A passion for nature from an early age led me to photography as a means to capture magical moments of nature and wildlife. Starting with wildlife and wide spacesI developed my own vision of photography.

Landscape photography is an eternal quest for atmosphere where the light and the quest of beauty are key references, my aesthetic landmark. My photographic intention relies on my magnetic attraction for wide spaces combined with my quest of beautiful lights.
A way that inspires me and my instinct of freedom.

In photography, I’m looking for simple pictures, which go straight to the subject core, with very few things in the frame.
I follow a suggestive approach: I don’t try to show a subject as it is, but to share what it expresses. It’s my way of telling stories and conveying my sensibility, like my recent work “Evanescence”.

Combining my passion for pictures with rugged landscapes, I organize and guide photo tours with Photographes du Monde agency for seven years. From north of Europe (Scotland, Norway, Finland) to South america (Chile and Bolivia), my photographic world leads me into areas of wilderness from where I draw my main source of inspiration.

The recognition I’ve received at WPY, and GDT photography competitions strengthen and encourage me in this photography pursuit. My photographs are showcased by Naturagency for illustrative collaborations and exhibited in Art galleries for more personal works. By the way, Fujifilm and Cokin filters offer me to become ambassador of their products.
