Biography and Awards
I am a nature photographer based in Bologna, Italy. I'm specialized in landscapes, wild animals and macro photography. I have been honored with national and international awards for my passion and talent in photography. In addition to being a photographer, I am also the president of the Santa Viola Photographic Club of Bologna and a photography course tutor.
My love for photography began at a young age, when I first picked up a camera and discovered the magic of capturing a unique moment. Over the years, I have honed my skills and developed a unique style that is both artistic and documentary. I believe that photography is not only a way to document the world around us, but also an ode to the beauty of nature.
I have always been drawn to the wild and untamed aspects of nature, and it is this fascination that drives my photography. My work is a celebration of the natural world, and I strive to capture the essence of the subjects that I photograph. Whether it is the majesty of a mountain range, the grace of a wild animal or the intricate details of a flower, I aim to showcase the beauty and wonder of nature through my lens.
As president of the Santa Viola Photographic Club of Bologna and a photography teacher, I am dedicated to sharing my passion for photography with others. I believe that photography has the power to inspire, educate and connect people, and I am proud to be a part of a community of like-minded individuals who share this belief.
My passion for photography and nature continues to grow, and I look forward to many more years of capturing the beauty of the world through my lens. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to appreciate and respect the natural world, and to do my part in preserving it for future generations.
