Prometeo
In the factories of Bhavnagar, where the planks of demolished ships are melted down and transformed, the sensation is that of entering an enormous infernal circle dominated by fire, toil and sweat to which men are chained for some mysterious punishment that makes them slaves for 1 dollar a day, for all the coming days.
With his shining eyes this boy was Prometheus to me.
Animals have been part of my life, professional and otherwise, for over 30 years and photographing them has been an absolutely natural path. Only later did my love for travel lead me to discover my passion for documentary and reportage photos. Photographer to tell stories, for an aesthetic and emotional research; the constant search for light, color, the moment but above all the interaction with the people I meet gives me a great boost to sharing and understanding human nature and is an activity that is now indispensable for me.
