About me Leonora Leo photographer videomaker italian woman traveller
Leonora Aricò – Photographer in Italy
Hi! I’m Leonora, but some call me Lele or Leo. I’m a photographer based in Milan, Italy.
My journey in photography began in Brazil in 2010, and my passion has never faded. Over the years, I’ve expanded my skills to include video making, offering both photography and videography services.
I specialize in weddings and love portraits, capturing emotions in Italy and around the world.
Grateful for everyone who has trusted me with their memories, I continue to dedicate myself to creating timeless images for families and couples.
I find inspiration in life’s simple joys—flowers, smiles, and aesthetics that tell a story.
I believe that each of us is the summary of our experiences.
Its cultural origins, as well as in trapeze travel, inevitably mark habits. Thanks to my work experience I learned to listen to the people around me.
This allows me to grow and make a different contribution from time to time.
From the choice of music for a video to the choice of a shot to try to highlight the beauty of who or what is portrayed.
In a very natural way, I recognize myself in many gestures, caresses, and hugs that happen on a day as intimate as the day of one’s marriage.
My photography reflects what I value most: elegance in composition, quality in every shot, discretion in presence, and love in every captured emotion.
To understand who I am, as a woman and as a photographer, I’ll tell you a story. Apparently, from my mother’s opinion, we descend from a noble title, which was taken away and abandoned when my grandfather’s uncle, the firstborn, donated everything to the Church. When I learned this story, I asked my grandfather if it didn’t bother him, that in some way this choice had precluded a different life. It is also known that he himself had been excluded from much else. He was a person of great intellect and in a certain sense “modern” for his time. He replied to me that you can have money, riches, but the true nobility comes from yourself.
Today, the house that was supposed to belong to my family is an orphanage and would have only been one more excuse for arguments in an already huge family.
If you are looking for a photographer attentive to emotions, grandparents, and life in its truest essence, write to me.
