AUTHOR
I am an advanced amateur photographer, with fifteen years of experience.

I started taking pictures in the go-kart races where I participated. Gradually I was trying to evolve my technique, improving equipment and seeking knowledge through courses and literature.

Among my areas of interest highlight landscape photography and urban, especially using black and white as a form of expression.

In 2014 and 2015, I lived in Miami, taking the opportunity to improve my technique with great American photographers like John Batdorff, Kurt Budliger and Robert Chaplin.

I love to travel and I visited more than 50 countries. For me, photography is an excellent excuse to be on the road! In addition to the contact with other cultures, travel possible click a variety of subjects such as National Parks of the American West, the Havana hidden from tourists, the daily life of Paris, Northern lights, etc
