Great opportunities to shoot interesting pictures, despite the season…

Even in the summer, when the weather is hot and dry it is possible to find fascinating things to photograph if you take a look around. The main thing is to be creative in the way you approach your subject.  Try different shots, get a different perspective, and background while you take photographs. Sometimes a different colour in the background can make a huge difference in the final composition.…

Where to start to work on a photographic project?

Where to start to work on a photographic project?

In order to build up a good photography project and be consistent in the outcomes, we might want to keep a journal where we can write down all the stages of the project, starting from good research, which will help us to support our idea. Keeping track of the improvements will guide us to reach our goals and it’s a useful strategy to gain confidence. The best way to be conscious of our…

Is it just me or...

Is it just me or…

Having a camera can make you notice things that often would go unnoticed (I know, I often say this). Then looking at your photographs you realize you have a tendency to photograph a certain colour and a certain subject. Nature has always fascinated me and blue flowers attracted me the most.  I’m not quite sure why, but when I go out as soon as I see a blue flower I feel the urge to photograph it.…

An unexpected guest paid a visit this morning! :-)

An unexpected guest paid a visit this morning! :-)

Look what I found this morning! A wild mushroom in a pot on my balcony…I love it when this happens!! Simple things make me happy!! 🙂

I decided to experiment a little with colours, composition, and a shallow depth of field to make an interesting series of photographs this morning, just for fun! By using a shallow depth of field, or a wide aperture, the subject in focus is one object (or part of…

Why spontaneity is a gift.

Why spontaneity is a gift.

Despite what some people might think, spontaneity doesn’t always come naturally to us….as we tend to adopt different strategies to interact with other people or avoid confrontations. We might also do this with ourselves, as a sabotaging strategy, without realizing it, to escape certain realities that make us feel uncomfortable. But pushing the boundaries often requires us to come out from our…

Can mistakes sometimes be beneficial?

Can mistakes sometimes be beneficial?

Often what we consider mistakes can bring some kind of benefit to our lives. In photography, for example,  there are plenty of rules that we can decide to follow if we want to, but shooting with an open mind can give us surprising results. Always leave a margin for mistakes, as this can lead to a more personal and unique interpretation of the world around us.  Photographs can convey deep feelings…

Thriving through boundaries.

Sometimes we take decisions which lead us towards a less comfortable situation, pushing our boundaries so that we can grow into e new version of ourselves.  This often takes some kind of courage and, therefore, it’s not an easy thing to do. We like our good and bad habits because we know what to expect. But the nicest things happen when we thing outside the box.

In the past three years I’ve been…

Just above the city...

Just above the city…

It’s becoming a good habit of mine, to walk around town with a friend, my dog and my camera. Usually, you are so familiar with the place you live in that several things can get unnoticed, especially small things. The camera often works as a magnifying glass, where ordinary things gain importance while they are put into a different context. You choose and select the world around you in order to…

Looking up...

Looking up…

Sunday morning spent looking up… Easy, relaxing shots. My kind of yoga exercise…slowly getting into my daily routine!

A 50 mm lens changes everything, style and prospettive, getting farther away from the subject and giving the opportunity of using empty space, to draw the viewer attention through the composition.
