Vieni più vicino… un’esposizione personale

Vieni più vicino… è un’esposizione di trenta fine art immagini che invita gli spettatori a riconsiderare in che modo percipiscono alcune delle creature e fiori meno amati che ci circondano. Ogni immagine rivela elementi di bellazza e carattere che potrebbero normalmente mancare e che è possibile ottenere solo quando siete vicini e personali. Tutte le immagini sono state scattare nel comune di Fivizzano in Toscana – molte di esse nel mio giardino.

Come closer… a personal exposition

Come closer… is an exposition of thirty fine art photographs that invites viewers to reconsider how they perceive some of the less-loved creatures and flowers that are all around us. Each image reveals elements of beauty and character that might normally be missed and which is only achievable by getting up close and personal. All the images were taken within the borough of Fivizzano in Tuscany – many of them in my garden.
