my story
my roots
Born as the only child of two world explorers, both deeply artistic souls.
I inherited from them the artistry that flows in my blood and the freedom and support to be able to express it.
I felt loved through their eyes, and with
the same intention I look at the world and people
through my camera lens.
my logo
I always wear/never take it off a Native American Hopi ring with this paw, the same one I chose for my logo.
If someone were to ask me what love and photography are, I'd answer by showing this, telling that they are our personal and unique imprint we leave on this earth and that continues to live, even without us, in the hearts and lives of those who will be able to feel it and allow it to evolve.
my inspiration
A legend tells that in each of us live together, constantly fighting, a white and a black wolf. The one who wins is the one we feed. I think that to recognize which of the two is the enemy it's necessary to observe, understand and know him. Photography is the tool. Lenses are the shield that protects us and empathy is the intention we need to put...to often discover that there's no enemy but only a wounded part of ourselves to love harder !
...and that's why photography is my (he)art.
