Linda Luppino’s Photography/ Casa Bella Productions
Linda’s Bio
Having been born into a large Italian family, one of the youngest of nine,
Linda would be inspired by every member and attributes this colorful existence to shaping her creative imagination. Linda remembers from the very beginning “Home is Where the Heart is”. Her fondest memories were of her grandmother whom had a passion for growing fruits and vegetables. She marveled at Nonna's garden and was most impressed by grapes growing wild on rope that would span to the roof of the house, and then enjoyed watching the making of home made wine. Linda's was also fascinated with the 30 foot long wall of roses that sprawled on vines and perfumed the driveways fence every spring. The rose would be a lifetime tribute and her trademark. Grandma was also a seamstress, and at age eight helped Linda tailor her first design. A denim bikini with matching wrap mini skirt cover-up.
It was inevitable Linda's love of Architecture would mostly be influenced by her father who was a Builder of Custom Homes, Commercial, and Residential Properties. She recalls having designed a drafting table for her father to build so she may use to sketch out her ideas. Her interest in photography ignited when her uncle encouraged her to take up the art form by giving his camera and basic darkroom equipment to her at 15.
Later, Linda pursued studies in fine Art and received certificates in Photography
and women’s tailoring. She earned a living taking on challenging and creative
Positions, as visual merchandiser and window dresser for women’s specialty shops, photo stylist of fashion and Home Furnishings, also seamstress of theatrical costumes. Finally, after graduating from F.I.T. her career path took shape. She moved to work on 7th Avenues Fashion District and became Design Assistant / Technical Designer and eventually designed her own line of Women's Dresses and Suits.
It was not until after she moved to Florida and discovered the Digital darkroom she would yet take another turn in the road. Linda infused all her talents and passions, which included being in the great outdoors, nature, travel, home and garden, and fell into what would become very natural to her. One of the best part of doing what she does today, Photographing exclusive properties and the finest homes in Florida, she also delights in exploring Florida’s vast territories “off the beaten track” and capturing the essence of Historic Towns and Gardens.
For Linda, Fashion, Home and Life in general are all one and the same; it’s all about individual style and most import keeping it simple. When photographing and making an Image she looks for the surprise element in her environment, something new and different. She looks for unique strong shapes in nature and man made structure and then capturing the natural light that surrounds it. She is driven to lines and texture and feels this combination is what catches the eye and makes her images interesting, graceful and beautiful to look at.
What defines Linda? The constant curiosity about the nature of things, to learn, grow and stay young in the process and the endless efforts to beautify her world, and preserve it.
