AUTHOR
I was born in Rome on 25 June 1983.
I started to taking pictures since as a child. Around 16 years old i began to direct my passion toward photo-reportage especially in social, anthropology, and travel photography. i really like the traditional and spiritual aspect of different people and culture that i meet in journey. I always use the natural light present in the place when i take pictures and for the digital postproduction i use only the techniques similar at those possible in the "darkroom".
I use both digital and analogic film reflex camera.
