Imaging experiences    
   

I fell in love with arts soon in my life because my parents patiently transmitted it to me. My father, a good self-taught drawer and painter, owned an old camera, but he rarely used it. So at the age of sixteen I attended my first photography course and since then, I have gradually discovered the authors, the technics, the tools, in one word the passion, for the world of photography.

The slowliness of my approach to the professional photography is due to the time I spent in many other passions in my life: sports, computer, movie, drawing and painting. But all of these contributed to make me carefull in observing more then seeing at the world around me; and what is important to me is that since the early time my walking and my stunning in front of an image has never stopped.

Eventually computer has become my job and photography my language.

Since 2007 I have been collaborating with Maghera Fotografia a cultural association that promote the knowledge of photography as art

Due to my deep knolwledge of computer science I never suffered the step from analogic to digital photography. On the contrary, because of the fact I had difficulties to have access to a traditional dark room, I have always expected the moment in which computer would have been fast enough to elaborate image composed of millions of bytes. At the end of '80s the cost for a vga (640x480 256 colors) card was desperately high and I was obliged to elaborate my thesis about Computer Aided Design using an EGA video card (640x350 16 colors). From the mid '90s to nowadays I approached with increasing interest image elaboration programs. But the road to have my first photography printed on a piece of paper has been long and winding.

In 2001 I bought my first digital camera a Nikon Coolpix 950 an excelent 2MPixel camera. Even today go on to elaborate photos I took with that camera between 2001 and 2004.

But there was a problem to solve: having a print that could compete with chemical process involved purchasing a professional printer, and above all, understanding the digital color management. At the end in 2008 I was able to obtain my first fine art B&W print.

But I stil go on to explore the best way to obtain a perfect print getting the best from the experiences of professionals. In june 2010 I attended a course of digital printing in Rovereto. The teacher was Antonio Manta one of the best known italian professional printers.

Encouraged by the results obtained by digital printing, I began to partecipate to exibitions:

  • In 2008 I patecipatd to the collective exibition to celebrate the 25th year of activity of Marghera Fotografia cultural association.
  • On August 2009 my first personal exibition in the photo gallery inside the mall "Le Barche"
  • On November 2009 a personal exibition in Jesolo
  • On December 2009 the collective exibition "Immagini d'Autore" by Marghera Fotografia
  • On Marh 2010 the collective exibition of the members of Marghera Fotografia
  • On October 2010 the collective exhibition "Tracciati Visionari" in Villa Onigo in Trevignano (TV)

Recently photography has also become part of my job:

  • I collaborate with prof.arch. Giovanni Claudio Noventa, teacher in Università Salesiana S.I.S.F. in Venice, for drawing and photography courses.
  • I collaborate with ULTRARKITETTURA company in Mestre as a consultant for visual communication.
  • I collaborate with INSIDE company (lighting and interior design) in Mogliano for the products' catalogue publishing.
