Manuel Eletto

My name is Manuel and I’m a professional photographer based near Milan.

I get in touch with photography in 2003, thanks to its amazing creative possibilities.

Professional photographer since 2010, I’ve started my career in the motorsport world where, in 2013, I landed in Formula 1 as one of the youngest photographer of the circus.

This experience (and later with motorcycles and press launches) has allowed me to travel around the world and has been a great boost to my photographic skills.

I’m a sports enthusiast and thanks to this, the natural evolution of my career as a photographer has led me to specialise in this field.

I’ve continued to study and experiment every day and this has helped me to work with important sports and automotive brands.

Year after year, driven by the desire to improve my skills, I’ve expanded my work area from editorial to advertising photography.

Today I work as a freelance photographer and stringer for Getty Images, shooting commercial, editorial and international press launches.

Signature

To take a powerful shot you have to experiment, make mistakes, improve, learn and never feel the best.It's not a mechanical gesture, you have to use your mind and your eye.Photography for me is about communication. It means sharing emotions, colours and shapes.My approach to photography is simple and concrete and I believe that quality is always better than quantity.I'm a firm believer in working as a team to achieve the best results; I like to say: "Keep it simple, let's do it together!"
