Passion over the Thames

Yesterday a friend from Italy set the first stone in his new life, so we went out to cheer good news. After some time in a pub, we walked around London and I was absolutely astonished by the number of people publicly displaying more than simple affection. In a single evening I photographed three couples [...]

More than words

I had some troubles deciding if this was a shot to show in colors or in black and white, but in the end my love for the monochrome, for the subtle tones of gray prevailed.
I was walking on the South Bank the other day when I saw them. The world was far away, they were [...]

Photography Project…

23 days left to the Project release!
During the past weekend, before the snow that covered London, I was busy with a photographic project. It was something that haunted my mind for some nights before actually doing it, underlying some of my fears and presenting a real challenge for me. And of course those were few [...]

The Sunset on the Railing

We were walking on the bridge in front of Embankment when we saw this [...]

He was walking with some friends under a shadowy bridge. The first shot I took of him and his friends was not spectacular but it gives me the possibility to see his spectacular eyes. So I zoomed in to get them and I waited him to get under the light. He saw me, and to [...]

Sweet September

He was holding her gently in a sweet afternoon of September. They were watching the Thames from the South Bank, lost in their thoughts, in their dreams. When I saw them I moved in front of them, trying to get a good perspective, but then I realized that that perspective was not what hit me [...]

Some calls are meant to find you whether you want them or not but other, those you waited for long, never came.

She was standing there, on that bridge, unaware of all the people around her. The weather was nice, the temperature warm, but it could have [...]
