For about twenty years I have been developing a research on the creative and communicative potential of photography, experimenting different techniques and means of expression.
Photography has played a more and more important role in my professional and personal life.
The aim of this theoretical research is to analyse different kind of images coming from adverts, films, old books, newspapers, but most importantly from the production of the masters of photography.
Re-reading their contents, I try to find a new photographic lexis and I build symbolic shapes, the aim of which is to make people reflect upon memory, imagination and emotion in the contemporary human being.
Photography has become my means of global learning, an alternative language which is connected to thinking and is able to tell an infinite number of stories.
Recently I’ve been experimenting several projects, realized in collaboration with clinical psychologists and their patients. These projects add value to the therapeutic power of photography, thanks to an innovative technique of phototherapy.
I’m still reflecting on the meaning of photography, wondering what it really is, without expecting to find a definitive answer. I’m convinced that it is necessary to train our eyesight to be less superficial, in order to add pathos to our view of the world. To me, photography is fundamentally this.
