About
Samuel Alexander Acevedo
I am a photographer and visual content creator based in Parma, Italy. For more than fifteen years I have photographed and filmed food and wine, interiors, fashion, events and weddings. In recent years I have also taken on the social media and advertising side of the work.
How I work
I plan and light my own shoots and direct whoever is in front of the camera: models, chefs, artists, couples on their wedding day. I edit video in Premiere Pro and retouch in Lightroom and Photoshop, so one person follows the work from the first idea to the final file.
After a piece is published I look at what people actually watched, and use it to plan the next one. I run two small studios, so I am used to working closely with clients and getting things finished.
