Curious about the world around me for as long as I can remember, I am an eternal learner. My scientific training as a geophysicist and my long-standing interest in art, literature and poetry inspire me to observe the world through my camera. My Covid-19 lockdown challenge was to get a professional-level in photography, and after some studies and exams, it has been such a personal achievement for me to be graduated with first class honors in summer 2021. Since that time, I have been awarded several prizes in renowned international professional photography competitions in landscapes, nature, black and white, and architecture categories.
My scientific background has given me a deep understanding of the natural forces that shape our Earth, and it enriches my approach to photography, allowing me to reveal the magic hidden behind every landscape, every rock, and every cloud.
Inspired by the masters of painting who mastered the art of chiaroscuro, I seek to create images that capture the very essence of light and shadow, bringing to life landscapes that seem to come straight out of a dream. Each shot is a canvas, and each moment is an opportunity to explore the subtle details of our planet, while telling a unique story.
Through my photographs, I want to take you with me on these visual journeys, to let you feel the emotion of each place I capture. I hope my images will awaken your own curiosity, inspiring you to explore, protect and cherish our precious planet.
If the word photography literally means “writing with the light”, then I think this activity is a perfect compromise for me, somewhere between art and science. Because, ultimately photography relies on the optical properties of light, and its famous duality “wave” and “particle” described by quantum mechanics, used for creative purposes.
Quite metaphysic thoughts, don’t you think?
