Alien Rocks
Along the Tuscan coast, in Italy, there are some very particular rock formations. here we are in Calafuria, near the famous coastal city of Livorno. I took this photograph at sunset, when the warm light of the sun lights up the colors of the cliffs. attention to detail and sensitivity to nature are essential to be able to see what is usually unnoticed.
These strange rock shapes, broken by golden lines, seem to come from another planet.
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.
