EMMANUELE DELRIO
Where are you from? Where do you live?
I’m from Reggio nell’Emilia but it’s 7 years that I’m living in Milan.
How old are you?
30.
How do you pay your bills? Are you working as a professional photographer?
I believe in photography as an art, but I can’t make a living out of this, so I prostitute myself doing photography and video for fashion and advertising campaigns. So, to answer your question: yes, I do make my living with photography, though I’m hoping to free myself of the ad work in the future.
What cameras do you use?
I prefer to use analogue cameras, preferably 35mm. I am particularly fond of my Nikon f80 and a Contax t2.
Any photographer or artist inspiring you?
Luigi Ghirri, Pasolini, George Harrison and Dennis Hopper. I love their coherence in making what they did.
What/who do you enjoy to shoot the most?
I love what I live, I shoot what I love. I love living photography in a personal way, watching and capturing frames from the world I would like to live in.
Do you believe in god?
Yes and no. I just wanna be safe.
What do you drink on a night out?
I really love a good grappa or acquavitae but these are usually not easy to find around town, so I usually go for a vodka and ginger. I love ginger.
Do you like dancing?
l like listening to good music and good djs too, so I really should be dancing more.
What’s your favorite first name?
My own. With two m.
Are you a fashion addicted?
Oh no, I hate them. I do care about how I dress, but I usually buy clothes for one euro a piece.
What’s your favorite tv series?
Twin Peaks and The Soprano’s.
Recommend us a book.
“Psicomagia” by Alejandro Jodorowsky. A fantastic mind.
What’s the country of your dreams?
I’d like to travel a lot before deciding.
Have you ever been to Iceland?
Yes. I love it. I’ve lived there for two months; it was the best place I’ve never been.
What song would you choose for a slideshow of your work?
My song of the moment: Out Of The Blue (George harrison-All things must pass).
Ask yourself a question. Tell me your answer (like Marzullo does)
What the most important thing in your life?
Be coherent with myself, loving and living days passing by in the best way, respecting nature and who’s around me.
