When Light Becomes Memories
Authentic Emotions in Black and White
Photography is not merely a profession for Carlo Carletti. He sees his world through it. Accompany the award-winning wedding photographer through the winding alleys of Siena and the serene dunes of Tuscany and hear his thoughts about photography as an art form and in everyday life.
Whether he’s capturing a couple’s most incredible day or the rhythm of daily life, with his keen sense for light, form and emotions, he brings those quiet, candid moments to life that often remain hidden. Genuine, unfiltered and deeply human.
When Colour Steps Back, It Makes Room for Feelings
The truth is simple: every story is different and as unique as the people who experience it. Black-and-white photography allows Carlo Carletti to capture beauty and emotion that surpasses our expectations. A fleeting glance, an absentminded gesture, a quiet moment: black and white makes the invisible visible.
“I always take pictures in the hope that I will transform the act of observing into a deep and intimate experience, which I will then want to share with the world.”
Carlo Carletti
The True Story Comes Alive in the In-Between Moments
When most people think of a wedding, the big moments like the vows, the kiss and the first dance come to mind. But the quiet moments out of the limelight often carry the most weight. The real story takes place in the in-between moments and only shows itself in small gestures and momentary expressions, which Carlo Carletti captures in black and white.
“The Leica Q is not only for professionals but for all those who see meaningful moments in everyday life.”
Carlo Carletti
“Many a day, I wished I had a camera like the Leica Q3 Monochrom.”
Black-and-white photography slows us down, increasing our awareness of the essentials. For professional photographer Carlo Carletti, no day, no couple and no wedding is the same. Everything tells its own, unique story. He’s not chasing the perfect shot. To him, it’s about remembering how the moment felt long after it has passed.
In his private life, Carletti especially expresses himself through black-and-white landscape photography imbued with tranquillity and strength, where he loses himself, only to find himself, again and again.
