Alfonso “Pompo” Bresciani is an accomplished on-set photographer whose work goes beyond traditional unit stills. While his primary role is to replicate the main camera’s perspective, he excels in capturing unique angles, compositions, and the emotions that bring a scene to life. By approaching every set with both technical precision and artistic intuition, Pompo creates images that resonate with the soul of a production.
Known for his willingness to break the rules of photography when needed, Pompo's work is characterized by dynamic angles, creative lighting, and a fresh approach that stands out. He knows when to follow established norms and when to push boundaries for artistic impact, giving his images a distinct and energetic quality.
Pompo is equally passionate about documenting behind-the-scenes moments, capturing the crew, set atmosphere, and production process. These images not only serve as a visual record of the making of the project but also become invaluable assets for marketing, press, and storytelling. His photos elevate the connection between the production process and its final product.
Based in New Orleans and a proud member of IATSE Local 600, Pompo is a highly experienced photographer with a broad background in film, television, and advertising. His professionalism and mastery of “setiquette” ensure that he collaborates seamlessly with cast and crew without disrupting the flow of production. He is a trusted asset, delivering exceptional imagery that aligns with the director's vision and enhances a project’s public image.
From high-profile feature films to intimate television productions, Pompo captures moments that resonate with audiences, producing compelling visuals for marketing, press kits, and social media. His ability to thrive in high-pressure environments and contribute to the success of any production makes him an invaluable member of any team.
Behind-the-Scenes Storytelling: In addition to shooting the actors and the scenes, Alfonso is highly invested in documenting the behind-the-scenes aspects of the production.
As Producer David Puttman once said:” More people will see the stills of the movie than will ever actually see the movie; so stills are very important”
