entry description
Low-key portraits of two italian greyhounds whose colour coat is called "seal". Seal coloured dogs look jet black at first, but their coat has a fascinating red cast when viewed in light.about the photographer
Musician, leather artisan and finally photographer: I've devoted all my life to creativity. I've started taking pictures because I wished to recount my pets' life, most of whom are sighthounds and cats. In a short time, photography became more than a pastime and I felt the need to improve. Trough the mastery of techniques, I tried to convey my own feelings of a subject to the viewers of its pictures taken by me. That's why I like portraiture so much, I guess, even if I often enjoy myself with still life and macro photography in my studio. And that's great, since pet photography is an everchanging field in which I can experience different genres – even outdoor, action and sports photography, when I attend to sighthounds' recreational activities like lure coursing.back to gallery
