Midnight
DESCRIPTION
11:30 p.m., I started the most bizarre shooting session of my life, the sun never went down, the minutes passed and it let itself be observed, as it illuminated the foreground with a blinding golden light and dyed (absurd) the clouds orange, one of those situations that leave any landscape photographer speechless. The shooting session over, I got off the mountain with the sky still all red, took the van, drove to the airport to enjoy the sunrise peeking out from behind the Lofoten Islands (the dark archipelago seen in the distance) then, a few hours of sleep, during the day, which never ended.

In 2008 I approached Photography buying a small camera to capture the first landscapes, the first trips. Six years later I started to study deeply the techniques of planning, shooting and editing while i started to think about my own style, experimenting with the first wide field photographs. Today, after these years of research i finally have found my way to represent the strong connection i have with nature, with the landscape; the extreme panoramas are the language that I have sewn to myself, a choice sometimes uncomfortable (you have to consider the elements in front of, on the side and behind the point of shooting, often you can not shoot), but that gives me a way to express the immense beauty of what surrounds us, trying to inspire those who follow me to travel, to be curious, to respect and appreciate every scenario that nature, generous, gives us.
