Eolo Perfido Curiou
Tell us who is Eolo?
Eolo is a 39 years old photographer born in France and Living in Italy since he was a child. He
made several jobs before understanding at 28 that photography was his way. Now he lives in
Rome where he works as a professional photographer for advertising and editorial industry.
I run a little studio (named smallstudio) where I work with some friends and other freelancers.
How did you first get into photography?
I discovered photography thanks to a friend. I helped him with a small shooting and I was
surprised by the fun i had. So i decided to buy a small camera and try to take some pictures.
The result was good enough to ignite my passion. I took it very seriously since the beginning.
Being 28 with many different work experience behind me helped to understand the quantity
of discipline necessary to transform a passion in a job.
What cameras or techniques do you use?
Right now I use a series of Cameras: I have two Canon 5D Mark II, one Canon 7D, one Panasonic
GH2 and a little Fuji X100. Technically speaking I’m a quite versatile photographer and
I like to experiment many different techniques. And I expecially like to experiment new ones.
What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
Nothing. The process of learning has been important and i appreciated the time spent to gain
experience. And the process is still on going. As you know, learning is a perpetual process.
During the path sometimes it looks like that you feel that growing is getting harder and
harder but is only temporary. You just need to work harder and deeper. Sometimes is also
important to rest and forget about photography for a while.
What are you trying to say with your photographs? I sense the message behind each of
them...
