Biography
A balance feeling between Photography and Aikido. Photographer since more than 15 years of experience (2010) now, I'm readily defined as somebody who likes to take risks and permanently filled with wonder for which to carry out the dream of people is the central element. My key word on photography? the desire. This is the word which summarizes besides best my expression of the first our and also my professional point of view: I remember pretty well that I recieve my first Kodak at the age of 5 on holidays to Rome and wondering the print results. And it is around my 13th that I develop and prints my first black and white photographs taked on a Nikon F. Mid the twenties, I would certainly to be a professional photographer (with a Hasselblad 500c from 1969…) just after my commercial studies. Then begin a nice career with the big change from analog to digital photography, the customers not having never ceased believing in me. Today (41), I'm always ready, just and patient and respectfully holder of the 4th generation of a "gr8" photographer family.

Aikidoka since more than 30 years of experience (2011) now, I'm My key word on Aikido? the joy.
