Afraid of the idea that memories faded away with time, I was constantly taking pictures.
I loved the sea, the sunsets, the silhouettes of trees and if I didn’t have my camera with me or if the film roll was finished, I used to close my eyelids to “print” the image in my mind so that it could not fade away.
In my teenage years, I used to write poems, short stories and songs using paper and ink.
When I grew up and stopped writing, I felt the urge to express myself in new ways picking up the camera and seeking the light as a form of Art.
Then I never stopped writing really... I just evolved my tools, replaced the ink with light and the paper with the film rolls.
With time I got more and more impassioned about taking pictures, so my best friends bought me a Minolta reflex film camera when I graduated from University in 2002. It was the best present ever! I could finally leverage on the full manual settings to make the most of my imagination and creativity.
Today I fully switched to Canon equipment and I love to explore different photographic styles: landscapes, macro, abstract, street, live events and portraits.
Everything always starts with an emotion that I like to capture and freeze in time, writing stories with light.
