WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!

There are two kind of photographers: hunters and farmers.

Hunters catch the fleeting moment.

Farmers create their frame, meticulously.

I probably fit in the second category, except I stretch reality and take the whole photographic experience to a whole new level.

I refuse to condemn my subjects to the tedious confinements of reality (or physical world, if you prefer), therefore I choose to change reality, bending the optical laws, and I re-invent the world...only for a fraction of a frame.

Here's the catch: I don't do any of this in post-production (stage during which I merely color process my work).  I achieve all this on camera.

Everything you see, in my work, is the result of a very peculiar photographic technique called light painting.

I bring light to the scene I have previously visualized, but yet non existing (think of a person in three different poses simultaneously, as an example), using a flash light. 

My flash light is my brush, my sword, my holy tool that allows me to turn my inner thoughts into reality.

My other tools are a long exposure wire (this technique can only be explored through long exposure photography), and my tripod (I wouldn't be a "farmer", if I didn't have my tripod with me).

In order to prove the authenticity of my work, separating myself from all the so-called photographers who should be called "graphic designers" instead, since they achieve wonderful things, by photoshopping the hell out of their photos, I attached the negative frames for almost every photo I've posted (my work is exclusively shot on film).

Everything you see, in my photos, was achieved in the "old fashion way".
