<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Ciao Michele! Benvenuto su Candiesmag. Una rapida intro, da dove vieni, quanti anni hai e quanti ne hai passati in sella ad una bmx fin ora?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Vengo da Lecco, ho 21 anni e sono 7 anni che volteggio sulla mia bmx.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/seatgrab.jpg" rel="lightbox[20772]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20776" title="seatgrab" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/seatgrab.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="412" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Sponsors ed hook ups?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Grazie a Frontocean bmx e Etnies per il grande supporto</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Grazie a &#8221;IlButta bmx&#8221; per essere un covo di pirati</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Qual ‘è il tuo bike set up attuale?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Bicicletta gentilmente offerta da Frontocean bmx, telaio Montana in onore di &#8221;Steve&#8221;(Stefan Lantschner) e sella tie dye in onore di Simo Kid (Simone Barraco), niente segni particolari se non fosse per il fatto che è imbizzarrita!!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/profilo.jpg" rel="lightbox[20772]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20775" title="profilo" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/profilo.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ricordi come hai approcciato la bmx per la prima volta? Semplicemente per un “giro in bici” alternativo o avendo già qualche idea sul mondo che si celava dietro di essa?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Credo che come per la maggior parte dei rider di bmx l&#8217; intento iniziale era quello di girare in motocross, purtroppo i costi non me lo hanno permesso, quindi ho cominciato a girare in bici come alternativa alla moto, ma la versatilità di queste biciclettine mi ha gasato non poco.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wall.jpg" rel="lightbox[20772]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20778" title="wall" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wall.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="449" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Quali sono i tuoi spots preferiti?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Sicuramente Lambro, Buttapark, street ovunque e per finire il nostro &#8221;trail segreto dei boschi&#8221;.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Mentre il tuo spot ideale, che caratteristiche dovrebbe avere?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> il mio spot ideale sta crescendo poco a poco nel backyard di Frontocean, presto sara maturo e potremo appprezzarlo a pieno.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Che te ne pare della situazione in Italia? Se da una parte nascono strutture e crews disposte a sbattersi, in alcune città ancora la bmx viene vista come un divertimento per i bambini al parco. Come la pensi?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Penso che la situazione bmx in italia non sia delle migliori, ma credo che piu che stare a lamentarsene dovremmo tutti impegnarci a crescere la scena tutti uniti e gasati!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/gap.jpg" rel="lightbox[20772]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20774" title="gap" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/gap.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="388" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">La tua giornata ideale di riding? Hai qualche “rituale” per caricarti prima di uscire?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> La mia giornata ideale di riding penso potrebbe essere una giornata in compagnia di tutti i miei compagni di riding, non importa dove. Mmmmm no niente rituali per me, mi basta sapere di non dovere girare da solo.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/table-lambro.jpg" rel="lightbox[20772]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20777" title="table lambro" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/table-lambro.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Come passi il tempo quando non sei sulla tua bike?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Schockmansion.com consuma tutte le mie energie rimaste dopo il riding.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Dove ti vedi tra qualche anno? Hai già dei progetti o delle idee in merito?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> No per ora zero progetti, spero solo di poter cavalcare il mio ferro il piu a lungo possibile, e di riuscire a spaccare al massimo delle mie potenzialità.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Grazie mitch per l’intervista, keep riding!!</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Grazie a voi, godetevi gli scatti di Ale froio, ha davvero spaccato sto giro!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Terzo episodio per la nostra rubrica dedicata a fotografi e filmer emergenti e primo capitolo “genovese”. Federico è sicuramente un bravo fotografo e anche per quel poco che lo conosco una persona onesta e divertente. L’ultima volta che l’ho incontrato stava provando wallride nel corridoio di un centro sociale con scritto “bella zio” con il pennarello in faccia.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cassan-bs-smith.jpg" rel="lightbox[20578]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20581" title="Cassan bs smith © Federico Casella" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cassan-bs-smith.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="406" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ciao Federico! Presentati brevemente, da dove vieni e quanti anni hai?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ciao sono Federico, vivo a Genova e ho 19 anni.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Che attrezzatura ti porti dietro per una bella session fotografica e magari una skateata?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Visto la &#8220;sketchyness&#8221; della mia strumentazione la cosa fondamentale prima di uscire di casa è controllare di avere almeno un rotolino di scotch e/o almeno un tubetto di colla a caldo, non si sa mai hahaha. Comunque mi muovo più o meno sempre con 7D, canon 70-200 L f:4, un 50mm macro f: 2,8 sigma, samyang 8mm, una canon canonet 28 giusto per appesantire lo zaino, tutta la miriade di cavi, cavetti, trigger, batterie, schedine, cazziemmazzi e un paio di flash, attualmente metz af-1 50 e metz af-1 48 anche se nel corso della mia &#8220;carriera&#8221; fotografica ho avuto la gioia di spaccarne abbastanza da riempirci una mensola hahaha.  Poi ovviamente  ho sempre la mia vx1, fonte di interminabili soddisfazioni, un raymod fish e un opteka (tnx Cuccio), batterie e abbastanza cassettine mini dv da potermi permettere di filmare ogni barbone che piscia lungo la strada senza rischiare di non avere più spazio per il trick.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Vedo sempre più skaters che di tanto in tanto posano i deck ed imbracciano videocamera e reflex, in alcuni casi diventando veri esperti di montaggio e post produzione. Nel tuo caso come ti sei avvicinato ad entrambe le cose?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ho iniziato a fotografare grazie allo skate. Mi ricordo quando 3 anni fa, agli albori della mia carriera &#8220;skateantistica&#8221;, giravo sempre con la mia fedele potato cam a cassettine, rigorosamente senza fish,  e una vecchia nikon f-401x dei miei genitori, cercando di documentare tutto ciò che mi accadeva attorno, filmando e fotografando trick, birre, cazzeggio… le solite cose. La faccenda è diventata più seria quando due anni fa mi sono rotto il legamento della caviglia sx, che mi ha costretto a sei mesi di stop forzato in cui ho approfondito la componente fotografica. Adesso sono appena uscito da tre mesi di filming intenso dopo aver rotto lo stesso legamento nella caviglia destra hahah. Aspetto solo di rompermi qualcos&#8217;altro per imparare a cazzeggiare  bene in after effects haha.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/bromo-bs-flip-over.jpg" rel="lightbox[20578]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20580" title="bromo bs flip over © Federico Casella" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/bromo-bs-flip-over.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="915" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Cosa pensi della scena genovese dal punto di vista dello skate? Hai contribuito anche attivamente alla ristrutturazione del Govi Skatepark (in Corso Italia a Genova, NdA), quindi probabilmente avrai qualcosa da dire?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">La scena genovese, oltre ad essere decisamente piccola, è molto divisa e disordinata. Le varie &#8220;crew&#8221; si chiudono in se stesse, la gente in generale ha poca voglia di fare, di muoversi, di costruire qualcosa di nuovo, alla fine anche i diy spots sono tenuti insieme dalle solite tre persone, non c&#8217;è collaborazione. Servirebbe un punto di ritrovo fisso, uno skateshop come uno spot di riferimento, in cui la gente si possa pompare a vicenda, un posto libero da bambini in monopattino e caschetto e pattinatori strafottenti che ti tagliano le linee. Detto questo in generale il livello non è malaccio, ai Govi sei quasi sicuro di trovare sempre qualche park rat che si prepara le linee, buttando anche qualche trick fico e qualche volta originale.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Gamondi-Ditch.jpg" rel="lightbox[20578]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20582" title="Gamondi Ditch © Federico Casella" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Gamondi-Ditch.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Oltre che i ragazzini in tavoletta fotografi con molta cura anche torte e dolci per un blog <em>[www.cakemania.it]. </em>Come curi il set-up per questo tipo di fotografia? Ti sei costruito anche dei fondali o simili?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Per queste cose sono un fautore del diy. Qualche cartoncino, qualche stoffa, polistirolo, alluminio a iosa, gelatine, ombrellini fai da te… Alla fine basta poco per ottenere qualche buon risultato. Poi è sempre divertente giocare con i flash per ottenere &#8220;l&#8217;illuminazione perfetta&#8221; hahaha se ti piace come tipo di fotografia ti ci puoi divertire molto, anche se so di alcuni che lo trovano terribilmente noioso, son gusti…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Studi fotografia? Hai fatto corsi o simili, o comunque conti di farli nell’immediato futuro, oppure tutta autoformazione?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Zero. Mi sono iscritto ad un corso base l&#8217;anno scorso, giusto per curiosità, ma l&#8217;ho trovato terribilmente noioso e l&#8217;ho lasciato dopo due lezioni. Pian piano mi sto creando una piccola libreria di manuali e libri vari e vado molto con quelli e con tutorial su youtube come se non ci fosse un domani hahah. Ovviamente cerco sempre l&#8217;occasione per scroccare qualche consiglio a chi ne sa molto più di me (che ultimamente è quasi sempre Fede Romanello haha grazie Fede) e me la giostro un po&#8217; così. L&#8217;anno prossimo vorrei iscrivermi alla Bauer a Milano e studiare Fotografia  a tempo pieno, affiancandola a una laurea in design, ma per ora tra scuola e skate ho giusto il tempo per cazzeggiare un&#8217;oretta al giorno sul computer, purtroppo.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/gelatina-mandarini.jpg" rel="lightbox[20578]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20583" title="gelatina mandarini © Federico Casella" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/gelatina-mandarini.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Che approccio hai con photoshop e la post-produzione in genere? Complessivamente ogni tuo singolo scatto quanto tempo richiede nel passare da .raw a .jpeg?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Beh dipende. Lo scatto still life della torta oramai è un movimento meccanico, importo la foto e in due minuti in genere è fatta, se lavoro su una foto in street con mille riflessi, illuminazioni strane eccetera boh, mi sa che la volta che ci son stato di più ci sono stato tre ore, anche se in generale non ci spendo mai meno di mezzora, voglio tirare sempre fuori il meglio che posso, non mi piace fare le foto a tirar via.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nik.jpg" rel="lightbox[20578]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20584" title="nik" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nik.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="915" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Facebook ed i vari social network (si, anche Google+) sono ridondati ormai di fotografie di ogni sorta e tipo. Credi che questa facilità nel far girare i propri scatti sia un aspetto positivo o negativo?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Sicuramente positivo, è una buona occasione oltre che per farsi conoscere, per imparare dagli altri, confrontarsi, migliorare. Detto questo bisogna anche tutelare sempre il proprio lavoro, magari evitando giganteschi watermark tipo &#8220;federicocasella skateboardingandfoodphotography&#8221; appiccicati qua e la per la foto. I creative commons esistono per questo.</span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/54566257" width="610" height="458" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Non potevo mancare questa domanda: hai recentemente messo le mani su una bella VX1000. Come ti trovi a filmare? Trovi molte analogie con la fotografia?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">La vx1000 è un sogno che si avvera. Ci sto ancora prendendo la mano ma devo dire che mi ci sto divertendo tantissimo. Per filmare sia in fish che in longlens è comodissima, poi il classico effetto vx è a mio parere imbattibile. Con la fotografia poi le analogie sono tantissime, le costruzioni delle inquadrature funzionano più o meno alla stessa maniera solo che puoi giocare col movimento all&#8217;interno dell&#8217;immagine, aprendoti combinazioni infinite di luci e movimenti.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">In definitiva: sei ai Govi; hai lo skate, la reflex e la videocamera: cosa prendi per primo?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Beh la mia giornata tipo di skate si divide la maggior parte delle volte in tre fasi:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">1) arrivo al park o allo spot e inizio a skateare</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">2) mi faccio male a una delle due caviglie, sbatto un po&#8217; la tavola in terra, tiro due bestemmie e mi incazzo</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">3) apro lo zaino e inizio a filmare/fotografare haha</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">No scherzi a parte cerco sempre di skateare il più possibile, cercando sempre però di riconoscere il momento in cui è meglio prendere la vx o la reflex e fotografare o filmare il trick giusto al momento giusto. Che esca solo per fotografare o filmare capita solamente quando le caviglie mi negano di skateare, e comunque mi ci diverto tanto quanto!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Per il secondo capitolo della nostra rubrica dedicata a fotografi e filmer emergenti abbiamo scelto un giovanissimo ma ispiratissimo fotografo e skater, viene dalle parti di Lugano e si chiama Enea Auberson!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ciao Enea! Benvenuto su candiesmag! Dopo tanto tempo che ti seguo su FB e Flickr finalmente un dialogo un po’ più articolato! Intro di rito &#8211; da dove vieni e quanti anni hai?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ciao Carlo!Ho 17 anni e vivo a Lugano, in Svizzera.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012904121.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20440" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012904121.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="918" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ricordi ancora la tua prima foto? Cosa ti ha spinto inizialmente a prendere in mano per la prima volta la macchina fotografica e cosa ha fatto si che diventasse una parte – immagino – predominante nella tua vita?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Beh, la prima foto che ho scattato no, però ricordo che la prima volta in cui ho trovato una soddisfazione per una foto che ho fatto è stato in montagna, nel 2009 credo…correvo nel prato con la reflex di mio padre cercando di fotografare un insetto che saltellava in giro, e dopo circa mezz’ora di inseguimento ho ottenuto ciò che volevo! È stato in quel momento, credo, che ho iniziato a vedere la fotografia in un altro modo.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;"> Dopo un po’ di tempo poi ho provato ad abbinarla allo skate e da lì è nata la grande passione.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Cosa c’è nel tuo zaino fotografico attualmente? Stai pensando anche a qualche upgrade?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Allora&#8230;visto che in prevalenza faccio foto di skate non posso farmi mancare della cera, delle stringhe e dei cuscinetti (sarebbe peccato perdere uno scatto per della cera che manca o per un cuscinetto che si rompe!) …per il materiale fotografico invece ho: Nikon D90, Nikon 50mm 1.8, Nikon 10.5mm 2.8, Nikon 70-200mm 2.8, 2 flash (un Nikon SB900 e un Canon 430EZ), Canon EOS 1dmkII, Canon 20-35mm, Cactus V5 e 2 cavalletti Manfrotto Nano.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Riguardo all’upgrade si, appena avrò i soldi vorrei cambiare il corpo macchina! I nuovi modelli che ha sfornato Nikon sono dei gioiellini, però sono un po’ lenti per poter fare delle sequence decenti, e tutti quei soldi per avere gli 11fps della D4 non ce li ho! Ahah…non mi resterà che andare sull’usato e cercare una D700 o magari perché no, una D3!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-01290412-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20439" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-01290412-1.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="918" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Sfogliando il tuo portfolio non si può che rimanere impressionati dall’incredibile progressione fatta rispetto agli esordi. Sapresti dire quali siano stati i fattori che più ti abbiano aiutato a crescere in questo senso?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Vero! A volte riguardo le vecchie foto e mi metto a ridere…anche se però allo stesso tempo mi dico “beh, se vedo tutta questa differenza vuol dire che ho fatto passi avanti!”. Diciamo che questo miglioramento è dato soprattutto dai miei amici che mi hanno sempre dato la possibilità di provare e riprovare e hanno fatto da “cavie”…all’inizio molte volte capitava che per arrivare ad un risultato decente rifacevano il trick decine di volte!</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Penso che la cosa più importante se si vuole avanzare è non aver paura di provare cose nuove. Magari all’inizio i risultati sono scadenti e anche demoralizzanti, ma c’è da ricordarsi che si impara dai propri errori e la prossima volta si farà meglio!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hai avuto diverse collaborazioni in diversi ambiti, da gruppi musicali a skaters, quali sono stati ad ora i lavori che più ti hanno dato soddisfazione, o comunque le collaborazioni più importanti?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Beh, nell’ambito skate diciamo che un mio grande traguardo è stato la pubblicazione di alcune mie foto sulla rivista di svizzera Whiteout! È stato sempre il mio sogno e alla fine ce l’ho fatta! Prima di questo però ho pubblicato diverse foto online come report di contest per marche diverse, sul giornale locale, o stampe di flyer per eventi.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Per i gruppi musicali invece ho fatto diverse foto promo, alcune finite su manifesti, altre sul giornale locale e una su 6:00AM. Tutto sommato sono molto contento dei lavori di questo ultimo anno!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012612111.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20438" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012612111.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="918" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Fotografi innumerevoli tricks alla bowl di Lugano ma non è raro vederti in clips e foto mentre te la skatei. So già la risposta, ma quanto è importante nell’essere un buon fotografo di skate essere anche uno skater?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Trovo che sia una delle cose fondamentali per uno scatto ben riuscito! Spesso vedo foto su giornali fatte da fotografi professionisti che però non sanno niente di skate…a livello di illuminazione si nota la qualità del professionista ma poi tutto cade quando si guardano inquadratura e resto…li mi rendo veramente conto di quanto sia importante conoscere un po’ da vicino la disciplina! Se sei uno skater vedi tutto in un altro modo e stai attento a dettagli che magari un fotografo “normale” tralascerebbe come la rincorsa dello spot o l’atterraggio che molto spesso possono determinarne la difficoltà! Per non parlare del timing in cui vengono fermati i trick…se ne vedono di tutti i colori!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Dato 100 il tempo dedicato ad una foto finita pronta per la pubblicazione, come suddivideresti percentualmente il tempo che solitamente dedichi a scelta dello spot, dell’inquadratura, della composizione ed infine della post produzione?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Secondo me se una foto è ben pensata e sviluppata in partenza l’uso della post-produzione diventa veramente limitato, mi verrebbe da dire un 70 alla preparazione ecc e 30 di post produzione.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Anche se però in certe situazioni si è limitati proprio dalle prestazioni del materiale fotografico a disposizione. In quel caso trovo che una corretta post produzione possa fare molto! Personalmente scattando in raw do semplicemente una regolata a luci/ombre, contrasto, bilanciamento colore e curve.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-011811121.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20436" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-011811121.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="918" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">A proposito di photoshop. Dopo essere finito nel frigo, in una lavatrice, ed anche in un WC (Enea è un ottimo manipolatore di immagini, N.d.A.) ci dici a tuo parere quanto sia importante al giorno d’oggi per un “buon” fotografo, essere anche un capace utente di Photoshop etc.?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Come ogni cosa ps va usato nel modo giusto e non eccessivamente, però essere capaci ad utilizzare un software così potente può essere vantaggioso!</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Molti lo criticano, ma io trovo che ormai photoshop sia diventato un elemento chiave nella fotografia digitale. È uno strumento di lavoro in più che ci è stato dato dunque perché non usarlo?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Parlare solo di skateboard sarebbe alquanto limitante, siccome hai ottime foto un po’ in tutti i settori. Tu personalmente quale preferisci? Pensi ci siano ambiti dove la creatività è più stimolata rispetto ad altri?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Allora…tralasciando lo skate la cosa che preferisco sono i paesaggi! Abitando un po’ isolato dal mondo e in mezzo al bosco ho la fortuna di poter vedere tramonti e altre situazioni stupende! Ogni volta rimango stupito e non posso fare a meno che prendere la macchina fotografica e immortalare il panorama.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Penso che i momenti più creativi siano semplicemente quelli in cui provi a fare qualcosa di nuovo…in quell’istante tutte le porte sono aperte e le possibilità sono infinite! L’unica cosa che ti limita è la fantasia e la capacità nell’usare il materiale che hai a disposizione!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-01250912.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20427" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-01250912.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="405" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Giri spesso con gli skaters del team Warriors; stai attualmente collaborando a qualche progetto particolare con loro?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Per il momento nulla di particolare…siamo tutti molto presi e abbiamo sospeso per un po’ la rivista online “Wagazine”…continuiamo sempre con i cataloghi per i nuovi vestiti e sia io che l’altro fotografo siamo pieni di materiale pronto per l’uso!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Cosa ci dici a riguardo della tua formazione fotografica? Hai seguito corsi, o comunque investito in qualcosa di specifico o anche tu un adepto del DIY?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Qua in Ticino purtroppo non ci sono molte vie di formazione per la fotografia, dunque ho optato per il DIY. Basta solo avere un po’ di perseveranza e pian piano i risultati arrivano!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012402121.jpg" rel="lightbox[20423]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20437" title="ph Enea Auberson" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/foto_itw-012402121.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="918" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hai dei “mentori” o comunque fotografi a cui ti ispiri per i tuoi lavori?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Non posso proprio dire di avere UN fotografo a cui mi ispiro, però se devo dire un nome penso a David Tur. Tra l’altro un grandissimo grazie va però ad Alan Maag, che da ormai quasi 2 anni a questa parte continua ad aiutarmi e darmi consigli senza stancarsi mai! THANKS ALAN!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Pensi ci sarà spazio per la fotografia anche nel tuo futuro? Credi sia (ancora) possibile farne una professione, seppure con tutte le contraddizioni che stanno nascendo in questo ambito?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Spero di si!! Farne una professione è possibile, ma qua in Svizzera non credo si possa campare di fotografia…magari in altri posti si!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Grazie Enea per il tuo tempo! Seguite i suoi lavori su <strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ene_/"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Flickr</span></a></strong> e <strong><a title="500px" href="http://500px.com/Enea_"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">500px</span></a>!</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">UnderExposure is our new section dedicated to emerging photographers and filmers. Words, pics, ideas, inspiration and stories told through the words and not only through pixels. There were a few names to choose from, and we decided Sergio Pontillo because he&#8217;s totally new on this mag and we&#8217;re a bit curious!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hi Sergio, welcome on Candiesmag! It&#8217;s raining cats and dogs while I&#8217;m writing. Cool! Let&#8217;s make a quick intro to present yourself to our readers:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Hi, my name is Sergio Pontillo, I&#8217;m 20, I&#8217;m afraid of driving alone, I know some Italian cities better than the one where I live (Napoli) and I like cooking. Skateboarding is the source of all my satisfactions, successes and failures, thoughts and ideas of my last 7 years. I take pics from 5 years.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Dario-Dessi_fs-board_pozzuoli.jpg" rel="lightbox[20378]"><img title="Dario Dessi_fs board_pozzuoli" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Dario-Dessi_fs-board_pozzuoli.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="865" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">It&#8217;s strange how I run across your pics for the very first time. I bought a trigger Cactus V5, I took a look at the attached sample and I saw a beautiful skate pic made by an Italian.. and with an entry camera like the D60..I immediately looked for <em><a title="Sergio on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/serskater/"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">your profile on flickr</span></a></em> and your pics were the best presentation possible. How did you pic arrived on that flyer? Do you still use the cactus triggers? </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">It was unusual for me too when an Italian wrote me for my pic on the Cactus flyer (and great too!) <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ve always used them since I bought my second flash. I used to use the v3 but after that publication they sent me a couple of v4s, and it&#8217;s what I&#8217;m using now.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Let&#8217;s going on with your equipment&#8230; The photographers&#8217; backpacks are really heavy. What&#8217;s in yours? And most of all, what could never miss in your backpack before a shooting session?<br />
</span></strong><span style="color: #00ffff; text-align: justify;">My backpack is surely heavy: inside there are &#8211; besides a second pair of socks, laces and a seven of diamonds &#8211; a Nikon d60, a totally manual 50mm f1.4 and 35mm f2.8 Nikon, a 55-200mm Nikon, a fisheye Tokina 10-17mm, a Cactus v4s, 2 non-TTL flashes , an analogue compact Canon, colored jelly and other filters, a Sony TRV900 with fisheye, grip, batteries and extra minidv. Before every session I watch whatever clips with Ryan Ticknor, my favourite skater. It became quite a rite.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">There&#8217;s always a story behind every photographer. Can you remember what was your first picture? Was it a random approach or a weighted one?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">At the beginning I was using my father&#8217;s compact camera, just to take pics with family and friends. I&#8217;ve always loved keeping memory of my days, I think past is very important and it&#8217;s also the only sure and real thing we have <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think my first skate picture was in the parking lot of the Centro Direzionale, I had my father&#8217;s old flash which couldn&#8217;t be synchronized with the camera, so I used to push the flash button with one hand and the camera with the other&#8230; the fastest fingers in the west.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vitto.jpg" rel="lightbox[20378]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20385" title="vitto" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vitto.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="419" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">You&#8217;re very young but with a great portfolio. What are the highlights in your career as photographer?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">It&#8217;s funny how my few highlights come all from flickr! First of all the appearance on the Cactus flyer. Then the cooperation with a German brand of street culture (H1pnuz) – the guy came to Naples to shoot with the brand&#8217;s t-shirts. I made with a few others an advertising spot in stop motion for some watches. Three of my pics were published on 6:00am, and finally you <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What can you tell us about your schooling? Did you take part to classes and courses or you learned it all by yourself?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">DIY since the beginnings. I learned watching pictures on flickr, reading a lot on the web and taking tons of pics, experimenting and failing too. Last year I joined the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, the only school I attend with joy. So now I&#8217;m studying photography, cinema and tv.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Pezzotto_flip-over_afragola.jpg" rel="lightbox[20378]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20384" title="Pezzotto_flip over_afragola" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Pezzotto_flip-over_afragola.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="865" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">A lot of photographers decide to specialize as videomakers and I know you realize some clips every now and then. Are they two complementary fields or you had to start from zero?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Surely they&#8217;re two very close fields. If you can take pics you can also shoot with a videocamera. With the new cameras you can even do it all with just one reflex. The coming of dslr in the field of skateboarding clips is a revolution. A lot of people criticize them because it&#8217;s deeply different from the combo vx1000 mk1. But in the right hands also a dslr can produce good clips, it&#8217;s simply another way of filming.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Your blog is great starting from the name: <a href="http://serialchillers.wordpress.com/">http://serialchillers.wordpress.com/</a> . Tell us something about it.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">The name is an idea of my friend Antonio (Romanelli), the guy I run the blog with. Serial Chillers because we live skateboarding to the fullest without being trapped in the negativity and competitiveness of many other skaters. Skateboarding it&#8217;s not about how many stairs you can ollie or how many flips you can do, otherwise nobody could talk about skateboarding except Rodney Mullen. We think skateboarding is few but good friends, a pavement and beers with lemon <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RosnVGfH_tc?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" width="610" height="343"></iframe></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Besides skateboarding what are the other subjects you like capturing?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Faces, mouths, noses, eyes, eye circles, eyelashes, teeth, hair, scratches, smiles. I love photographing people, both the known and unknown ones.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Pezzotto_amore_front.jpg" rel="lightbox[20378]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20383" title="Pezzotto_amore_front" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Pezzotto_amore_front.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="412" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Another subject I like is postproduction: yes/no/maybe. What do you think about photoshop, use and abuse, and about the complexity of a software which is often taken lightly even by the pros?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Like evey powerful thing, it can be good and bad. I hate the pictures with too much postproduction. I personally use it only to adjust contrast/level/curves, color balance and rarely to erase the rumor. I think that textures, flares and fake lights don&#8217;t make a picture better but simply more fake.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">This was a year full of high tech news, with Nikon that tried to make FX filming accesible to everyone. Do you already know what you&#8217;ll buy in the future?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Nothing, but if I earn some money I&#8217;ll take the d600. I&#8217;m waiting for it by Nikon, a full frame that films too so I could use the 50 – my favourite lenses – to the fullest, I could film in HD for the Serial Chillers film and I could make sequences with the 5,5 fps <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m a bit upset cause Canon is superior in terms of filming&#8230;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Max-Calviati_polejam_centrodirezionale.jpg" rel="lightbox[20378]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20382" title="Max Calviati_polejam_centrodirezionale" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Max-Calviati_polejam_centrodirezionale.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="882" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What do you think about the fact that &#8220;everybody is a photographer nowadays?&#8221;</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">I really don&#8217;t care, everybody can do what he wants. What surprises me is the amount of young people who succeed into makin new and fresh things and nobody cares about them. On the magazines I see always the same few names, or people who&#8217;ve taken pictures for less than a year and they&#8217;re on a mag only because they&#8217;re with &#8220;famous&#8221; skaters.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">How&#8217;s your arm? There&#8217;s a very important link between photographer and photographed subject. Do you think that a good photographer should be also a rider?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Now my arm is good enough to skate <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  If you want to photograph skateboarding you have to be a skater, absolutely&#8230; otherwise you can&#8217;t capture a difficult trick in the right way, or an easy trick in the right place because you don&#8217;t understand it to the fullest. Somebody who doesn&#8217;t skate can&#8217;t see the difference between a trick and the other and this is evident in pictures where the skater is placed in the middle and you can&#8217;t see where does he come from neither where is he going&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Sergio thank you a lot for your time, last space is yours as usual:</span></strong><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Abbiamo avuto l’occasione di scambiare due parole con Martino Prendini, co-creatore assieme ad Irene Tomaini del “laboratorio creativo”, cosi come loro stessi amano definire l’agenzia di comunicazione “<strong><a title="Mary and the teapot" href="http://www.maryandtheteapot.com/"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Mary and the Teapot</span></a></strong>”.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/4.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20330" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/4.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="520" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ciao Martino! Grazie per la disponibilità e benvenuto su Candiesmag. La domanda più difficile… descrivi te stesso in una rapida presentazione!</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ciao Carlo, il piacere è mio e grazie a voi! Dunque, che dire su di me, amo i gruppi progressive rock degli anni d&#8217;oro e il reggae francese, amo le imprecisioni, la carta e i momenti morti in un viaggio. Credo di me potranno dire certamente che sono curioso ed adattabile, e credo questo si rispecchi in Mary.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ho scoperto i tuoi lavori, come spesso succede, quasi per caso, tramite un banale link su facebook. Apprezzo lo stile pulito, semplice ma al contempo sognante ed evocativo dei tuoi lavori. Come è nata in te l’idea di creare “Mary and the Teapot”? Come mai proprio una teiera funge da filo conduttore in molti dei vostri lavori?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Mary nasce da una profonda amicizia e complicità. Un paio di mesi dopo che Irene ed io ci siamo conosciuti è stato perfettamente naturale avere l&#8217;idea di creare qualcosa assieme. All&#8217;epoca non trovavamo lavoro, così ci siamo detti, tantovale provare qualcosa di nostro e tantovale proporci come ci piace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Mary è diventata un nostro linguaggio, un modo per affrontare il mondo e noi stessi, per metterci in gioco e tessere rapporti, insomma un punto di vista sulle cose.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Ci tengo a precisare che, anche se Irene da diverso tempo ormai ha preso un&#8217;altra strada, Mary continua e continuerà a conservare una parte di lei e ad esserle debitrice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Riguardo la teiera&#8230; bè, ci affascinava l&#8217;idea di usare un nome che potesse essere l&#8217;inizio di una storia, che suscitasse curiosità ed esprimesse un mondo strano, atipico, sognante. Ecco perché sono comparsi Mary e la sua teiera. Questa teiera è un contenitore, come lo è Mary and the teapot, raccoglie e miscela molti elementi anche molto differenti fra loro per poi versarli come amalgama.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tessera.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20332" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tessera.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Come sei approdato al mondo dell’illustrazione e della grafica? Anche, inteso, dal punto di vista formativo.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">In realtà non ho alle spalle una formazione. Venivo dalla musica quando, sostanzialmente per caso, ho cominciato a lavorare come programmatore web. Il disegno è sempre stato un passatempo di poco conto nella mia vita, e prima dell&#8217;avvento di Mary non avrei mai pensato di voler/poter farne un lavoro. Con Mary invece è diventato la base di tutto.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Quali sono i tuoi strumenti di lavoro abituali? Hai una preferenza, dovendo scegliere, tra il lavoro a schermo rispetto a quello su carta?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ho un metodo abbastanza schizofrenico di lavorare. Il settanta per cento dei miei lavori parte su carta, su un taccuino in cui colleziono personaggi ed elementi disegnandoli con una semplice penna a sfera. Quando ho necessità lo sfoglio, inizio a farmi un&#8217;idea di come alcuni di questi elementi possano essere assemblati, e a quel punto digitalizzo e comincio il lavoro a pc. La penna grafica la uso principalmente per piccole correzioni e colorazioni, molto raramente per disegnare, amo cominciare sempre sporcandomi le mani. Spesso inoltre mi trovo a stampare il lavoro digitale per disegnarci sopra nuovamente e ri-digitalizzarlo, processo che mi capita anche di ripetere molte volte.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Trovo comunque che il bello stia nell&#8217;ibrido fra tecniche diverse, e a volte anche nello sperimentare strade nuove, è un modo per poter ampliare la propria tecnica e provare rese differenti.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/1.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20327" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/1.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="839" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Ti occupi di ogni aspetto della comunicazione &#8211; stampa, grafica, illustrazione, web, abbigliamento e video – questa poliedricità è stata una necessità che hai sviluppato nel tempo o frutto di talenti che hai coltivato ancor prima di pensare che avresti lavorato con essi?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Bè, in realtà, come accennato, nessuna delle attività di Mary è stata da me praticata davvero prima, salvo la programmazione web e rari approdi alla grafica. Alla base c&#8217;è comunque una necessità, necessità di sperimentare strade differenti e di provare diverse forme di comunicazione, c&#8217;è una curiosità e una voglia di mettersi in gioco, e contemporaneamente direi anche il riflesso dell&#8217;attuale mondo del lavoro. La flexibility, concetto che solo dieci anni fa non avrebbe mai potuto far parte della nostra cultura, ora è nel bene e nel male un elemento onnipresente. L&#8217;idea di fondo è di prenderlo e renderlo proattivo nel nostro ambito.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>E&#8230;quale tra questi preferisci?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Questa è una domanda difficile. Non ho preferenze in realtà, anche su questo sono abbastanza schizofrenico&#8230; A seconda del periodo ci sono ambiti nei quali preferisco lavorare. Certo, snodo fondamentale di tutto il lavoro è il disegno, così come uno degli ambiti che preferisco da sempre è la stampa e la serigrafia. Ma, ad esempio, ultimamente il video mi sta affascinando molto e lo sto molto coltivando, inoltre comincia a catturarmi l&#8217;idea del documentario.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Recentemente qui a Genova un quotidiano locale ha dato la possibilità ai lettori di disegnare il nuovo logo della città, quasi come potesse essere un target alla portata di chiunque (risate). Raccontaci un po’ cosa succede quando un cliente ti commissiona un nuovo logo, sia dal punto di vista creativo che concretamente realizzativo.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Un logo è il lavoro personalmente più difficile che possano commissionarmi. Più di qualsiasi immagine pubblicitaria coordinata.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Personalmente ritengo che il primo passo sia sempre una adeguata informazione su cui porre le basi. Conoscere le necessità del cliente, a volte i suoi gusti, conoscere approfonditamente l&#8217;azienda l&#8217;ente la manifestazione, dalla mission al modo di porsi verso i suoi utenti.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Avendo questa serie di elementi, il primo passaggio è capire su cosa soffermarsi, su quale concetto evolvere le idee visive. Il nome dell&#8217;azienda o le sue assonanze, il settore, il prodotto, la località, il precedente logo, le campagne promozionali da loro sviluppate, questo e molto altro può diventare materiale per un brainstorming.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Alle volte questa associazione è qualcosa di immediato, di fulminante, un&#8217;intuizione che va solo lavorata, ma per lo più è un lavoro complesso che ha bisogno di tempi, concentrazione e molte molte bozze. Rendere con un segno grafico la più immediata e principale forma di comunicazione di un&#8217;azienda è un compito difficile che va ragionato.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Ma questo molte volte è solo il primo passaggio. Anche se non sempre è così, un logo va presentato assieme ad un manuale di identità visiva o quantomeno un manuale di utilizzo, ovvero un insieme di regole formulate per inserirlo nei vari ambiti, dalla carta intestata alle cartelline portadocumenti alle brochure alla segnaletica, che implica proporzioni, colorazioni esatte per la resa di stampa, marginature, contrasto con lo sfondo, spesso veri e propri template grafici per tutto il materiale di stampa futuro.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/3.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20329" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/3.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="342" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Cosa consiglieresti ad un giovane che decida di intraprendere la carriere freelance in questo settore e sia sul procinto di avviare la propria attività?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Penso che la prima e più importante cosa sia evolvere un proprio stile. In Italia vige spesso un manierismo nel settore, dove il grafico e l&#8217;illustratore devono saper riprodurre qualsiasi stile a seconda delle richieste del cliente, ma personalmente non appoggio molto questo meccanismo. Vero è che bisogna saper essere elastici in base alle esigenze, ma ancor più vero che in ambito più ampio i clienti sono attirati dagli stili forti di alcune agenzie piuttosto che da portfoli strapieni ma privi di cose davvero interessanti.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Chiunque abbia intenzione di lavorare in questo settore secondo me deve lavorare sul proprio stile, renderlo personale ed unico e capace di suggestionare gli altri, è il vero biglietto da visita di un&#8217;attività.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Dove trovi l’ispirazione per il tuo lavoro? O meglio, cosa ti da i migliori stimoli dal punto di vista creativo?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Cerco di dedicare sempre uno spazio della mia giornata, anche minimo, alla ricerca di cose interessanti. Internet ovviamente è il mezzo più immediato, attraverso blog di ispirazione grafica ed illustrativa, facebook, piattaforme video e così via. Ma quando posso amo la fisicità di una libreria. Ritengo che sia importante conoscere il lavoro altrui e lasciarsene coinvolgere, le influenze sono ciò che arricchiscono il proprio linguaggio portando aria nuova.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Naturalmente l&#8217;ispirazione non si limita alla visione di opere altrui. Può essere un&#8217;influenza altrettanto importante disegnare con una certa musica in sottofondo, per esempio. Oppure l&#8217;osservazione della realtà.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20328" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="415" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Chiudo con una domanda facile facile: quanti accounts hai online, tra facebook, tumblr, etc?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Bè, anzitutto, a parte il sito vero e proprio, il blog di interviste e il progetto Bloody Mary and the teapot, Mary ha un suo canale <a title="On Youtube" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/maryandtheteapot/videos">youtube</a>, un <a title="on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/70895576@N04">flickr</a> e un relativo <a title="Group on flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/maryandtheteapot/">gruppo</a> in cui postare i propri lavori .</span><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Per il resto i vari account, facebook pinterest twitter tumblr, sono a mio nome, anche se spesso posto lavori non ho voluto legare direttamente Mary a social più ampi.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/5.jpg" rel="lightbox[20326]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20331" title="Mary and the Teapot" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/5.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="610" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Grazie a Martino, seguite i suoi lavori su <strong>http://www.maryandtheteapot.com/</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hi Matteo! Welcome on Candiesmagazine! Present yourself, how old are you, where do you come from and how long have you been skating?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;">Hi! I&#8217;m 20 y.o. , 7 years</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/sequenza_pro.jpg" rel="lightbox[20217]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20223" title="Matteo Quaglia ph Francesco Iozzo" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/sequenza_pro.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="405" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Sponsors and hook-ups?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Jolly Sport Torino, Pachyderm Skateboard, Rough Distribution (Sabre, AWSM e TripleEight)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Your set up? [deck, trucks, wheels and so on]</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Pachyderm 8.2 with trucks Venture 149, no comment on wheels and bearings.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Who did push you to skate?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> My parents, they took me to Decathlon for my birthday and they told me I could have taken what I wanted in the roller area, but next to this there were the skateboards..</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/madonna1.jpeg" rel="lightbox[20217]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20220" title="Matteo Quaglia" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/madonna1.jpeg" alt="" width="610" height="343" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">You traveled a lot this summer, which was the funniest moment for you?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> I liked them all: Spring Classic, Un Tranquillo Weekend Da Paura, Zattoni&#8217;s vert, Habitat Skatepark, Genova, Bergamo&#8230;all awesome!</span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-j7TO4kf7Ds?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" width="610" height="343"></iframe></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">And among the others you even made two video parts. Did you edit them? Who helps you with the filming?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> I edit, and I stop the first person I meet to film. If I&#8217;m in trouble I ask to Matte and Konrad, two pros in the field. I thank them for their patience <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_1297.jpg" rel="lightbox[20217]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20218" title="Matteo Quaglia ph Beatrice F. Bianchetti" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_1297.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What does inspire you before skateboarding?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> Good music, friends, a little bit of competition and obviously a skate video that suggests you the tricks to do everyday</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What&#8217;s the skate video everyone should have at home?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> There are a few, but surely &#8220;Almost &#8211; Cheese and Cracker&#8221;. It was one fo the first clips I watched and it affected me so much that my nickmane is now &#8220;the Italian Daewon Song&#8221;! I like it!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/sequenza3.jpg" rel="lightbox[20217]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20224" title="Matteo Quaglia ph Francesco Iozzo" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/sequenza3.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="493" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I assume that you like boned airs and fingerflips. What about your favourite tricks at the moment?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> All in wallplant, fk bs no-comply 360 and all variations of blunt, above all blunt flip-in and halfcab blunt 360 shove-it to fk.</span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-MUXsu5p7I?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" width="610" height="343"></iframe></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Projects for the next year? What are your goals?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> I want to take part again to all contests and I&#8217;d like to balance skate, school, family, friends and girlfriend. I wanna learn a new trick every week, but it wouldn&#8217;t be bad to learn one per day <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Thank you a lot Matte, just end it as you like it:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #00ffff;"> I thanks all my sponsors, my friends, especially Luca Fiora (who always come to the contests or skateboarding with me) and the boys of the Boarderline Crew (they always push me to do my best!) and in general all the people who support me. And CandiesMag obviously <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>

</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">If in these last few days you&#8217;ve visited our website the name David Ball won&#8217;t be new to you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">So after the Welcome to the Team with</span> <strong><a href="http://store.actionstyleclothing.com/">Action Style Clothing</a></strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;">, we&#8217;ve decided to know a bit more about him!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">1- Hi David, where are you from, how old are you and how long have you been skating?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">Hi I&#8217;m 17 and I&#8217;m from Formigine a small town near Modena.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I&#8217;ve been skating for five and half years now.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action-style-fsbs2.jpg" rel="lightbox[19681]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action-style-fsbs2.jpg" alt="" title="action-style-fsbs" width="400" height="550" class="alignright size-full wp-image-19718" /></a><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">2- Sponsors and hook ups?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">I&#8217;m the Action Style Clothing team and I also ride for Paul&#8217;s Boutique, the local skateshop!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">3- How did you first start skating? What made you realize it woudn&#8217;t have been just a simple hobby?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">When i was in primary school the city council built a little skatepark in my town and I was amazed about it. During the middle school I decided to try, and since the first day I&#8217;ve never stopped.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> So basically it has never been just a simple hobby for me: I remember I used to quit everything just to go out and skate on the streets, often on my own.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">4- Where do you skate usually? Have you got a favourite spot?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">I live near Modena so during the week I usually go at the local skatepark called &#8220;le gobbe&#8221;, but in the week-ends I always go in other parts of Italy to skate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I like skating everything: ledges, bowls, rails, banks&#8230;Actually I haven&#8217;t got a favourite spot but I must say that Milan is my favourite city to skate ! There are so many good spots to skate and they&#8217;re all different! With the subway you can pass from the &#8220;Lambro&#8221; bowl to the manny pads of &#8220;La Barona&#8221;.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I come from a very small town, so Milan seems a wonderfull place to me, but maybe the view of the city is different for someone that lives there every day!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">5- How are you getting on with the Action Style team? Are you working on some new projects with &#8216;em?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">In the Action Style team I&#8217;m getting on ever so well! The brand is super core and the guys are amazing people: they work really hard on everything they do, this because they aren&#8217;t only interested in promoting their brand, but they also care about bringing up their team riders!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> Now my first video part is out as well as the first photos. To me these are all starting points, not arrivals! All this is just a big motivation to improve my skating every day! In the next months I&#8217;ll keep producing footage: photos and lots and lots of filming!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action_style_seq2.gif" rel="lightbox[19681]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action_style_seq2.gif" alt="" title="action_style_seq2" width="450" height="471" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-19720" /></a> <span style="color: #0bf3c4;">6- Have you got a favourite trick? Which trick are you working hard on instead?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">I like all kind of tricks I can&#8217;t do, this because I wanna learn &#8216;em!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> On transitions I&#8217;m trying fs flip to disaster, damn that trick!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> On ledges I&#8217;m trying fs five-o to fs board 270 out. I&#8217;m starting to hate it because it&#8217;s a weird trick: you need to turn all your weight opposite from the start.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I always come up with strange ideas&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">7- What do you think about the skate scene here in Italy? What&#8217;s you opinion about contests, skateparks and events?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Good question! I&#8217;ve noticed that the scene is starting to grow quite a lot. There&#8217;s still a lot to do to be able to compete decently with the other european scenes. Well the typical Italian mentality doesn&#8217;t help much: everyone&#8217;s just interested in watching football and the &#8220;Veline&#8221; show on tv!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> Another big problem are the city councils: in my personal experience after years of compromises and projects the results have been less then nothing. Now we&#8217;re going to star some DIY projects because we need something decent to skate and to improve with!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I personally like competions, eaven if lots of people complain about the CIS saying it&#8217;s all put up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I like the CIS, it&#8217;s a good way to improve and to meet new friends from all the country!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">8- Talking about competions, will you show up at them this year?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Of course! I&#8217;ve taken part at lots of local contest but I&#8217;ve also been at competions in Brescia, Imperia, Andora, Genova, Carrara, Lido Camaiore, Seregno, Tarvisio and I&#8217;ve also started the CIS this May!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I love competions they&#8217;re a funny mess around and you always end up metting new friends at the end of the day!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action_style_seq1.gif" rel="lightbox[19681]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/action_style_seq1.gif" alt="" title="action_style_seq1" width="550" height="700" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19721" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">9- How do you spend time when you&#8217;re not out there grinding benches?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">I skate everyday and when I&#8217;m not at school I skate from morning to night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> If it rains I usually go with my friends in some indoor car-parks with some small ledges and rails that fit in my friend&#8217;s car!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> If I&#8217;m injured I usually listen to punk music, watch movies or read&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> I often go to my girlfriend in Milano. She&#8217;s the only thing I care about in life beside skateboarding!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">10- This last space&#8217;s free. Finish this ITW as you want!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;">I&#8217;d like to thank:</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> Action Style Clothing, Nicola and Daniele of Paul&#8217;s Boutique, my father for all his support, Roberta, my brother and my mother for all the lifts at the skatepark and at the train station, Oskar my awesome filmer, Alle, Dennys, Mozz and all the locals of the&#8221;Gobbe&#8221; for all the sessions we have togheter, the Casalgrande crew, Jack and all the guys of the Firewall Skatepark in Imperia, the local skaters of Rho Park, Giovanna, Gio delfino, everyone I&#8217;ve met at the contests and my love, Gaia, that always gives me the strenght to do my best in life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Cheers!!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0bf3c4;">Yeah David follow him and Action Style on</span> <a href="http://store.actionstyleclothing.com/">actionstyleclothing.com/</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA06.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA06.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA06" width="610" height="406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19595" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">Yes, finally I met my fb friend Fabrizio Ara during a Red Bull surf and skate contest in Badesi, west Sardinia. Nice and smart guy, I saw him first waiting for a lift to the start of a downhill session and it was like if we knew in person from a long time. We chatted for a while, I was there expressly to take this interview, he was changing the wheels at his new Bombsquad board, a little bit nervous about the incoming contest.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA05.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA05.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA05" width="300" height="449" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19594" /></a> <a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA03.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA03.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA03" width="300" height="449" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19592" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">After few runs and many pictures, the first thing I noticed was that Fabrizio enjoys skating and chilling with friends, embodying the right way of life that you can expect from a skater.</span><br />
<span style="color: #33cccc;"> He is only 24, but looks younger, although he is really focused on what he looks for&#8230;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA02.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA02.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA02" width="610" height="406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19591" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">Longboarding since only two years, he actually collaborates with Wipeout Boardshop, Riptide, Surf Rodz and Bombsquad, showing good skills both in sliding and bombing and a particular talent in taking videos and pictures of what he does on the asphalt. Always looking for new partnerships to get the aim of being one of the first pro longboarders in Italy, Fabrizio &#8211; aka “Bibi” &#8211; produces a lot of attractive images and videos, showing at the same time equipment and skills, with his team mates and the riders that often meets during skate trips and contests.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA01.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA01.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA01" width="610" height="406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19590" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">On the tube everyone can see video clips like “Longskate Arbus: Shut Up and Ride” (actually the most watched) or Longskate Arbus – Bomborn”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #33cccc;"> One of the most recent videos seen on his fb page was about a young guy, Marco Garau, a green talent growing to collect the passion of his “instructor”; “he is my pupil, I only skate with him, I want to bring him to the top” told me Fabrizio. Good luck and Good job!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA07.jpeg" rel="lightbox[19588]"><img src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/FABRIZIO-ARA07.jpeg" alt="" title="FABRIZIO ARA07" width="610" height="406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19596" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #33cccc;">One year ago mr. Ara also founded Longskate Arbus, an association made to collect longskate lovers in south Sardinia trying to promote this amazing sport in a country &#8211; Italy, I mean &#8211; where, sadly, only soccer is considered, by a huge percentage of people. Now, after many contests, broken bones, worn wheels, pictures ad video clips I can say that thanks to guys like Fabrizio, Sardinia is one of the most involved places in Italy with a lot of youngsters trying to learn as soon as possible all the secrets to bomb and shred down the sickest lines.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00ffff;">A damn fine bmx rider, a nice person to talk with, we had the luck to share a few question with Federico Saoner. Check out!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hi Fede! Welcome on Candiesmagazine.com! Introduce yourself, how old are you, where are you from and how long have you been riding?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">Hi, I&#8217;m Federico, I&#8217;m 18 and I come from Milan. I&#8217;ve been riding for three years.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Sponsors and hook-ups?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">My sponsors are Frontocean and Osiris.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3188.jpg" rel="lightbox[19053]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19061" title="© Alessio Scaccabarozzi" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3188.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="407" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">How did you become a bmxer? Can you recall the moment when you realized it was something more than just a hobby?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">3 years ago my dad took me on a biking day in Milan, where I met a few riders. And it all began. Now bmxing is way more than a hobby for me, it&#8217;s my way of life. I couldn&#8217;t live more than 3 days without riding ahah</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>What does bmx mean to you?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Bmx means everything to me. Without it I wouldn&#8217;t know what to do. I guess.</span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35227804" frameborder="0" width="610" height="458"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Where do you usually ride? Do you have any favourite spot (not necessarily near home)?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">I usually ride Lambro or some of Milan&#8217;s street spots with my crew. I like Centale because there are tons of walls perfect for combos and so on.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>You&#8217;re the hero of the last Enel TV spot. I&#8217;m curious. How did it happen that such a big company, so far from the action sports, chose a bmxer for its spot, and how did they come to choose you? Was it a good experience?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">A friend of mine told me there was a casting in Milan to find a good bmxer. I showed up and a week later they called to tell me that I had been chosen for the spot. It was a great experience and it doesn&#8217;t happen everyday to be the protagonist of a spot!! I was very happy to do that.</span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1O66pppyjbw?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" width="610" height="343"></iframe></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What did it happen to your missing tooth?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">Unluckily I had a slam in June 2011. It wasn&#8217;t my fault, another rider hit me while I was dropping! It took me a month to recover, and soon I&#8217;ll have a new tooth.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Are you working on any video projects?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff;">Yes I&#8217;m starting to work on my new edit and maybe I&#8217;ll shoot it in Barcelona. Soon we&#8217;ll also shoot a clip with my crew, the M.B. from Milan.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3035.jpg" rel="lightbox[19053]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19060" title="© Alessio Scaccabarozzi" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3035.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="915" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What do you think about the bmxing scene in Italy? Is it growing or not?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff;">The Italian scene is growing very slowly. It&#8217;s better than the past, but we&#8217;re still far from the other countries.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC0046.jpg" rel="lightbox[19053]"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-19055" title="© Saoner" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC0046.jpg" alt="" width="305" height="459" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">What are you going to do this summer? Contests, trips, holidays?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">I&#8217;m in a tour through all the pool parties in Italy until September. Then I&#8217;ll go to Barcelona for a few months! <img src='http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Pictures and clips don&#8217;t show how hard it is to be noticed in the competitive world of the freestyle sports. Did bmx lead you to give up anything in your life?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Yes I made a lot of sacrifices. 2 years ago I left school to focus almost entirely to bmx. The level is really high now but with commitment you can do everything!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">How do you spend your days when not riding?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">Sometimes I swim, or I go out with my friends&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Where do you take inspiration for a riding day?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #00ffff;">I watch some videos, I relax and then I&#8217;ve fun with the others in street!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3024.jpg" rel="lightbox[19053]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19059" title="© Alessio Scaccabarozzi" src="http://www.candiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_3024.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="910" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Thanks a lot for your time Fede! You can add whatever you want:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span style="color: #00ffff;">Thank you for the itw! Have fun..!!</span></p>
