In 2016 I visited a photo exhibition of Francesca Salice – some images are available on YouTube.
I was so impressed by the quality of the matte print that I started considering the opportunity to start my photography adventure, after more than 30 years in the software industry….
A couple of months later I was still so motivated that I bought a digital camera, a Sony a6000 with a 16-70 zoom and start to take photos again.
At the end of 2016 we moved to Spain where I started a course about how to use flashes and get some bases about night photography, portrait, nude.

After about 15 months we decided to move back to Italy as it was too hot there with temperatures at 28º~30ºC already at the end of March and going up to more than 40º~45º in summer time.
I remember a shooting on the beach, in bikini, at the beginning of November!
