I'm not simple to understand, my behaviour is often aggressive but sometimes I'm also able to be sweet and accomodating.. However I love photography as an Art, I think that is possible to shoot good photos also handling a common camera and that the photographer is the painter of our own feelings as they are seen thru the camera lenses

"A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind."
-- By Albert Einstein

Artist's Statement

I think that photography is like a Time Machine, you are able to go back in the past leafing through your photo album, you are able to go forward in the future simply leafing through your imagination.

I began to shoot photos at the age of 10, my mother lend to me for a school trip her camera, a Minolta srT100x with a rokkor 45mm, and I returned back with about five 36exp films. Since that day I realized that photography would had been the only Art suitable for me.

I like to photograph nature, urban life and landscapes but I love also CGI manipulations and advanced shoot techniques as HDR. For this reason I like to describe myself as a 'Free Spirit'.

From 2004 I began to shoot in digital with a Nikon D70 and I still don't know what future can deserve for me.
