Reportage. I shoot in a candid and spontaneous way, so you have to enjoy and admire the beauties of my country.
I love to swim, listen to rock music and watching TV series marathon.
Catania is a city full of History with a delightful mesh of fashion districts, boisterous markets, wonderful seaside and culture. The people are fun and every neighbourhood has got his distinctive character and uniqueness. I love to shoot in Via Crociferi, one of the most famous streets in the city centre, full of incredible baroque churches and museums. Before the sunset, the historical buildings paints wonderful dramatic shadows on the church façade. Many people enjoy this moment with friends seating in the Chiesa di San Giuliano stairs. During the morning the fish market (A’ Piscaria) is a must-see place where spend time for the shooting. Every morning is lively and animated and here I love to interact with the passionate fishermens that with their voices and gesticulations try to attract buyers and tourists. Catania offers also a beautiful waterfront that will bring you to the Aci Castello and Aci Trezza fishing villages. Here you can’t miss the opportunity to taste the famous “granita” and take a photo shoot with the Faraglioni, the “rocks” thrown by Polyphemus against Ulysses, while the latter escaped by sea from the anger of the Cyclops. If you love the mountain you can have a wonderful experience (and pictures) in one of my favourites places in the Etna volcano! The Silvestri Craters and Sartorius Mts offer a very easy experience even if you are not confortable with trekking. Few kilometers south from Catania there is one of my favorite open-air shooting set: Ortigia, the oldest part of Syracuse. The Ortigia island will take your breath with their narrow streets full of barouque architecture, the hospitality of the people and the breeze of the sea!

Gaetano is a handpicked local in Taormina, joining the Localgrapher roster as a vetted Sicilian photographer for travellers visiting the eastern coast. He brings familiarity with Taormina’s signature settings and a working knowledge of the rhythms that shape a session in a busy tourist town. Clients who book Gaetano gain a relaxed, locally grounded partner for their Sicilian shoot.
Taormina is the centre of Gaetano’s coverage, with its hilltop position above the Ionian Sea giving him an unusually rich rotation of photogenic settings. The Ancient Theatre of Taormina, Corso Umberto, Piazza IX Aprile, Villa Comunale, and the path down to Isola Bella all feature regularly in sessions around the town. He understands how Taormina’s foot traffic ebbs and flows, which matters when the goal is a clean composition rather than a crowded frame, and the Localgrapher Taormina photo spots resources line up well with the local knowledge he draws on day to day.
Within and around Taormina, Gaetano can move between the headland views toward Mazzaró and Isola Bella, the small lanes climbing toward Madonna della Rocca, and the gardens of Villa Comunale, giving couples and families a varied set of looks across a single session. Day trips upward toward Castelmola or out toward the slopes of Mount Etna are possible for clients booking longer formats. The Taormina photographer cost guide content helps frame how additional time or locations affect overall pricing for travellers building a Sicilian itinerary.
A session with Gaetano leans toward an unhurried, locally informed style, with attention to the angles and timing that suit Taormina’s coastline and historic architecture. He communicates with international clients in English, which keeps planning straightforward, and he is comfortable with the range of clients Taormina draws, from honeymooners and couples to families and travellers planning a proposal. The Taormina photoshoot guide content on light and outfit choices aligns naturally with his approach, while the Taormina proposal guide ideas around the Ancient Theatre and the panoramic terraces above the town give a strong starting point for romantic plans.
