nature connections
here I was in a place full of life, animals, colors, flowers, streams and waterfalls everywhere around me. that morning on the French Alps, a storm prevented me from leaving the tent. a few hours after dawn, however, the clouds began to thin out, and a ray of light illuminated the meadows at high altitudes, and the waterfall that gave life to the stream that flowed not far from me. all the elements seemed to be connected to each other, and I, who wanted to be part of this connection, started photographing the wonder before my eyes.
Born in Pietrasanta, in Tuscany, in 1991. Since I was a child I have a great attraction towards nature, which represents for me an immense source of inspiration. Over the years, thanks to the many experiences spent on the mountains and the ocean, I felt the need to share the emotions I experienced, and this is how my passion for landscape photography was born. The first reflex was a gift to me at the age of 22, and since then I have always tried to improve myself and deepen my knowledge, both in the field and in post production. I love being immersed in the wildest and most unspoiled places, walking in the woods off the beaten trails, on the mountains or on rocky beaches. In my shots I am committed to portraying not only what my eyes see, but also the connection that I can establish with the nature that surrounds me. I consider photography a powerful mean of expression, as well as a real cure for all evil. In the future I will continue my journey to discover the territory, looking for new ideas, new scenarios, and new emotions to tell.
