Hi! I’m

Mauro Turatti, photographer specialized in Food and Still Life images. I have been working in Advertising and Editorial since 2004. My Bio are my images, but if you want to know more read on below.

1979

Born in 1979, I grew up in a big hotel overlooking Lake Maggiore run by my father (barbecue master) and my mother (gourmet cook). My roots come from there: passion for nature, for food, and the pleasure of “well done”. My first love ever was the hammer: smashing pieces of the hotel at age 4 was my favorite game.

Surprisingly, however, a curious uncle and lover of photography first introduced me to what would become my next passion: photography.

MY FIRST PHOTOGRAPHY

During high school I started working in small photography studios, which allowed me to keep my dream alive during the boredom in school.
It was a start and I already knew it wouldn’t be enough. In the meantime, the year of the military service arrived: Florence became my new home and I joined the photographic department of the army. I discovered that I enjoyed being a paratrooper almost as much as using the hammer, but photography continued to remain my goal.

“Who continually asks what path he should take never learns to seek and attempt his own path. How can he know what his way is who always follows the paths indicated to him by others?”
(R. Messner)
START

I finally had the chance to cultivate my dream, enrolling in a prestigious school of photography in Milan. For three years I was an assistant in the studio of a couple of photographers: she is specialized in Food and Still Life, he in Portraits and Reportage. It was the perfect conclusion to my apprenticeship.

It was 2004 and it was time to take a risk. I was very young, but determined: I opened my first photographic studio, starting to approach the world of Advertising photography in Milan. However, I had underestimated an obstacle: my face was too young, which made me appear even younger than I really was. But I was able to earn the trust of those who were working with me for the first time. The early years as a professional photographer flew by quickly, as did the years of my two children, born during that time.

2010

In 2010 my career was on its way and I had created a respectable portfolio working for the biggest Italian clients and winning important pitches.
In the meantime, however, the world of photography had changed and I realized that photography seemed to be no longer enough: digital was becoming a new reality.

HS

So I decided to open a new business involving Mattia Giani, a young post-producer who was at the beginning of his career: HYPERACTIVE STUDIO was born.

For ten years I have enjoyed creating images that have allowed us to achieve great results and some awards.

NOW

In 2020, a new awareness pushes me to set new goals: I decided to close Hyperactive Studio and open a new business creating flexible work teams that share passion, soul and spirit of research. We are not executors of a task, we are professionals who love what they do and have the sole purpose of doing it well.

And if this "doing" includes a hammer... I'm even happier.
