I AM | JAKEMARCHINI

I grew up with a passion for creativity , always aiming for beauty and looking around for some inspiration . After my secondary school diploma in math and technology I started studying languages and literatures at the University of Pisa (English Spanish and Portuguese), but after two years I felt that it wasn`t my path, then I applied to an international school of English based in San Diego CA. By that time i had to see what was outside of my country, I was in need to meet other cultures and open my mind. Meanwhile I was studying photography as a self-learner. I started at 15  and I`m still studying it. Once I came back to Italy I started working to earn some money to eventually pay a course or whatever studies in future. I worked as a manager for events such as concerts, parties and shows. Only recently I`ve started studying audiovisual arts, but I firmly believe that it is the future, or at least, my future. I've been an amateur photographer for 4 years shooting glamour, naturalistic photographer, i did street photography projects for some agencies and shops' commercials and I did director of photography of 2 musical video and one short film . I did art direction for theatre and I`ve written some shows. I worked as operator and photographer for 3 years for a very important Italian movie festival comparable to American Golden Globe and took pictures of some Italian Academy Oscar Winners .

Being creative has just became a way of life, I don’t think it just begins with the desire to wake up in the morning and say today I’m creative, it comes out from, today I want to live, I want to do what I love so I’ve been going out and doing that.
Photography is much more that set the right lights, get the right composition and click a bottom. Photography means connects with people with powerful emotions, tell a story, transport people into another universe.

My name is Jacopo Marchini and I'm an artist .
