Photos, films, people and places.
This is the work I do behind the camera: portraits, travel, weddings, live music, commercial projects and films. Different subjects, but always my way of looking at them.

I talk about what happens to me.
I moved from a small town in Italy to Berlin. On YouTube and Instagram I talk about what came with that move: identity, sexuality, freedom, cannabis, nightlife and the things people often avoid saying out loud.
What I talk about, and why
MY EXPAT LIFE, AGAINST ALL PREJUDICE
I’m Riccardo Vezzani, an Italian content creator, photographer and videomaker based in Berlin.
A big part of what I do is about challenging stereotypes and making space for topics that are still surrounded by stigma or taboo. I’m interested in freedom of expression, in the possibility of defining yourself on your own terms, and in showing that there are many different ways to live, connect and be yourself.
I try to do that without turning people or communities into “topics”. I prefer being inside the story, asking questions, listening, and showing things with curiosity, irony and honesty.
Alongside my own projects, I also work with brands, communities and organisations on photography, video production and social content.

Behind the scenes with Laura Mikus · Berlin, 202603 / About
Behind the camera. In front of it.
I am an Italian photographer, videomaker and content creator based in Berlin. I started filming at twelve, after watching my father edit our family holiday movies. A borrowed camera and Windows Movie Maker were enough to show me what images can do: preserve a feeling, shift a point of view and turn an ordinary moment into a story.
Since then I have studied communication, refined my visual practice and worked across portraits, travel, weddings, live music, commercial projects and film. Behind the camera I create images for people and organisations. In front of it I use my own life as material—speaking about Berlin, identity, freedom, sexuality, cannabis culture and the contradictions we usually avoid.
Photography, video, communication and marketing are not separate jobs to me. They are different tools for the same work: finding the clearest, most honest way to make an idea felt.
