Photography is therapeutic.

It helps to think, to evolve, to stimulate ourselves.
It helps to take your time, slowly.

If we use our eyes thinking about the next shot we experience the world in a different way, we become an integral part of it, we perceive it with other senses.

Photography involves sensory implications, cultural and makes us essential and complex at the same time towards reality.

Many people think street photography as simple snapshots of random people in the street.
But street photography is not as random as it might appear at first sight.
A street photographer is first and foremost a great observer.

Attention should be paid to several details simultaneously that could somehow influence the final result: light, shape, colors and shades of objects and people in front of the lens.
That said, your imagination and awareness doing the rest...of course!

When I'm wandering around I really like to relax by taking some photos of the natural environment seeking more items to enclose in the same frame and trying to get cute results from an aesthetic point of view.

In this sense, a walk to the sea-side offers several ideas, the important thing is to have a bit of ...observing curiosity!

Start this 2015 posting a photo of a recent photographic trip with friends.  

I think it fully represents the beginning of a new adventure in this brand new 2015.

Happy New Year to all my followers! :-)

As 2014 is coming to an end and we look toward the new year, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season!

I shall do so in the universal language of... JPEGs!


See you in 2015!

Panoramic pictures always fascinate me. It is a wonderful gift from the digital era and you can find software that makes the stiching process very easy. Or, if you prefer, you can use the built-in function in your iPhone.
I love taking panoramic pictures because of the details, the sense of vastness and the wide perspective that gives out especially when you have a breathtaking landscape.

With all other subjects, can be also a different way to present a classic postcard shot into an...extended one! :-)
