I was born in Italy in 1976, I have a degree in
Telecommunication Engineering and I work as consultant
in Information Technologies. I have many hobbies,
sport, trekking, music and the photography. I begun
to follow this last one many years ago, when I was a
teenager, but just in 2007 I started to expect
more from my pictures. In 2006 I got my first analogical
reflex, a Nikon F65, and in 2007 I switched to digital
with a Nikon D40X, and now I’m using a Canon 50D.
For a long time I’ve been taking photos in a soft manner,
without thinking about light, composition and so on, but
then I realized that was not enough for me, so I begun to
study on some books, but yet I was not satisfied.
In April my photographic life changed...
In that period I was very lucky because I met
Pietro Cenini,
a professional photographer of world-wide renown, and
after I followed his lessons I completely changed my
approach to the camera. I think Pietro isn’t just an
excellent photographer, both on technical and theoretical
level, but he also has a great capacity to spread the
beauty of photography through his words. I actually
follow his refresher courses because of the awesome
passion he can transmit.
By nature I prefer portrait photography, even if that’s
not my only focus, but I’m trying to sweep the various
kinds of photography. Since photography is not my only
hobby, I try to combine it with the others, like
naturalistic photography, as you can see in the
photo galleries. I think this is a great exercise
for me and I think that it helps the website being
less boring :).
Now I’m getting exited about the naturalistic
photography, but I must say that a good shot is
very difficult to take. There are many reasons for
this choice, and the first is that this way I can
do everything by myself, even if it means lying
down and waiting for hours or getting up very early
in the morning, ‘cause it is very helpful for me.
In August 2009 I had the luck to meet
Juza,
a great naturalistic photographer, and to have a
share in one of his workshop of macro-photography
and landscapes. Even if very young, he is a great
background both on photographic and technologic level,
and after his explanation I had to say that I could
see the results.
The first time I thought about a web site was in 2007,
I wanted to show the landscapes seen during my hikes
in the mountains, but the work has been stuck for a
long time. Now I decided to complete the work. This
web site is all made by myself, because I hate all
kind of ads, and because I think on a photography
web site our eyes must see only photos.
This site has the Italian and the English version, and
this means that the effort to update it is very hard,
because I must write first in Italian and then in English,
so I must write the same page twice :).
