Marco Ficili fotografo Atelier fotografico
Si riceve per appuntamento A never-ending surprise…a great emotion! This is how I describe my passion for photography. Did I get any awards?

A relationship born when I was a boy and never ended. It captivated me so much that it has become my job. I love true photography that tells without cheating, that reproduces the magic of a gaze or a heartbreaking landscape. I was born in Modica, a noble, ancient and in some features modern town, full of history, traditions and contradictions. Its light, its shadows and the velvet touch of the sun going down are always present in my photos. Childhood is deep-rooted in everyone’s soul. No matter how far you go, no matter whom you share your life with, your origins will always be part of yourself. You only need to be willing to listen to them. I live in Catania, where I attended Principe Umberto di Savoia high school specializing in science. When I graduated from high school, I often travelled seeking “Photography”. I like letting myself get carried away by photography. Most of the time there is neither a precise idea nor a fixed itinerary, but I know that there is always a new destination, something new and different to be discovered, tasted and passed down. This is exactly what I love and attracts me most in photography. Despite the numerous years and the various experiences I have had, photography can still surprise me. I have always taken advantage of any chance to travel and go explore Europe. I have taken plenty of pictures, I have met various photographic souls, discovered various viewpoints, numerous lights and atmospheres. I have unconsciously absorbed their being, and all of this has become Marco Ficili today. My technical education has followed a more conventional path. Thanks to photography schools and courses, I had the opportunity to visit and live in cities like Milan, Florence, London and Berlin. Some years later I met Barbara, with whom I share my life and my passion for photography. This prevents us from recognizing any boundaries between our job and free time. But we like it this way! With a job like ours, which is a passion more than a duty, it could not be otherwise. I like the sea and I go to the seaside every time I can. I love travelling and visiting new places, ranging from smaller and less popular centres to big metropolises of our time. I like playing tennis and I relax reading novels or essays about … guess what? … Photography, of course! I also have a passion for cooking. I try out and look for new solutions in cooking, as well! Eventually the dishes I prepare are only experiments for my wife and myself… and maybe it is better so! In 2000 I opened my photography studio in Catania, the city I live in. I started working in advertising, in the publishing industry and studio portrait photography. My staff and I managed to make a niche in traditional wedding photography, by imposing truth and spontaneity as watchwords of our way of conceiving wedding photography. I have instinctively deconstructed some of the classical patterns of traditional wedding photography by re-establishing the centrality of the event and its protagonists. My clients love my photography services as they stand out for their spontaneous and at the same time evoking style. And I love my clients since they can distinguish, they can appreciate and choose what really moves them. I had the pleasure to be mentioned, awarded and published by WPJA “Wedding Photo Journalism Association”, TAU VISUAL, White Sposa and Vogue Sposa. Some, the right ones for an excellent résumé! What else? Una continua sorpresa… una grande emozione! Cosi posso riassumere la mia passione per la fotografia. Una relazione iniziata da ragazzo e mai interrotta, che mi ha coinvolto completamente fino a farne la mia professione. Amo la fotografia vera, quella che sa raccontare senza barare, restituendo la magia di uno sguardo o di un paesaggio struggente. Sono nato a Modica, una terra nobile, antica e a tratti moderna, piena di storia, di tradizioni e di contraddizioni. La sua luce, le sue ombre e la vellutata carezza dei suoi tramonti sono sempre vivi e presenti nelle mie opere fotografiche. Le radici dell’infanzia rimangono ben radicate nel nostro animo, non importa quanto lontano andrai a vivere e non importa con chi andrai a vivere, saranno sempre vive e presenti dentro di te, è sufficiente decidere di volerle ascoltare. Vivo a Catania, dove ho frequentato il liceo scientifico Principe Umberto di Savoia. Dopo il diploma, ho viaggiato spesso alla ricerca della “Fotografia”. Amo farmi trasportare dalla Fotografia, spesso non c’è un’idea chiara né un percorso stabilito, ma so che c’è sempre una nuova meta, qualcosa di nuovo e di diverso da scoprire, assaporare e tramandare. E’ questo che amo e che mi affascina di più della fotografia, nonostante i tanti anni e le diverse esperienze, la Fotografia riesce sempre a sorprendermi. Ho colto sempre ogni buona occasione per viaggiare alla scoperta dell’Europa, ho fotografato tanto, ho avuto l’opportunità di incontrare diverse anime fotografiche, di scoprire diversi punti di vista, diverse luci e diverse atmosfere. Ho assorbito istintivamente il loro essere e tutto questo oggi è Marco Ficili. La mia formazione tecnica ha seguito strade più convenzionali, scuole e corsi di fotografia mi hanno permesso di vivere e conoscere città come Milano, Firenze, Londra e Berlino. Qualche anno fa ho incontrato Barbara, con cui condivido la vita e la passione per la fotografia. Questo ci ha portato a non riconoscere alcun confine tra il lavoro e il tempo libero. A noi piace cosi! Con un lavoro come il nostro, che è più una passione che un dovere, non potrebbe essere altrimenti. Mi piace molto vivere il mare e vado a trovarlo ogni volta che posso. Amo viaggiare e conoscere posti nuovi, dai centri più piccoli e meno famosi alle grandi metropoli del nostro tempo. Mi piace giocare a tennis e mi rilasso leggendo romanzi o saggi... indovinate un po’... di fotografia! Un’altra mia grande passione è la cucina. Sperimento e cerco nuove soluzioni, anche in cucina! Alla fine i piatti che preparo rimangono solo degli esperimenti dedicati a me e mia moglie… forse è meglio così! Nel 2000 ho aperto il mio studio fotografico nella città in cui vivo, Catania. Ho iniziato a lavorare nel campo della pubblicità, dell’editoria e in quello della ritrattistica in studio. Sono riuscito a creare una nicchia nel campo della fotografia tradizionale matrimoniale, imponendo insieme al mio staff la verità e la spontaneità quali parole d’ordine del nostro modo di intendere la fotografia di matrimonio. Ho istintivamente scardinato alcuni dei classici schemi della fotografia tradizionale di matrimonio restituendo centralità all’evento e ai suoi protagonisti. I clienti amano i miei servizi fotografici perché si distinguono per lo stile spontaneo e insieme evocativo e io amo i miei clienti perché sanno distinguere, sanno apprezzare e sanno scegliere ciò che realmente li emoziona. Ho avuto la soddisfazione di essere stato citato, premiato e pubblicato dal WPJA “Wedding Photo Journalism Association”, dalla TAU VISUAL, e da White Sposa e Vogue Sposa. Premi? Qualcuno, quelli giusti per un buon Curriculum! Che dire… What else?

Villa Mon Repos, Taormina: an Indian wedding day, from henna to the dance floor.

Surbhi’s morning began with henna, white bangles and a maang tikka resting on her forehead.
Thomas waited by the window, then arrived among his guests in clouds of red and green smoke.
Under the mandap, with Isola Bella and the Ionian Sea below, they were joined in front of the people they love most.
As the sun went down behind Mount Etna, the lehenga started to swirl and nobody wanted to sit down again.

Madonna della Rocca, Taormina: An Intimate Wedding

Five people in a sanctuary carved into the rock above Taormina.
Gaby and Alex, their two mothers, and Alex’s brother, who stood at the altar in his vestments to marry them.
No crowd, no rush. Just a stone ceiling, soft light through the door and vows spoken in front of the people who matter most. When the priest is also your brother, every word lands differently. You could see it on Alex’s face.
Then the doors opened, the bouquet went up, and the day changed pace completely. A vintage Fiat 500, roof down, winding through the streets of Taormina, past the signs for Castelmola and along the road above Isola Bella, with scooters overtaking and strangers waving from their doorsteps.
We ended at the Villa Comunale as the light slipped into blue hour, Etna smoking quietly across the bay and the coastline switching on below them.
An intimate wedding in Sicily isn’t a smaller version of a big one. It’s a different thing altogether: louder in the heart, quieter everywhere else.
If your wedding had room for only five people, who would be standing there with you?

Taormina Proposal, Etna at Sunset!

Taormina Public Gardens, and an evening that ended with Mount Etna at sunset.
It began on the terrace above the Ionian Sea: Rigs on one knee among the cypress trees and potted flowers, Alaina’s first look at the ring, then a long embrace that said everything.
What came after was simply theirs. A slow walk along the old mosaic paths, quiet moments in the shade of the garden, and two hands raised against the last of the light, with Etna on the horizon.
A Taormina proposal rarely ends with the question. Sometimes the best part is the hour that follows.
Swipe to the end for the sunset.

Villa Mon Repos: a whole day above Isola Bella

Villa Mon Repos stands on the cliff above Isola Bella, and for one long day in Taormina it belonged entirely to Mariya and Dave.
The morning was quiet. A veil lifted in a room full of light, pearls and pale blue paper laid out on linen, the Ionian already bright beyond the shutters.
By late afternoon the garden had filled and the ceremony unfolded at the water’s edge, guests pressed close on either side.
Walking back out through the portico, hands in the air, they had Etna low on the horizon behind the palm trees.
Then the Sicilian evening took over: a glass raised on the balcony as the light went soft, the band, the dancing, and the villa glowing above the bay long after the sun had gone.

Minareto, Syracuse: a wedding in Sicily, the sea and a party that never slowed down!

Jennifer and Marcus came from Germany for one reason: the Sicilian sea, which they have loved for years.
Minareto gave them exactly that, a clifftop terrace above the Ionian Sea, with Ortigia on the horizon and nothing but blue behind their vows.
Jennifer set the tone from the first hour. A silk slip, a dress waiting under the palms, and a laugh you could hear across the garden.
By midnight the veil had turned into feathers and the terrace into a dance floor, surrounded by friends who never once let the energy drop.
This is what a destination wedding in Sicily looks like when guests come to celebrate, not just to watch.

A Dreamy Wedding in Taormina✨

A dreamy wedding in Taormina: Surbhi and Tom’s poolside ceremony at Villa Mon Repos, above the Ionian Sea, the day after their Indian wedding.
A white lace gown, a tuxedo with a white jacket, yellow flowers catching the afternoon sun. They said their vows by the pool, then let the day slip slowly into evening. Warm lights, glasses raised, the cake cut as the sky turned dark over the coast.
Two days, two ceremonies, one villa. Watch this one after the mandap and you’ll see how differently a single love story can be told.
Send this to someone who can’t choose between an intimate ceremony and a party that lasts all night.
