entry description
Indian traditional gyms represent a small world apart. These are often little-known places where kids and guys from all origin train with the dream, the tenacity and the dedication to become someone. It takes just a few minutes here to realize the respect these young people have for traditions, the great commitment and serenity that they breathe as soon as they cross the gate of this 'temple' that heals mind and body. They come from different families and castes, but here they are brothers and here they share dreams. In a pause between the workouts that take place in the clayey sand, this tired but satisfied athlete pose for me.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
