MAURIZIO LODI

Born in an odd numbered year of the last century, and from an early age I was afflicted with a visual defect, amblyopia or lazy eye, the treatment of which forces an occlusion.
He was one of those children with glasses and a suction cup on one of the two lenses. This monocular vision foreshadowed his entire career path.
He studied photography at the European Institute of Design, under the direction of Martino Schiera but never without withdrawing his degree.
Although he was born analog, he has enthusiastically embraced the digital revolution that has revolutionized the photographic profession and considers it a technological leap forward.
He has collaborated in the creation of Mondadori picture books, Nuova Cucina magazine and to date, with his studio UBIK, collaborates with the magazines Sale e Pepe, Cucina Naturale, Giallo Zafferano, Amica, Vera and Natural Style.

FRANCESCA SIMONE

Photographer since 2010, but with a camera around her neck for as long as she can remember.
As a child, her favorite game was taking pictures, and the most welcome gift a new roll of film all to write on.
Passionate about cooking and good food, there have been restaurants over the years that have forever changed her perception of food.

Out of her love for food came the idea to specialize in food photography - building on her background as a still life photographer - and to write about it, studying Communication and Gastronomic Criticism, which gave her new life and excitement, making her more aware of the wonder that a flavor can create and can convey.
Since 2016, she has started the blog La Mora Felice, because that is exactly how she feels, happy to have gone beyond her tastes, tasting unthinkable things and discovering all that is behind the scenes in the world of catering and ingredients.
In 2018, together with Marco Moretto, he founded Foodgraphy, the photography studio with a kitchen where photos, videos, digital strategies, and editorial plans for restaurants, businesses, and Food&Beverage professionals are made every day

This run continued in the following years, eventually gearing up in the professional field.
He began as an assistant in some photographic studios in his city, Milan, where he immersed himself in deep self-taught training.
She darts between still life and interior shots reinforced by the Phase One POCP Certificate she takes in 2017.
From yesterday to today, from shooting to post production, photography becomes even more interesting for Marco when he decides to accept the challenge and specialize in Food Photography.

Consistencies, textures, reflections, temperatures, ... shooting food is anything but simple!
He is particularly passionate about this field and in 2018, together with Francesca Simone, he started Foodgraphy, a specialized, vertical Food&Beverage studio.
