1968
Genoa, Italy.
Graduated from the Art School N. Barabino
Degree in Architecture from the University of Genoa.
Self-taught and semi-professional photographer.
I think I took the first photo when I was 5 on the ski slopes with my father's camera; from that moment I have memories of me with a camera in my hand.
The first serious machine was my father's Nikon FM, which gave me the basics and also taught me how to develop and print in black and white.
The FM is still working and every now and then I take a few shots.
For professional reasons I then switched to digital.
My photography is the result of my artistic studies and my interests: composition, light, color are the basis of my shots regardless of the subject.
My profession as an architect has led me to deepen the architectural theme even if always in an interdisciplinary way, or as I like to say, hybridized by the other arts (painting, sculpture, cinema), so when I take a photo of a building the result it is not the representation of the complete subject but of a series of details, of spaces, of both, which characterize it and how it defines and relates to the internal and external space.
But not just architecture; in reality it does not matter "what" the photographer but "how": the idea is the basis of everything.
