Few shots and some thoughts

Formal balance and poetic landing. A dichotomy that is constantly present in my research.

So while I observe, I always try to find something different. Even to the point of hitting myself. I have no intention of being trapped. Not under a definition. Not even within a certain stylistic brand. Aware that, in any case, I am exposed. To error, first of all. Because as much as I move, error is there to catch me, to surprise me, to find me perhaps even grateful.

And yet I feel that it is precisely in the conjunction between poetic inspiration and formalism that I touch my point, my way of justifying my presence in the world of photography. Ugo Mulas wrote: In a photograph the photographer's point of view always comes out.

And I have always tried to train this reality by bringing it to my anarchic and quite rebellious idea compared to the conception that many have of photography. I am not interested in the academic approach other than that created by my personal academy. Which is made of a lot of study but without then going to show off about it but rather having a clear, total refusal towards the official notionalism, adopting an empiricism dictated by experimentation. In which the error is salvific and sought.

The potential of my form is given by the substance. Content is king. But it is in the form of existential research and therefore communicates something that has a metaphysical value rather than being limited to reality.

Unfortunately today I often have to deal with people who elementaryize everything, and the creative act of photographing is obviously no exception. But I apply thinking with my own head to everything. I am convinced that this self-determination leads me to be misunderstood by many and appreciated by few.
