I’ve been taking pictures since I was 13 years old when I bought my first reflex, a Yashica FX-3 with 3 prime lenses and a tripod.

I’ve never attended a proper photography course since then, I’ve been studying books and magazines. A year ago I decided to join IOP to get the Professional Diploma in Photography – I’m waiting for the result of my final assignment … fingers crossed.

My preferred genres are Landscape, Night Photography and B&W. I like Street Photography as well, so I enrolled also in the specific IOP course dedicated to this genre.
