I took these pictures of fishing tools during a short trip by the "Delta del Po" in Italy. "Delta del Po" is the area where the Po river goes in to the sea. The people of this area leaves hardly fishing mussels and eels, and the life is not as rich as in other places.
I mainly takes my pictures in black and white because I believe the world, in which we live surrounded by colors, should be considered in its essence not forgetting to reach the heart of things.
Through the use of long time shoots and the research of symmetries, shapes and contrasts, I try to recreate a place under a different point of view made of simple and abstracted figures. I choose a square format in order to make the picture free of any kind of established influences.
I prefers cloudy, rainy and foggy weather conditions necessaries for deeper and more individual atmospheres. I mainly work during the sunrise or in the night, when the ambient is more quiet.
I don’t look for fairy landscapes, but try to find the beauty in them. According to him beautiful is everywhere and having the right inner eyes is enough to get in symbiosis with the subjects to represent.
My work ends in post-production or in the dark room, and this is the moment in which I give to the photos my typical feature.
Concluding, my photography is more a free interpretation of reality than a real representation of it. It is a deep story in which sometimes I describe mymself.

About author:
My work identifies myself in the research and in the choice of landscapes in which the presence of mankind is perceivable only through its traces and interventions. Also the most popular and tourist places take a different meaning thanks to the atmospheres without any time and space.I mainly takes my pictures in black and white because I believe the world, in which we live surrounded by colors, should be considered in its essence not forgetting to reach the heart of things.
