The best photographic tool

Parma, Renzo Martini park

Cameras & Lenses

The best photographic tool that a professional or amateur photographer can have at their disposal is always the same: the most indispensable, the cheapest, the most effective, yet no shop sells it.

It is being in the right place at the right time, everything else is just accessories.

This photograph is an example, while I was sitting in a park in Parma intent on reading, I look next for a moment and I see this beautiful scene at my side: a ray of light, filtering through the trees, was going to hit the newspaper, making it almost transparent, and the same light was reflected from the pages of the newspaper on the man's face, creating a beautiful lighting, a beautiful point of light in the twilight of the park: I was in the right place at the right time, I took the camera from my backpack and I caught this moment of dailylife.
