A bird, probably a seagull, observes the sea in the mist from the top of an iceberg. Jokulsarlon, Iceland.about the photographer
I am an Italian photographer and I began to take an interest in this medium a few years ago, discovering, almost by chance, its enormous potential. Since then, I have not stopped shooting and, I hope, improving ("Your first 10,000 photos are the worst!"). Travelling it has become the inseparable companion of adventures because symbolically it unites two things that seem to be made for each other and that share a common spirit: the desire for discovery. Photography is the memory of other worlds, a gaze that privileges and multiplies the complexity of the existing, testimony and representation of existence itself. To frame, to shoot, means to choose between the infinite possibilities with which the things of the world are continually revealed, educating the eye to observe them. Among my favorite subjects are animal life and the natural world, landscapes, but also portraits especially set.back to gallery
