From a Gray Office to the Red Carpet:

Until one day, Iacopo Pelagatti , one of the copywriters and creatives I most appreciate and follow, wrote to me.

“This year I want to talk about you on stage at Marketers World 2022. May I?”

He had followed my entire journey over the past year and wanted it to be an inspiration for anyone who needed it.

“Absolutely yes” I replied, grateful, because ending up on the stage of Marketers World , the most important event in Italy for creatives like me or marketers and entrepreneurs, was yet another confirmation to myself.

How I Defeated Myself and Became a Celebrity Photographer 4

Iacopo spoke about the figure of the artist in today's society.

How in the eyes of others, most artists are nothing more than losers , deluded and destined to never make a career.

And how all of this is false.

Until a few months ago I would have had a hard time believing what he said. My pessimism would have gotten the better of me.

Besides, I was always shocked by all the competition I saw denmark telegram data every day at Fashion Week.

At home I often cried, alone, because it seemed like an insurmountable wall . I was afraid to call myself a photographer, let alone an artist.

I thought failing with this label on me would be too much to bear. I would risk extinguishing my passion.

How wrong I was…

It's clear to me now.

That insurmountable wall I saw was just a reflection of my mind .

When you're in the midst of your own personal psychological storm, it's hard to acknowledge it.

Every obstacle seems lethal, every positive forecast seems ready to overturn at any moment and future ambitions remain clouded thoughts.
