to create images that resonate with the viewer on a deeper level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often revisit the same subjects multiple times, trying to capture the varying interplay of natural elements over different days and seasons. This repetitive process helps me establish a deeper connection with the environment and enhances my understanding of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I did it by learning by doing. I have read a lot and still do and have a lot of conversations with other photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Yes, I was 30 years ago with an analog 35mm camera at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I tried a lot of equipment in recent years and I learned that equipment isn’t that important. It is important to have a camera with a viewfinder. I shoot with my digital Fuji GFX medium format camera and with different analog medium format cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
