"Here's my best horse; if you know how to make a friend of him, he will be an irreplaceable ally against the black bull.But remember, he comes from the Sea and he was led by a god: when he wants, let him free to come and deeply breathe his marine and divine origins"
This is the legend about the horses of the Camargue.
Nowadays they're bred by the gypsies, it's possible to meet them at sunset on the beaches of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
It was 2009 when, before leaving for Sri Lanka, when he picked up his first reflex camera: it was love at first sight.
From that moment he began his training in the photographic field, ranging from reportage to nature photography, up to the use of software for photo editing at a professional level.
His path drives him to highlight the importance of the link between humans and Nature.
Since 2017, photography has become his 24/7 job, taking him to explore the most remote regions on our Planet.
In 2021 Davide was awarded with the first place at the National Awards for Italy at the Sony World Photography Awards.
Because of his international achievements, he has been published in major international magazines such as Forbes, BBC, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Smithsonian Magazine, Daily Mail and the major national media.
