In this brief interview, photographer Guido Venitucci introduces himself as a Rome‑born, New York‑based photographer. He emphasizes his core skill of building relationships with his subjects to tell their stories through images. Venitucci explains his personal motivation: he deliberately puts himself in challenging situations to prove himself wrong each day, using that tension as creative drive. He concludes with advice for newcomers in any field, urging them to never say no to opportunities, as saying no ends the story before it begins. The segment ends with a brief identification of Venitucci as a factual photographer in New York.

Chapters

My name is Guido Venitucci. I'm from Rome, Italy, and I'm a photographer in New York. The thing that I find that I'm good at is to connect to the person. I need to establish a relationship with the subject so that I can tell the story. Achieving that, that's what I try to do with photography. My motivation is proving myself wrong every day. So anything that I think I can do, I back myself into a corner so that the only way out for me is to prove myself wrong. That's what drives me. To people that are either starting in this career, for that matter, any career. I would say never say no. I've always said yes. The story is over the moment you say no. Michael Maguido Venitucci, a factual photographer in New York.
