GIULIA BERSANI DREAMERS &

LOVERS

A twenty-year old Giulia Bersani is considered to be one of the most talented and interesting Italian photographers. Her original photographs, telling about versatile lives of the youth, have attracted not only our attention. Within the last year her works have been published in various internet – magazines devoted to contemporary art, and there were also many rapturous reviews left on the subject of her works. http://giuliabersani.com/

“I’ve never seen the camera I have as a limit”

DPM: To start with, Giulia, how did you become a photographer?

When did you understand that photography is an integral part of your life and you are completely wrapped up in it?

Giulia: To be honest, I still don’t know if I could be called “a photographer”, even if yes, I wish I could live with photography in future, as a job and as a passion at the same time.

I realized that photography is a part of my life and I love it when, one year and half ago, I had no time for it. I attended a school of fashion design and it took me all the time I had. I was going crazy, and that was not what I wanted to do in my life, so I finally decided to stop it and chose a lighter university, so that I would have had the time for starting and concentrating on photography, and I suddenly felt in love with it.

PHOTOGRAPHY

DPM: Giulia, how did you find your personal, original style in photography?

And who do you photograph the most?

Giulia: I found my way to take photos just with a lot of attempts, and letting myself free to follow my instinct. When I do something that I really don’t like, even if it is liked by people, I can’t accept it; it is really hard for me to accept compromises. So I just started shooting regularly a lot of films, and noticing with time what I liked and what I didn’t like, and I started pushing myself on the way of my personal taste.

I’m really attracted by the human being and by nature, so my subjects usually are a mix between those; humans (especially girls) in natural attitudes, sometimes surrounded by natural locations.

DPM: Where do you prefer to work: in a studio or outdoors?

Giulia: I have to admit I never tried the studio for my personal work; maybe it could be interesting, and soon or later I would like to try it. Whatever, I usually shoot outside (or inside, in a room, with all the objects and with natural light) just because it is easier for me, and I really don’t like artificial light. As I told you I’m really fascinated by nature, and that includes the imperfect natural lighting and the imperfect natural places. And I think the sterility of the studio would make photos less tasty.

DPM: What types of camera and lenses do you use while shooting?

Giulia: Any kind. I still use only analogue cameras for my personal work. I started with a Zenit (and it still remains my favorite one), than I tried a Praktica, a Fujica, a Canon and some plastic toys. I’ve never seen the camera I have as a limit. I don’t think there are some cameras better than others, they are just different. Each one has his secrets; the important is to first try it, and to understand what she can give to you. Talking about lenses, I usually use 50 mm ones, just because I’m accustomed to them, and they let me keep the distance I prefer between me and the subject.

Not too near but not to far, so that I can be just a friendly silent observer.
