Last 60 with my 50 – The Compound
Here we go with the first part of ‘Last 60 with my 50’: a mini-project on our last 2 months in Saudi Arabia. Let’s start checking how the compound looks through the eye of my new 50mm. For a Westerner Expat the Compound is a piece of Europe, or US, in the Kingdom. With few exceptions, whatever […]
It’s Over! – E’ Finita!
Our adventure in Saudi Arabia is coming to an end and we are already thinking at what soon will be our new home. We see everywhere signs that send our minds to the USA and we have a list of friends met here that will be our neighbors in Houston, once we will be there. […]
Capture the Joy!
There are places where a simple walk becomes an experience that brings joy to your eyes. That’s when I am happy I always carry a camera with me: that’s how I can capture and frame and express that sense of joy and wonder. We spent the first week of April back to Italy and, as it’s […]
Slow Down
Walk outside by the sea, breathe sun and wind. Disconnect from work, e-mails and next week’s meetings. Live the life here and now. Soon we will be back to our routine but that doesn’t matter now. For these pictures with a lot of sunshine and crispy colors I am leaving behind my usual Portra filters […]
When we are back
It’s almost 3 years we left Italy but when we are back there are things that just didn’t change. And we are happy every time we meet our friends, enter our home and go back doing the same things we were used to.
Born in the KSA
A good walk with friends, enjoying the warm weekends that the Eastern Province offers in March. A good chance for street shooting. The Eastern Province is famous for its oil-rich soil that attracted thousands of Western Expats to work for the major Oil&Gas or Engineering companies. Local people here are used to see us walking […]
Red – Rosso
Today no time for words: just the fraction of a second to capture these red seeds. And the week will flow smooth, and on Thursday we fly back home! Oggi non c’è tempo per le parole: appena una frazione di secondo per catturare questi semi rossi. E la settimana andrà via liscia, e Giovedì si […]
The Secrets of Photography
While reading ‘The Art of Photography’ from Bruce Barnbaum I was forced to think once again at two aspects that have always intrigued me: what does each photographer like to capture and how each of us reacts to our own interests in order to take the picture. This process started my personal self analysis extended to my […]
Dubai is Not Venice
How can a photographer find inspiration regardless of the place where he lives in? It is easy to think that the environment shapes our photography and, actually, this is the truth most of the times! Photographers from the beautiful Tuscany, Italy, are well known around the world for their wonderful panoramas. Not only that: if […]
Zen Photography in Oman
Eventually we fixed our trip to Oman! It was almost one year we were thinking about it and that much we took to take action. Short trip at the beginning of February: 4 days including travelling (well not that much: from Saudi it’s just 1.5 hours), stayed at a nice hotel for the right price and […]
Money and Photography: confessions from an (ex)addicted – Soldi e Foto: confessioni di un (ex)maniaco
Of all my hobbies, only wind-surfing could burn my money faster than photography. Those who approach photography for the first time they’d better be prepared. I knew people who migrated from Canon to Nikon overnight, selling out for cheap money camera and L-lenses bought in ten years of sacrifices. Degli hobby che ho avuto solo […]
