Marco Serri
To be a photographer, he must be a combination of culture, technique and investment. The photo comes from the head and passes with the right index finger to the mechanical means that concretizes it.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in May 1958, the writer has been holding a camera in his hand since he was four years old. The precious instructions of his father, an excellent photographer, designer and musician, are crucial in the manual setting of the camera, at the time in 120 format and without a light meter, which requires reading the ambient light "by eye" to choose the diaphragms and shutter speeds necessary for the success of the image. Always devoted to sport, in 1987 he won the competition to enter the ISEF of L'Aquila where he graduated with top marks. In October 1981 he did his military service as a reserve officer and at the end, in 1983, he began his school career that would last for forty-two years, with short-term substitute teaching positions in Physical Education in the Public School.

The practice for scuba diving is crucial, the discovery of the wreck of a plane from the last war with its good quantity of large unexploded bombs, some well-curated shots with the NIKONOS, the dive as a guide of the Navy divers, the reclamation of the seabed from the devices and following the interviews for newspapers and TV. Then an article with the photos on IL SUBACQUEO with the offer of the editorial staff for external collaboration and the first step in professionalism is taken.

In that period he also begins his apprenticeship at a professional photography studio, where he refines the techniques and begins to contextualize the contents of the shots according to photojournalistic/reportage canons and thus begins the publication of the photos in the major national newspapers and some international ones. Over the years many work experiences follow one another in the photographic sector and often also in journalism, as in the case of the historic monthly "FOTOGRAFARE", for which the writer conducts and publishes interviews and carries out tests of photographic equipment for several years.

For about ten years, until the early 2000s, he collaborated with the national headquarters of CONFESERCENTI, producing reports of events and conferences. Some services made on behalf of AGI also date back to the same period.

His great passion for music has always been great and the job with the agency of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma came as the greatest of dreams. For many years up to today, the main subjects portrayed were Dance, theater and concerts of all musical genres. Fashion is another sector where the writer has been trying his hand for some time, initially only following the catwalks in events, then, since the latter environment was too inflated, he continued photographing in the studio. In 2017 he purchased a 100 square meter space in the San Lorenzo neighborhood in Rome which he used as a studio with a studio, post-production equipment, an art laboratory for his wife's activities and an exhibition room.
