When photographs become art, layered in deep moods, introspection, intrigue and sensuality, mastery can be identified.
When one is deeply moved by images that are felt more than seen, where one can indulge all the senses and experience true synesthesia, that is the level of emotional complexity that Stefano Borghi brings to his interpretive photography. His intriguing personality and approach behind the lens are in striking contrast to the intensity of his work.

He likes to bring a strong-earthed, but calm and assuring, approach to create a close “subject-photographer” connection that He considers essential to produce excellent photographs.
The style of graphic imagery expose his subjects with a sense of truth and realism and my ultimate goal is to achieve a deep, yet natural, connection between the subject and me. This connection, combined with crisp lighting and dynamic angles, results in a engaging imagery for the viewer.

My name is Stefano Borghi ( AKA Steve Villages) a visual story teller, editorial, portrait,fashion, wedding photographer and video maker @ myitalianweddingphotos.com and web designer ( here @ motionminded.com)
I am based in Italy, Yet I am a keen explorer of the world and am flexible to travel. I was blessed to grow up in Florence, constantly surrounded by the beauty of Tuscany’s cultural treasures,imaginary places and amazing landscapes, which continually inspired me.
As a teenager, I was given my first camera, and with it the desire to create came on its own. I fell in love with the photographic poetry of the Russian director Andrej Arsen’evič Tarkovskij and I started to spend most of my free time exploring Tuscany, in search of the magic of the locations admired in his film Nostalghia,doing a few small editorial gigs.
I left Tuscany and traveled endlessly around the five continents, where I had the privilege to capture religious ceremonies of varying cultures, in addition to stunning landscapes, people and celebratory occasions.
I spent years constantly experimenting and studying photography while traveling through Europe, Russia, Asia, Australia and America.
I remain inspired delving into photography in its multidisciplinary facets, I am passionate about clean images with little artificial enhancements yet filled with spontaneity.
I approach each event, festivity or ceremonial gathering with a personal touch of special moments, thereby expressing my creativity and simultaneously capture moments of a lifetime. So it’s no surprise, that YOUR EVENT as a whole is the focus of my work. YOU and YOUR GUESTS, the action, the mood of the day are what I strive to capture in a fresh, natural and elegant way.

More about me:

Photography was a truly wonderful, happy accident for me, since I assume that the path from technology to traveler to photographer is a less traveled path. But ever since I got my hands on my first camera at the age of fourteen, I knew it is what I was meant to do.
While I hope to leave behind a comprehensive, moving and powerful body of work, ultimately, I am measuring my path through the relationships formed with designers, clothing lines, agencies and models that I see along the way. Because in the end, it’s all about the journey, (…exploring is a virtue, tourism is a deadly sin…Bruce Chatwin), a journey that also included traditional stops: formal education in photography and video post-production.
