Photographer Focus: Fabrizio Mingarelli
When in Rome, take great photos. Fabrizio, hailing from the ancient city, obviously knows what to do with a camera. Although I chose his self portrait as the main photo for this post, he definitely has a knack for landscape photography. He sets the scene flawlessly, often portraying people in his photos, which turn out as still-lives instead of portraits. His point of view is really unique, capturing quiet, simple moments in time beautifully, elevating a perfectly normal everyday scene to art.
