ABOUT ME
Elena Maggiulli, Film Photographer in Rome: My Story
Fashion & Portrait Photographer in Rome
I’m a fashion and portrait photographer based in Rome, born in 1992, and the founder and director of Piano B Studio, a creative agency and photo studio in the heart of the city.
From Marketing to Photography
I hold a Master’s degree in Marketing and Communication. After a few years working in the field, I discovered my passion for photography and decided to turn it into a profession. Self-taught, I specialized in fashion and portrait photography, where I best express myself.
Telling Stories Through Faces
What I love about my work is capturing a moment or a look that will never happen again: an attempt to freeze time in a single shot. I tell stories through people’s faces, and I enjoy spending time with my subjects to get to know them before I shoot.
Vintage Style and Film Photography
My images have a distinctive vintage touch, and I often shoot on film, because I feel I belong to another era. Alongside portraits and fashion editorials, I photograph places that catch my eye.
Based in Rome, Working in Milan, London and Paris
I live in Rome, but my work often takes me to Milan, London and Paris, where I lived for a while. Discovering new places and having new experiences enriches my imagination and fuels my creativity.
A Little About Me
If I were a dessert, I’d be a chocolate lava cake: hard on the outside, soft on the inside.
