We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiziano Mammana and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiziano, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
For my point of view behind the success there is lot of passion for my job (I really love creating endless memories with my cameras for people in love and creative commercial for small businesses) , and professionalism as much as I can, because my clients must have an amazing experience with me and my brand. That’s why when I start to think about any aspect of my business I start thinking as client first, asking my self question as if I am the client in that specific moment (what I am looking from the professional? What do I expect from Him/Her? Why I should choose Him/Her instead another one? )

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Well, let me say art is a way of life, is something you feel inside to share with the world, with no boundaries and freedom…freedom to create. Since we come to the world our life has lot of rules, specific paths that the modern society give us (don’t give me wrong, I am not against rules) and working as creative with a camera, taking pictures or making a video is what makes me happy to create images as I want. Long story short, I come from a family where my dad was a photographer in the 70’s and videomaker for hobby, and I grew up surrounded with 8mm kodak films and Hasselblad cameras. that’s why 10 years ago I choose to include a camera everyday of my life, as an hobby first and as a full-time job later in 2019 working as wedding photographer for the first 2 years and then wedding videographer in the last 2 years and was nothing than easy because a lot of technical knowledge is involved and creativity is not enough when you aspire to be a professional. After lot of practice, In 2018 I’ve stared to spend my time watching on line tutorials about photography and videography “everyday”, basically after working 8hours per day my learning time was from 6pm to midnight an so many times I finished my day exhausted sleeping on my computer with video tutorial still running! This is just to say, if you really love what you do and you wanna live with your passion, keep going and never give up!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, as fresh new immigrant in US and in San Diego I’m still not very familiar with California but for sure I would bring my best friend to Sunset Cliff and Oceanside to enjoy the most beautiful show ever “the sunset”, is something that fill my hearth every-time I look that spectacular moment, breathtaking colors on the sky and sun diving into the sea is something to be grateful and enjoy everyday. Other than that I would bring my friend to enjoy Balboa Park with plenty of museum and special event surrounded of green and nature evereywhere and then getting some good Italian food in little Italy (Sorry I am Italian and I am so passionate for Italian Food!)

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Well, first person I want to dedicate my shoutout is my Wife Angela because she always believed in me and my skills since she saw me holding a camera 10 years ago although I had like many artists so many up & down in my career, and Angela always had the right word at the right time. Another person who deserve a recognition is the stunning Jazz singer Eva Schubert which is my best friend from Canada that always seen my talent more than me telling me to persuade photography and videography career and never give up since awhile. We spent lot of together creating cover for her music albums, web site and also taking photos of here amazing wedding.
I can also recognize Eda Araquel and Marco Costantini as mentors videographers which I got technical support everytime I needed.
And last but not least all my clients that always believed in my job and professionalism.
