About Sante D'Orazio: Sante D'Orazio is an American photographer.
I had been, to the age of 25, a bookworm.
I made most of my living doing beauty, because I was never really the fashion person.
Over the years I always did some water colors, and I did a series of pictures of drawings. I always did it during a period of time that was slow in the photo business, but in essence it was always frustrating because I'd get started, and then it woul...
If I create anything, I create the atmosphere of trust and openness.
I try to find the picture, not create it.
I'm trained to look for certain things... I shoot, I shoot, I shoot, and then I go find it in the ether.
I was always taught to let the obstacles be your guide because they lead you to places that you wouldn't have gone on your own. Instead of going through a rock, you go around it, creating a path.
My process of working is that I don't create a picture, I find it.
I was in Milan, and somebody gave me a Trussardi diary, and I thought 'Genius.' Inside I put the Polaroids, how much film I shot, who I shot with. This way, for billing later on, I had all the information.
