Hello Spé! Thank you for letting us have this interview. Can you please introduce yourself to our readers?

I'm Speranza, I'm an art director and graphic designer and I live in Rome.

What made you pursue photography and design? Was this kind of work a childhood dream for you?

As a child, I loved to draw, but I really had no clear ideas what I wanted to do when I grew up... perhaps even as an adult I had no clear ideas... I like to think that things have happened naturally, without my forcing them one way or the other. At age 19 I moved to Rome to study design, as soon as I finished school I started to work. I discovered my passion for photography when my fiancé at the time gave me a Canon Ixus compact 2.1, only because it was on sale... :)
