Massimiliano Rocchi Photographer Italy & Worldwide

You have 45 seconds to shine, because that’s all they give you on the Cannes red carpet. Not a minute and a half, like in Venice. Not three minutes, like it looks in Instagram photos. Forty-five seconds, and the security guards are already saying: come on, come on. No exceptions, even if you’re Leonardo DiCaprio. @maxrocchiphotography and I put together a consultation for a model walking the red carpet for the first time, and we created a Cannes guide in three languages: Russian, Italian, and English. You can download it via the link in the comments. Here’s what genuinely surprised me, since I had never been to Cannes before. You can only get onto the Cannes red carpet with a ticket to a film that has a carpet screening in the program. The 5:00-6:00 PM screenings are your best bet, the light is good and the photos actually turn out well. A personal photographer is a working tool, not a luxury. A full package, hotel plus carpet plus reel, starts anywhere from 500 to 1,000 euros per day. Just the red carpet photos alone run around 200 euros. The delegation photographers shoot everyone for about two seconds each, and if you are lucky, you walk away with three frames. Your phone goes into your bag before you step onto the carpet. Non-negotiable. Trying to film yourself there in 45 seconds is not realistic anyway, and it looks bad. Four different looks over three to four days is no longer a suggestion, it is a content requirement. People need to feel like you have been living there for a week. And the most important thing about contacts: the lobbies of the Martinez, Majestic, and Carlton hotels are open to the public, no invitation needed. That is where the press offices of every major artist are set up. That is where it gets decided whether you make it onto the Chopard party list or not. Building a relationship with a press attache is far more valuable than simply knowing the right people. Download the guide and share it with whoever needs it. Send the word Cannes to my Instagram DM and you will get the guide in one second. #cannesfilmfestival #cannes #redcarpetdress #redcarpettips #cannesfilmfestival2026

One year ago I gifted myself with a photoshoot. I didn't do it for vanity: I did it because I've always been very critical and judgemental of my own appearance and I wanted to flip the script. The idea was for me to look at myself with a nicer, more gentle eye. Photoshoot was done by my amazing and talented friend @massimiliano_rocchi photographer. We took more than a thousand snaps and he asked me to select only a bunch. It took me days. Did I like myself in all the pics? Certainly no - and that's ok, these photos have no Photoshop. But there were so many beautiful ones. Max captured a part of me that I had not really seen until now. I already posted two of them, but this one remains my favorite of all. So why am I posting this? Because if you're out there struggling with the beauty standards that normally make it to the first page of magazines: burn 'em all (metaphorically). You're beautiful. Filters aren't. I guarantee you that what you see is often altered by your own fake mirrors. Be kind to yourself.

Let’s end this year with one final announcement. We’re delighted to introduce you to our new Drums Beast, @septic_coon , who has joined us on our journey. It has been a few months since we started to play together, and we immediately felt a great connection and a similar way to make and feel music. We’re working on new songs, and we can’t wait to let you see what we’re cooking. 🍳 We’ll be back on stage on the 24th of January in Rome with three amazing bands (@moonlabyte , @tankshellband and @quietforawhile_ ) and we want to see you in the pit! Ph: @maxrocchiphotography _______ Vogliamo concludere quest’anno con un ultimo grande annuncio. Siamo felicissimi di potervi presentare il nostro nuovo batterista che si è unito al viaggio degli Unsaved, Sam Fiore. È da pochi mesi che suoniamo insieme, ma si è creata subito un’incredibile connessione, unita a una visione simile di comporre musica. Stiamo lavorando a nuovi brani e non vediamo l’ora di farveli sentire. Torneremo live il 24 gennaio al @wishlistclub insieme a 3 fortissime band della scena romana: Moonlabyte, Tankshell e Quiet for a While. Ci vediamo sotto palco Foto di Massimiliano Rocchi #unsaved #alternativemetal #metalinrome #undergroundmetal #italianband #newdrummer #metalband
