    Stefano Cavallini
    Stefano's love for photography started in 2011 when he tried his friend's DSLR, none of them knew how to use it in a mode other than the auto back at that time, but he could see the big difference with a compact camera or a smartphone. He decided to buy his first DSLR camera and to learn how to use it in manual mode.

    After 5 years, his love and knowledge for photography increased and he managed to upgrade to professional equipment and to open his own business.

    He mainly works in the wedding industry but he loves different kinds of photography, like landscapes and animals.

    I had seen the various images of the bridge following its' commissioning and wanted to photograph it too. I noticed while standing in the middle of the bridge that there was an opportunity that no one else had seen, which was to use the old centre point on the crossing from the Holiday Inn Hotel. I was fortunate as two days later the crossing was taken out.Shot on the Sony A9, f11, iso100, 20sec shutter.
