MILO MONTELLI

Where are you from? Where do you live?

I was born in Jesi and I live there, in small apartment with my girlfriend.

How old are you?

How do you pay your bills? Are you working as a professional photographer?

I’m a psychologist and this is how I pay my bills. Photography gives me a lot of other things but fortunately.. not money!

What cameras do you use?

Recently I’m using only analog cameras. I mostly use Hasselblad 500cm, Olympus xa, Holga, Polaroid sx-70 and a 6×6 pinhole camera made by a friend.

I’m waiting for my “dream camera”, a Mamiya 7.

Any photographer or artist inspiring you?

I find everyday a lot of great photographers on the web, even not famous.

I love masters like Luigi Ghirri, Mario giacomelli and Stephen Shore.

Their work is very important, eternal.

What/who do you enjoy to shoot the most?

Some places in spring, the beach in winter, my grandmother, trees, objects… When I travel, I enjoy to shoot people: usually it’s too difficult for me.

Do you believe in god?

I’m not catholic, but yes: I believe in God.

What do you drink on a night out?

Grappa and beer.

Do you like dancing?

No, I don’t. I hate it! I look really ridiculous when I try!

What’s your favourite first Name?

Zeus! or Zeuse.

Are you a fashion addicted?

No, I spend all my money for food, cameras and films!

What’s your favourite tv series?

I prefer movies. Anyway, in the last months, I really appreciated “Romanzo Criminale”.

Recommend us a book.

“Vita di un uomo” by Giuseppe Ungaretti.

What’s the country of your dream?

A place I found when I was a child. It was on an illustrated book called “Storie del bosco di gnomi e di giganti”… it’ something like the Smurfs’ village but without Gargamella…

Have you ever been to Iceland?

No but I should go! I really love northern countries.

What song would you choose for a slideshow of your work?

Today: “TNT” by Tortoise
