About me…

Amateur photographer – professional – amateur again. Three stages that, when seen with the perspective of time, seem to describe not only a path in photography, but also a way of living and of looking at the world. Each stage had its own rhythm, its challenges, and its moments of light. There was a time of discovery and enthusiasm, another of commitment, work, and discipline, and now a third that, in some way, returns to the beginning: photographing for the simple pleasure of seeing.

In the early years everything was a source of wonder. The camera was a key that opened invisible doors: the possibility of stopping time, of preserving a moment that would otherwise disappear forever. Every image was a small discovery, a way of learning to observe more carefully the light, the gestures, and the quiet presence of places and people.

Then came the professional stage. Photography became a craft, a responsibility, and a complete dedication. There were projects, assignments, long days, and the constant effort to reach a more precise way of seeing. It was a time of growth and deep learning, when technique and sensitivity walked together. It was also a time filled with satisfaction: the opportunity to tell stories and to create images that would travel far beyond the moment in which they were taken.

Now, with the years and experience gathered along the way, photography has once again become something intimate. There is no longer haste or pressure. The camera accompanies my travels as a quiet companion, ready to capture those places in the world where wonder still lives. Photographing once again becomes a free, almost contemplative gesture.

Every journey brings with it the discovery of landscapes that seem to come from a dream: ancient cities, mountains that change color with the light of sunset, seas that breathe slowly toward the horizon. They are places filled with magic, where one is reminded that the planet we inhabit is truly extraordinary.

And in each of those places, photography fulfills its simplest and deepest role: reminding us that beauty exists and that, if we learn to look calmly, it is always there. Because in the end, more than a profession or a pastime, photographing is a way of thanking the world for everything it offers.

To have enjoyed this world has been a “Lucky Strike”
