Maternite Photograph

I still remember when my mother allowed me to use her camera Nikon FM3 during a cruise in the Mediterranean; under the incredulous eyes of her friends, I began to take photographs. It was 1988 ... I was 6 years old. The results of my photos were exciting, certainly for the settings that my mother made to the camera. Framing, focus and photographic cut, in spite of my youth and my inexperience, did predict immediately that the world of photography would become my new playing field. I was fascinated by what I've always felt a little time machine and so I asked, the same year, as a birthday present my personal camera. Konica arrived, fully automatic focus and digital zoom. I remember that I was not especially pleased, I was hoping to have a Nikon as that of my mother, who still, in many occasions such as trips or birthday parties, let me use with the relevant recommendations! Late 80s, fully automatic, my camera Konica was a great help to me because I learned the concept of photographic cut without worrying about all the other issues related to the physical. When I was 16, I asked my Nikon camera and my small set of lenses. The study of different texts in photography and the help of my mother gave me the foundation needed to understand the instrument I had in my hands. In two years, alternating between school and my afternoon job as lifeguard in the pool, I managed to buy my first objectives: a telephoto lens and a macro. Thanks to the work of my father, in the art market, I got my first job assignments as a photographer of works of art: paintings, sculptures and jewelry. So I met the art world, I began to introduce myself as a skilled photographer but also as an artistic photographer. I began to appear in several national auctions and expose my pictures in different exhibition sites in Italy. This world, even if completely revolutionized by digital cameras SLR, always fascinates me and I continue my never-ending research for the right mix of wonder and light, starting from the phenomenon to get to the noumenon. This world has been completely revolutionized by digital SLR cameras, changing the world of photography. A new art form was emerging: digital art. Since the end of the 90s I immediately became familiar with these new and powerful tools trying to fix the border between photography and digital art or to interconnect them in a single new form.
