EDITORIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER
CINEMATIC FILMMAKER
Kaleidos derives from two ancient Greek words, Kalos and Eidos,
which stand for “beautiful image”
It was many centuries earlier, in the year 1816, that the Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster, inspired by the word Kalos, invented the Kaleidoscope, an optical instrument with fragments of mirrors and glass capable of creating such spectacular and marvellous optical toys.
Thirty years later, another scientist, William Henry Fox Talbot, inspired by the word Kalos, invented the calotype, a photography process that allowed to chemically transform a latent image into a fully visible image.
For the first time in history it was possible to obtain an innumerable set of prints from the negative image.
In this way, Kaleidos was born between beauty and wonder.
The philosophy
The philosophy of Kaleidos Wedding revolves around two complementary principles.
Documentary Photography
Firstly, it draws inspiration from the candid, unscripted moments of documentary photography and reportage. Here, the photographer seeks to capture the genuine, natural essence of each moment, aiming to freeze emotions in their raw and unrepeatable state.
Editorial Photography
Secondly, it is influenced by the meticulous approach of editorial photography. Here, composition is carefully crafted and planned, akin to what one might see in a fashion magazine spread. Attention is given to details, composition, and creativity, ensuring each image showcases the aesthetic aspects to their fullest potential.
The philosophy of Kaleidos Wedding seamlessly blends the spontaneity of emotions with intentional compositional planning, creating a harmonious balance between capturing genuine moments and crafting visually striking images.

04
How you are working your photographic material?
"Time, rigor, and artistic vision are integral to the process of selecting and editing photos, as well as developing the raw photographic material.
Editing stands out as the most delicate and crucial phase, requiring thoughtful consideration of the entire narrative while acknowledging the impact of each individual photo. Postproduction aligns with the development aspect, as a digital professional camera generates a raw, unprocessed file—akin to a negative in analog photography—necessitating transformation into a positive image to reveal its inherent light.
At Kaleidos, our philosophy dictates that each photo should exude its unique harmonic strength while seamlessly contributing to the overall narrative's harmony. Typically, I deliver approximately 100 images for a couple or an individual photo session and around 800 photos for a full-day wedding (in both web-friendly and print-quality JPG formats)."
