I was born in 1982 in Reggio di Calabria, where I still live and work.
My first reflex was a Nikon D80 which my parents gave me for gaining my Bachelor in Law degree in 2007.
For me, wildlife photography is about losing oneself in the forests. It’s about admiring the dawn and the sunset, climbing mountains to see the clouds under my feet and to observe the wild animals, leaving far behind the mobile, the TV and the hectic routine. With photography I try to demonstrate how many wonders of the world we just don’t see, being so caught up in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. I try to share my respect and amazement in front of the colourful and incomparable beauty of nature. Lately, however, I’ve also been approaching the subject of portraits.
I want to transmit, through the composition, light and colour of my work, the emotion that I feel when my Nikon captures a moment in time forever. Every photo has its own history, arousing fond memories in me whilst always bringing other emotions to the sensitive observer.
Photography is a journey, it is friendship, it is discovery.
