Freelance photojournalist, member “AFIP International” and “IAPP”.
I’ve been working professionally since 1986, dealing mainly with jazz, fashion, theater and reportage. I have collaborated with many national newspapers and magazines, sometimes even with the foreign press. I am currently focusing my attention on Music and Portrait. I am also lending new relationships internationally to resume my Reportage activity that I had set aside.
I believe in photography as a means to tell emotions and passions, but also to witness their own era. My slogan: “An image, a story”.
Shooting in color and in black and white, but I prefer the B&W because the color distracts the viewer. With the B&W I can focus my attention on the composition and the lights to communicate my message more effectively. My black and white is characterized by a strong contrast and a reduced range of grays. Lights and shadows are the basic elements of my “palette”. Photographing is my way of meeting eternity. Good light to all the photographers of the world!
