Hi I'm luca, your Burano Photographer

PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, PROPOSAL AND COUPLE PHOTOSHOOTS, FAMILIES

Ciao, here it is Luca, husband and father of two.
I live in a village around Lake Como and my wife is Venetian, so I am "local" both in Como and Venice, defining myself a storyteller.
I know every angle of these two areas and the right time to create the most impactful photos under the best lighting… with no people near us (even in Venice)!

I tell fairy tales through coordinate series of images; it's the so called "narrative photography".

I studied photography for two years. After my graduation I won the Borromeo Award for your emerging photographers and I was named Best Italian Wedding Photographer in a Tau Visual National Association of Professional Photographers - White Sposa Magazine contest.

I also am awarded with both the (FIAP) Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique and the International Action Art - UNESCO gold medal for my storytelling projects.

See you in the fairy!

My Burano Photography Reviews

I decided to book a proposal photoshoot in Lake Como because it was my partner's favorite place in Italy. I know another couple who had a photo shoot with Luca in Como last year, and they recommended him.

Luca made the process very easy and provided good information regarding the photoshoot style and information through his website. He was also very helpful in picking spots along the lake to do the shoot, as I was not sure of the best location for this.

The photos turned out amazing, and we now have professional photos to remember our special day forever. -Firdaus

Luca was very informative pre-photoshoot. He helped to choose the location and date for the photoshoot. He was very flexible to our schedule and location.

The weather was not a gift, but he managed to make great shots and pull out our good mood despite the circumstances.

Would definitely recommend Luca as your photographer. -Mantvydas

Our babymoon experience at Lake Como was made unforgettable by the incredible talents of Luca. From the moment we arrived at the shoot location, Luca seamlessly blended his passion for photography with the natural beauty that surrounded us.

The pre-shoot communication was exemplary, with Luca taking the time to understand our preferences and expectations. His warm and professional demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the entire photoshoot an enjoyable and relaxed experience.

What truly sets Luca apart is his keen eye for detail and composition. Against the backdrop of Lake Como's serene waters and picturesque landscapes, each shot was meticulously composed, capturing both the grandeur of the surroundings and the intimacy of our babymoon journey. Every photograph told a story, revealing the physical beauty of the location and the emotions and excitement of this particular moment in our lives.

We were also impressed by the post-processing work Luca put into the images. The colour grading and enhancements were tastefully done, enhancing the already breathtaking landscapes without veering into the realm of unrealistic.

The final set of photographs we received surpassed all our expectations. Each image was a masterpiece that captured the essence of our babymoon trip—a celebration of love, anticipation, and the awe-inspiring beauty of Lake Como. Luca didn't just take photographs; he crafted visual memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to create artful, meaningful, and genuinely captivating images, Luca is the one to choose. His talent, professionalism, and ability to capture life's most precious moments are truly remarkable. -Harprit & Govinder

The experience with Luca was beyond incredible - he is truly an artist, a coach, and a tour guide, all rolled into one.

The locations we shot at were way off the beaten path, and the way he would take such care to not only frame the shot but work with us to look our best. If he has any availability, 100% he is the guy to book. -B & M

I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years at the Villa Melzi Gardens, and Luca helped with everything from picking the proposal spot to figuring out a boat company to work with.

I knew Luca was going to be the perfect photographer immediately after looking at his portfolio. I was planning and stressing about a proposal to my girlfriend for almost a year. Luca was able to make the process as seamless as possible and make it the most unforgettable day ever. We will forever be grateful to Luca for beautifully telling our story through these amazing pictures.

Thank you again, Luca. I recommend anyone needing a photoshoot to contact Luca. He is so accommodating, and his storytelling abilities are fantastic. -Keegan & Lindsey

Luca is so talented and unique in his photography style. His passion and enthusiasm allowed us to have and capture the pictures of the most unique proposal. His picture frame managed to capture and paint a beautiful timeline and story.

Luca was very patient and explained his carefully crafted plan and even assisted me with a plan to propose on a gondola. This was important as I wasn't familiar with the scene in Venice. It was the most unique experience and moment captured.

Luca even went beyond the time agreed upon to help us take even more photos because of his passion and dedication to helping us achieve the best photos and memories we could from this trip.

I would definitely recommend Luca without a doubt to anyone looking to capture unique and amazing memories. -Jonas

We booked Luca Rajna for our family photography session in Lake Como. Luca is a true professional! He knows what he is doing and you are in very good hands. We were a group of 14 including small children, and Luca provided great direction and guidance to ensure we posed for good pictures. We had so much fun! Luca was very communicative from the moment we booked the shoot and punctual the day of, which we appreciated given there was so much going on with our trip to Como. Thank you Luca! -Diana

Luca did an amazing job capturing our first time in Venice! Very communicative with us before, during, and after our photoshoot! He helped us with location, what to wear, how to pose, and he even walked us to the correct area afterward so we would not miss our train from Venice to Milan! Highly recommend! -Allison

We were so happy that Luca captured one of the best moments of our lives, it was so nice to work with him in my marriage proposal in the most amazing place we've been in our lives, Lake Como area.

We were so happy with the results and the story Luca captured in the session. Thank you so much Luca for being part of one of the most important moments in our lives.

Highly recommended to work with Luca, he will advise you and provide recommendations to make this a perfect moment. -Diego

What an amazing experience! My husband and I knew that we could not go to one of the most beautiful places on Earth and not get professional photos. Lake Como is stunning and picturesque, and photos are truly a must! We chose Luca because of his fabulous portfolio and outstanding communication.

He was quick to respond to all of our questions and suggested beautiful locations. The weather can be a little tricky in Lake Como during the summer but Luca remained flexible and based our shoot off the local weather reports.

We did, however, deal with a little bit of rain, which was unavoidable the day we chose, but Luca used the rain to our advantage, promptly grabbing umbrellas for props and giving us those “dancing in the rain” shots we wouldn’t normally have done.

He was so thorough with posing, you can tell he has a lot of experience working with couples. Not only was he an outstanding photographer, but he also was very kind, we had run into last-minute transportation issues to the venue, and Luca promptly picked us up and dropped us off, definitely above and beyond to accommodate.

We are so happy with our photos and had such a great experience. If you are heading to Lake Como and thinking about hiring a photographer, look no further, Luca was top notch, and now we have memories to last a lifetime. -Melissa

We had an amazing experience with our proposal photoshoot with Luca. Right from booking with him he had a wealth of knowledge and sent me articles on his photoshoot process, advice on colours to wear to complement the location, and how to tell my partner without raising suspicion.

His communication before the shoot was great, during the shoot he was patient, gave clear directions, and took his time to get the best pictures possible. He created a very relaxed atmosphere and made sure we were not self conscious.

When we received the pictures they were breathtaking, the colour tones he used, the framing of the pictures, and the poses and directions were stunning.

I can’t recommend him more, he made a really special moment unforgettable and captured our memories to keep for life. Thank you again Luca!! -Gavan

We wanted something special for our trip! The shoot went great. Luca was able to change the day and help us around the weather. He helped us so we wouldn't be so awkward. -Erika

We booked a shoot because we wanted to make this moment unforgettable. I wanted to make sure that everything was being captured. I found Local Lens via Google and saw the portfolio of our photographer Luca. After seeing his portfolio I knew it - he is the one who can do this the best.

As nervous as I was, and full of questions, Luca helped me with it step by step and thought with me about how to make this as successful as possible.

We started with a boat trip and the story behind it was that I hired a photographer to capture a couple of pictures on the boat.
After a while, we went to Villa Balbianello and Luca made sure we felt comfortable while making the pictures at the villa.

After a while we came to the ''spot'' and Luca gave me the ''sign''. Nervous was jumping out of my body but the love helped me to keep my cool.

During the proposal, every moment was captured and the pictures did not disappoint!!! -Anthony

We booked a shoot for physical memories that will last us forever. -Elijah

We booked a shoot because I wanted someone to capture the special moment! Luca gave me very detailed instructions on how to enter the villa and where to ultimately pop the question---I told Rachael that we were going on a villa tour that would conclude with a photo shoot. Luca then appeared from a hidden spot to capture the proposal with the stunning background. -Mihir

A vacation is the best idea as it gives you a reason to visit the world and celebrate your love across the globe. Luca was our photographer who I could not recommend more. From booking the photoshoot and arranging the story he had all the knowledge and experience of where to propose and gave ideas, and very good communication before the proposal. On the day he kept me calm and said don't worry as I could trust him and his talent as he gets the YES photo. He captured the proposal perfectly and after he took us to us the most secluded and beautiful spots in Venice no one even knows, his knowledge and ideas of the city are incredible, and trust me some of the photoshoots you see on here are not entirely giving him the credit he knows more and knows the poses, the best photographer I had very patient and talented MUST RECOMMEND. -Gene Opo-Kiba

From the first moment we saw Luc's work online, we knew he was the photographer for us! And we were by no means wrong. Luca is a true professional, which was visible from the first moments of our meeting. During the session, he not only creates a great atmosphere, but also provides very valuable tips that allowed us to create perfect photos that will be a souvenir for the rest of our lives. The entire session is about creating a beautiful story telling connected with a given place. This is something absolutely unique. When it goes to choosing the place and date, Luca was very flexible and gave us very good advice. He answered questions very quickly. We received the photos on the same day of the session. We are absolutely delighted with the results of our session and I can recommend Luce wholeheartedly <3 Thank you for everything, it was an undesirable experience and the most beautiful souvenir. -Anna & Andrzej

From start to finish, Luca exemplified perfection and professionalism. His attention to detail was extraordinary, capturing every moment beautifully. He made us feel at ease with his kind demeanor, ensuring that the entire process was enjoyable for everyone, including our little one.

The photos turned out stunning, reflecting both the warmth and personality of our family. Luca is not just a talented photographer but also a genuinely kind person who takes great pride in his work. Thank you, Luca, for giving us memories we will cherish forever! -Zara

Luca really did some magic! The pictures are really really beautiful and stunning! Also, the whole preparation and planning with Luca was really all I could ask for as I did a proposal shoot and wanted to surprise my girlfriend. I could ask Luca everything and we went over every detail. As for the pictures: with the lighting, the editing, the location, the frames and the scenes everything was on point! I would recommend Luca to everyone reading this! -Daniel

Luca brought our fairytale photoshoot to life with his incredible photos. From the beginning, Luca was a kind and effective communicator who helped us plan our perfect shoot. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about photography and the Lake Como area. We are so thankful for Luca's time and effort in capturing my parents' 30th wedding anniversary and my surprise proposal! I can't recommend and thank Luca enough for making my dream come true in Italy. -Erin
