Being a portrait photographer is no easy job, you need to have a certain sensibility to get close to the subject, because that photograph will have to express personality, attitude, character and emotions. What Maurizio is trying to do is to create a connection as a human being rather than as an artist. His choice to only focus on portraits, in fact, began from his passion for people. Looking for a way to express that deep connection towards others, Maurizio discovered photography, a technical means that allows him to be creative, since he considers himself not able to create anything new out of nothing. Personally, I think he created something new, but if you told him that, he would deny it, modest as he is. The people Maurizio decided to portray so far, are ordinary people with a day to day look. This choice is dictated by the intention of giving value to the ordinary individual, showing his art that describes our acts and sensations on an everyday basis. Laura Spataro
