BIOGRAPHY
I was born and have always lived in Venice. No, not that Venice’s historical centre anymore. Now I live on one of lagoon islands, named Murano. As a "self-taught" photographer I am very proud of all my improvements and of how much I have grown by working on portrait, street photography and fine art. For me, photography is more a passion than a profession, and my goal is to continue improving myself. Of course, what I see through my camera depends on what I have inside of me. When I see a particular light on the objects of shooting it feels like I just have to capture it. Indeed, LIGHT is my source of inspiration. The images I capture are private emotions I want to express, moments I want to fix and make eternal. It means to breathe and to be alive. There are moments in life when one can say to be really happy, so happiness is when you are able to recognize them. The closed-mindedness of people is not one of them. I have often had to justify my passion. So, an integral part of my work is a complete and genuine view. My dream project is to immortalize people in their simplicity and intimacy.
