He is an advertisement photographer, he cooperates
with agencies, publishes on national magazines.
His preferred subjects are persons: models
in the studio or in fascinating locations,
but also men, children, portrayed during his
reportage all over the world. Taken at a small
distance, 16mm, because Alberto thinks that
what Robert Capa said was true: "a
picture is not good if you are not near enough"
He says: "You must know how to enter
persons and their stories, with humanity.
In five seconds they must understand you are
not an invader, but one of them. The same
for the model portrayed at a small distance
with 50 mm lens. You need empathy, the model
must understand he/she can trust you. Only
then his/her personality will come out".
Alberto Buzzanca works with digital, a technology
in which he trusted from the beginning and
that he constantly updates.
On the set, where the subject must call to
life a film of 9-10 pictures, it is easy to
understand the photographer is inspired. But
this is not his job, it is his life.

Alberto
Buzzanca is an icon of Italian photography.
Creator of a new concept of glamour
photography, he signs the way, together
with other colleagues, of a modern and
more dynamic trend, compared to elder
ones, of considering and performing
photos both for the sector of fashion
and beauty and advertisement.
He inherited from his father, a visionary
painter and sharp cartoonist, the photographic
equipment but maybe more than this.
At the age of 23, in 92, the artistic
commitment of Alberto Buzzanca was born.
Two old reflex, lenses, and the desire
to try it. A walk along the river, the
first pictures. Then a lot of manuals,
books, magazines and curiosity to learn
how the magic of masters' master works
were born.
Buzzanca understood he was not made
for unanimated landscapes and that his
photos must live, excite him and those
who look at them. So the moment of portraits,
models arrived. Then workshops, and
try it out. Until the greatest moment:
leaving the job for the passion. A courageous
action, a mix of awareness and humility.
He opened a office.
"I work with few lights, often
just one - he says - a soft one,
that gives the right contours, as if
it would be the natural light of a window
".
