In the fifteenth anniversary of the death of the great Italian photographer Mario Giacomelli, one of my best loved artists, I want to join the initiative of many other photographers and dedicate this shot to his memory.

There’s nothing better than a solitary autumn walk in the woods to reconcile ourselves with the world. And I’m lucky enough to have a beautiful wild park just near home. Needless to say, the fall has always been my preferred season, colorful and faded at the same time.

New shot for my series “Around”, a photo composition around some colored trees in this beautiful autumn in Berlin.

The artwork is printed in limited edition. It is available for sale by contacting me directly or by ordering it on-line on my Fine Art Showroom.

High hopes of immigration

This photo that I have taken in Sicily grotesquely represents the consequences of immigration we are living nowadays.

Place: Beach of Noto, near Siracusa (Sicily – Italy).
Year: 2014

A happy child is playing on a swing hung by unaware bathers on the remains of an immigrants’ boat. The vessel ran aground and then was slowly swallowed by the wet sand of the shore, to the point of leaving only the top metal structure exposed, making it unrecognizable to beach goers (see the original ship here below).
