In 2019, we published a Photographer's Feature about Marco Boccato. One year later, he's back, but he's not alone. This time, we are telling the story of the collaboration between Marco and Elena.
One day, Marco was contacted on Facebook by makeup artist Elena Beltramello. She had stumbled across his profile and was struck by his photos. They planned a first photo shoot together to get to know each other. That day their collaboration was born. |
MARCO BOCCATO
- Photographer -
My name is Marco Boccato and I am 41 years old. I live in Venice, Italy, and I have been a professional photographer for six years now.
The first time I became passionate about photography was back in December 1996 when my family and I left for a holiday in the mountains. My father had just bought his first camera and I enjoyed immortalizing landscapes and people. In 2013, I bought my first DSLR and started working at city events, and in 2015 I started studying photoshop software and became passionate about this technique. In 2017, thanks to Instagram, I discovered the beauty of fine art and I still dedicate myself to this style today.
I currently work with Nikon and their bright lenses. The photos you can see in this article are shot with a Nikon D810 and a 50.0 mm f/1.8 lens.
For me, beauty is being able to capture a moment that lasts into eternity. I like to believe that what characterises my work compared to other photographers is that I manage to capture the soul through the eyes because everything is reflected from there.
The current goal of my photography is to improve day by day and continue to convey strong emotions through my lens on every occasion.
For the next 5 years, I hope for my work to gain more awareness and to continue the collaboration with Elena Beltramello.

ELENA BELTRAMELLO
- Makeup Artist & Model -
My name is Elena Beltramello and I am 30 years old. I live in Venice and I have been a makeup artist for years.
The first time I discovered the world of make-up was at the age of 14 when I was a teenager. I often made up friends and myself during holidays and other occasions, and quickly realised that I could not do without it anymore and that this was what I wanted to do.
I currently use various brands and like to always experiment with new products which the cosmetics market offers. Personally, the concept of beauty is knowing how to aesthetically improve a person's face and even knowing how to distort it on special occasions.
My goal in the make-up sector is to improve, learn and experiment with new innovative techniques. I believe, that what sets me apart from other makeup artists is that I am versatile. I love natural makeup makeup bridal special effects but I'm also passionate about body paint, face paint, and belly paint.
In the next 5 years I hope to establish myself in the beauty world and to continue collaborating with Marco Boccato.
