ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Sometimes I feel like we are just a little dot on a such a massive planet, just a minuscule part of the vastness of nature that has been here for billions of years, and yet we are just passing through for a few decades. But no matter how small we may be, we are still a part of it, and even though our stay is brief, this planet will remain as a witness of our presence. I remain in hope that this presence will always be nurturing and not destructive.

AUTHOR
As a portrait photographer with a strong background in theatre, I'm used to working with models, MUA's and stylists to create a vibrant theatrical scene. Because of the pandemic, I was forced to slow down my photo projects and so I couldn't interact anymore with my subjects or have the level of creativity I had before. For this reason I decided to go back to my origins in analog photography. I re-discovered the pleasure of being an observer of reality rather than a creator of scenery, and I felt once again the thrill of shooting slow. The excitement of shooting with film is endless. It forces you to think carefully before pushing the button, obligating you to give more importance to the moment rather than clicking mindlessly as so many of us are used to doing now with the complex technologies of our smartphones. The pandemic impacted my life harshly, but it gave me the precious opportunity to breathe life again into a type of photography that I lost and forgot about.
