Who I am

After many years, countless miles traveled, and thousands of people photographed on every occasion and in almost every corner of the world, I don’t believe my passion and desire to travel have diminished. On the contrary, given that today’s technology provides us with tools that were unimaginable just a few years ago, I’d like to bring back to life some projects I started planning some time ago but, for one reason or another, never carried out.

I’d like to travel the way I used to at the beginning, using only local means of transportation and avoiding hotels for foreigners, except on a few occasions. I’d also like to return to places I’ve already been, back when I was still “unripe” and not as technologically equipped as I am now.

For those curious about the gear I currently use, I shoot with two Sony cameras, the A1 and the A7IV, and a wide range of lenses, including two Canon tilt-shift lenses mounted with an adapter. Drones give me an incredible advantage, allowing me to see things that would otherwise be impossible. I have a Mavic 3 Pro, a backup Mavic 2 Pro, and the latest addition, the Mini 5 Pro, which can fly with fewer restrictions as it weighs under 250 grams.
