Who I am Nice question. Discarding answers related to the «sense of the life», I can say to be an analogue photographer in a digital world. Let me explain better myself. I’m a 1970 class guy. When I was 10 I started my «career» using an already old bellows camera (120 film type). It was purely manual. Eye-estimation focus. 6 steps iris. 4 steps manually loaded shutter. I still remember the piece of paper which my mother stiched on the back with notes about speed/iris couple to be used accordingly to the ambient light and weather. As for many people, I’ve had a short (luckily, very short) fashination for Polaroid. For my 14, my father gifted me with a 35mm Canon AE-1 Program: compared to the bellows camera, it would look as a starship. It gave me a lot of satisfactions; I did any kind of experimentations (expensive, becasue the trashed film) but I built an extensive experience on field. Moreover, I’m been lucky because I’ve had good teachers, and I learned many tricks. This is very helpful now, in the diigital age. Since my teacher’s dogma was «Picture has to be good immediatly out the camera», my use of Photoshop is very limited. I need it just for very particular needs, because usually it’s enough to me the use of the camera’s bundled software to correct the intrinsic limit of CCD. My photos are (almost) always as natural as possible, because it’s my point of view on this art. Recently I started collaborations with third part websites, as well as workshops and other activities. On Portfolio section you can see some of my works. Hope you’ll like them.
