For over 30 years I have organized
events I worked in this area with
dedication even though organizing
servant I always liked photography
of nature with photography I learned
many things
one is when you want to make a
nature photography
you need to disconnect if
disconnect from the digital world to
connect with the real world feel
part of the flow felt to life passing
and understand that you are part of the whole
another exercise we have when
we do nature photography is the
of patience in the city we do not have
when we travel to
farthest places
it’s our first lesson to know
wait the right time
know how to expect an animal that we want
see until he arrives sometimes
It does not arrive but at least we have the
nature photography teaches also
that more attention needs to be paid to
The city does not care much for
details but the nature there are details
that make all the difference
nature photography also teaches
we met our own
Limits
sometimes we do not know how far
You can go
we try sometimes we do not give
But it’s the challenges that drive
people
nature photography also teaches
there are people who want to make a
image of a more distant place more
inhospitable
we have to face some risks
these risks are worth it because people
want to arrive in more different places
than the ones that we are
accustomed to know that there is a
responsibility to bring
the reality of that place for people
difficult to get out of their
comfort of their homes in order to
to a place
like this one and ran if that we people
pass but on the way we find
many unlikely things to go
surprising
there is also the encounter of light and
many things turn out in a way
we were not expecting that
Nature photography also brings
surprises on the way
so you need to be so attentive to the
all the time
nature photography also brings the
gifts
When we have patience in our
first fantastic family trip
I had two pictures that I would like
bring the first is the image of our
family and I could only do this
photography on the last day of our

We attacked in that cathedral and
landed when I set the stage
I made the family to do this
photography
I understood that the photographer he has
magical powers
the photographer can freeze a
moment and that moment today represents
too much for me because this scenario
surely the ice is no more

there are also more because the time

I realized that the truth was being a

It was then that I decided to close my
event production career
I closed my company and open my
drawers
I organized the content I already had

I was invited to set up another and others

a book called vacation in Antarctica

I think that the experience we have
