ALYSSA PIZER MANAGEMENT recently welcomed interior & still life photographer, Marili Forastieri, working in NYC.
“I love taking pictures… I love how the light plays on my subject… I love telling a story through my camera’s lens. My passion has taken me to places I would have never seen, introduced me to people I would have never met, and fulfilled me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Everybody always asks me if I grew up taking pictures, if I always knew I wanted to be a photographer. The answer is no, and as I like to tell it… pause, I became a photographer because… I couldn’t draw!
It always works as a punch line but really, I was a mediocre art student and yet as a photographer, ah… I had found my calling. I studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology and ended up in NYC after graduation, fumbling my way through a series of assisting jobs and often wondering whether I had made the right career decision. These photographers were my mentors, and through their patience and inspiration, I found a footing and built an exciting and amazing career (I also managed to have two great kids during this time). I have juggled early call times with after-school activities, location shoots with PTA meetings and bad weather with temper tantrums. I would not change a thing. I am blessed.”
