Mauro Pozzer Photography
Film and digital wedding photography from Vicenza and Venice
No. 577 · Autumn 2026
Welcome to Mauro Pozzer Photography
Mauro Pozzer is a wedding photographer based in Vicenza, a few miles from Venice, who has worked professionally since 1996 and photographs weddings in Venice, on Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast and in Tuscany, across Italy and abroad. He calls his approach poetic realism: quiet, documentary coverage with no staged poses, shot on film, on digital or on a mix of the two.
Mauro Pozzer bought his first camera, a small Cosina, with money from odd jobs in the early 1980s, and in 1996 took out a loan to buy a wedding studio in Vicenza, Magic Foto Studio. He has photographed weddings professionally ever since, and was co-founder and president of ANFM, the Italian wedding photographers' association, from 2008 to 2010. He was born a few miles from Venice and still works from Corso Padova in Vicenza.

Mauro Pozzer Photography
He describes his way of working as poetic realism, a name borrowed from French photography of the 1930s and 1940s. In practice that means documentary coverage: he does not stage moments or direct poses, he waits and follows the day, and he works with natural light wherever he can.
After years shooting only digital he returned to film, and a long photography project inside the hospital of Vicenza, begun in 2018, became the book City of Angels in 2020, followed by a second book, Nessuno si salva da solo.
