MY PHOTOGRAPHY

I grew up in the beautiful north western Italian region known as Piedmont, a land where nature shows its beauty in many different and constantly changing ways.
The large, calm Po River crossing the Pianura Padana, the Italian widest plain with its enchanted rural sceneries, the glacial lakes at the feet of the Alps, the Monferrato and Langhe hills emerging from the plain like a green, wooden promontory, and finally the majestic setting of the Western Alps, with its 4000 mts. peaks and untouched wild areas.
An area offering infinite photographic subjects that I depict with a serene, intimate style.
Around dawn and sunset, when light is at its best, are my favourite hours to photograph, together with those moments when hard or somehow unusual weather conditions contribute to provide the scene with unique drama and mood.
My aim is to deliver strong compositions, enticing colours, haunting atmospheres and to depict the innermost beauty of nature by focusing on its essential elements of colours, patterns and textures.
While keeping my  homeland as the main arena for my photography projects, a restless growing passion for landscapes has led me to extensively travel throughout Italy and to regularly visit France and other European countries, always looking for new challenging subjects to capture.

GEARS AND FILMS

I work indifferently with medium format film and digital cameras. In both cases, I personally manage the entire process from the film scan or RAW file conversion up to the delivery to the professional laboratory of the final “ready to print” output.

When I shoot film, I generally use Fuji Velvia 50, Velvia 100F and Provia 100F for color, and Ilford Pan F 50 for black and white. These emulsions are all featuring an extremely fine grain, suitable to produce large prints without any quality loss.

FINE ART PRINTS

Fine quality prints of all images displayed in this site are available with different sizes.
Four sizes are generally available for all pictures displayed in the site: 20x30 cms, 30x45 cms, 40x60 cms and 60x90cms. These are paper sizes, while the actual size of prints may vary depending on the sides ratio, which is not always  3:2. For example, square prints will be delivered as 20x20 cms, 30x30 cms, 40x40 cms and 60x60cms. These are not the only available sizes. Should you require a different size, please enquire here.

For film photographs, I personally produce scans with an Epson V750 scanner, which delivers stunning quality digital ouputs suitable for prints up to 30x45 cms. For larger prints, film is sent to a professional lab for drum scanning with an Imacon scanner.

Prints from my photographs are true photographs, not inkjet or thermal printouts, and Kodak Pofessional Endura is the paper support I generally use for my prints. It's a true photographic paper, and the chemical print process is managed through one of the best Digilabs available on the market, such as the Lafot Digi 5. I choosed  Kodak Professional Endura paper because delivers professional quality images in both digital and optical printing devices, such as the Lafot Digi 5. It features a slightly enhanced colour gamut for rich colours and an exceptional, smooth tones reproduction. Finally, this paper represents the state-of-the-art in terms of stability for chemical prints from digital photographs, reaching 100 years in typical home display.

I also supply photographs printed onto pure cotton fine art painter's canvas. Canvases are printed through professional inkjet plotters such as the Epson Stylus Pro 7880.  Prints on canvas  represent a unique and contemporary alternative to traditional photo prints.

Both paper prints and canvas are delivered unframed and unmounted, and personally signed on verso. Together with the print, you will also receive a signed certificate of authenticity, reporting the image caption and the print features.

HANDLING AND SHIPPING

I ship prints worldwide and the shipping costs are included in the prints price. Packaging is rock solid, as I only use strong carboard tubes and I pad both extremities with soft paper in order to prevent the prints to move inside the tube. I only use international priority mail.

Delivery time is generally from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the required size and print support.
