High nest
Being a self-taught photographer, Claudio is driven by a creative curiosity which leads him to constantly experiment disparate techniques, both in the shooting and in the post processing stage: as a result, depending on the subject and the meaning that he aims to convey, he produces panoramas, vertoramas, long exposures, high dynamic range captures that are subsequently digitally developed with the utmost attention to details, using the most advanced retouching methods.
Claudio's approach to photography is a perseverant and passionate search of the beauty in its most meaningful form and a constant honing the methods to improve the artistry needed to accomplish it.

entry description
Late afternoon's light on the promontory of Capo Malfatano, Southern Sardinia. The diagonal side light of a cloudy day with a little haze colored the landscape with soft hues, giving it an almost dreamlike atmosphere. One of the most interesting things of this place is its diverse morphology: in this case I've found a high vantage point, taking the photograph from the edge of a sheer cliff. Doing so, I tried to replicate the point of view of a bird of prey from his nest, dominating the surrounding land.about the photographer
Italian designer and photographer for passion, Claudio Beffa's works are focused on the search of the beauty and soul of the destinations of his travels. Interested particularly in Japan and Italy, his photographs encompass the elements which make a place unique and deeply bond with the local culture and history. His body of works covers a vast variety of subjects, from pristine forests and mountains to lively cities, including some ancient and sacred places which, most of the times, are quite distant from the touristic routes. The portfolio includes also traditional celebrations and historical ceremonies and competitions, as well as glimpses of everyday life, which deepen the journey into a land and its culture.Being a self-taught photographer, Claudio is driven by a creative curiosity which leads him to constantly experiment disparate techniques, both in the shooting and in the post processing stage: as a result, depending on the subject and the meaning that he aims to convey, he produces panoramas, vertoramas, long exposures, high dynamic range captures that are subsequently digitally developed with the utmost attention to details, using the most advanced retouching methods.
