To call myself a photographer is something that for me is not natural. I embrace photography as an escape, as the time I have only for my thoughts and where, at my pace, I can detach myself from this world that wants everything to happen too fast.

I live and have lived all my life in an urban environment, yet I have had the privilege, since I was very young, to be in touch with the natural world, a factor that has certainly shaped the way I feel and observe what surrounds me. I remember well the summers at my grandparents' house, where I used to climb trees to watch birds more closely and see fireflies at twilight. 

First there's the going out, the being there, observing what exists and passes by, only afterwards comes the photography. The process was natural and to a certain extent inevitable, because guided by the curiosity that I nurture for the natural environment and its beings, I had the necessity to register them. The aesthetic aspect is what matters most to me, I always set aside the mere registration, always giving primacy to the light and its quality and where an animal in communion with its environment is what catches my attention.
