Among all the faithful of Islam regardless of where they are from Europe to Indonesia, from the United States to Iran, from Cairo to Dhaka on the day of the end of Ramadan is one of the most important holidays of the year. It’s a day of joy, ending the fasting day, it’s back to normal, and after the morning prayer, there pours through the streets, children playing, adults slaughtered meat, the women prepare the big meal. An explosion of joy and happiness; when we meet, we hope for a good party: Eid Mubarak.

Born in Florence, Edoardo inherited his father’s passion for travel and for photography so much so it became his profession. Edoardo’s travels began at the age of 9 (he has travelled on more than 130 expeditions all over the world) and has allowed him to develop a special sensitivity in his mind and heart allowing him to grasp reality in all its beauty and depth.

His photography is reportage - whether it be a trip, a wedding or a backstage event. His meetings with important international photographers have allowed him to grow and learn to photograph in relation to his subject. The advice and teachings of Steve McCurry on the study of light were valuable lessons and left an indelible mark on his way to shoot photography. For the last several years, Edoardo’s photography has been undergoing a new change under the influence of new photographers such as Paolo Pellegrin and his ways of telling stories, Ackerman and Sobol for their perception of reality.

Edoardo is a member of important international associations: Wedding Photojournalistic Association, Artistic Guild WPJA, ISPWP and World's Best Wedding Photo. These associations are some of the most important associations that welcome American and British photographers after careful screening and only select the best international photographers that shoot wedding photography in reportage style.

Edoardo has also participated in reportage photography and wedding photography in numerous events, seminars and workshops in Italy, he was invited as a speaker in Spain and in Brazil in some of the most important conventions on wedding photography in the world.

Edoardo and his team of wedding photographers have been requested all over the world by the most important international wedding planners: Perth (Australia), St. Petersburg (Russia), New Orleans, New York, Bozeman (USA), Puerto Vallarda (Mexico), London, Brighton, Oxford (UK), Paris (France), Lagos (Nigeria), Edinburgh (Scotland) and others.
