entry description
China is everywhere, even in my heart. The journey to this legendary country, known today above all for its galloping and engulfing economy, hides surprising corners of the world. Villages not far from the most modern and populous metropolises offer themselves to the traveler as ancient images of a past history and almost forgotten. An adventure among the Miao populations with strange hairstyles and the magical experience of traditional fishing with cormorants.about the photographer
I am an Italian photographer, I live in the mountains of Trentino and I arrived in the world of photography by chance. As a child I used to play with an old camera found who knows where, the object fascinated me and from that moment photography has never left me. I have experimented with various photographic approaches and I have chosen to dedicate myself to travel photography. My work is inspired by the passage of time and the desire to preserve the memories of those places and peoples that will soon give way to modernity. With my work I would like to tell stories of unknown people, physically remote but humanly close, creating empathy between the viewer and the subject, enhancing their elegance and authenticity. Today I especially like photography that tells but also lets you imagine, that moves and suggests reflections. A narrative photograph.back to gallery
