MARCO CANNIZZARO

My name is Marco Cannizzaro, I am 45 years old and come from Karlsruhe, Germany.
I have been a passionate amateur photographer in the field of portrait and fashion since 2007. For me, photography is a where i find balance to my stressful professional life. For me, the focus is not only on the results in the form of images, but also on the "shooting experience". This includes the selection of the model, getting to know each other ,communication, planning the outfits, looking for suitable locations and of course the shoot itself and the post-processing. My Canon EOS50D with the EF-S 15-85mm f / 3.5-5.6 USM and the EF 50mm f / 1.4 USM is a loyal companion I have worked together with numerous models, which I discovered or booked mainly on the website ModelKartei.de. One of the most famous models was "Cold Angel" from Dresden and Comtesse Monique from Frankfurt a.M. Preferred locations for my shoots are intact as well as disused industrial landscapes, palaces, castles or ruins. I mainly use natural sunlight. In 2012 I was very fortunate to meet Sandy Kay. She is an absolute all-rounder model, dancer, make-up artist and DJ. She was enthusiastic about my ideas from the beginning on and was in possession of the appropriate outfits as well as having access to suitable locations. I have done over 60 shootings with her up till now. The pictures were created in an old shipyard at the Rhine. |

Why ZZ Loves It
We love the contrast between location and outfit. The combination of the old industrial location in contrast to the extravagant outfit creates a special atmosphere. The pictures inspire us to believe she might be part of a biker gang waiting for her hog to get fueled up or maybe she is a supervillain plotting her next coup. Whatever action movie you get reminded of is up to you and that is what makes the shooting so special. It really inspires to think and takes us into another dimension.
We are happy to be able to showcase these pictures of Marco and Sandy as part of our Advent calendar.
