Gian

Born in Verona on 5 July 1965

I started photographing what happened to me without paying much attention to the details, then I learned to focus on what I saw... to focus on every little detail, intoxicating myself with the beauty we are surrounded by and which often escapes the distracted eye. I learned to exploit my state of mind to create photographs that evoke emotions....because what I would like is to convey a part of myself through my way of photographing. I would like my photographs to talk about me, my experience and my present. Photography is a symbiosis between technique and soul... photography is art and through it I would like to express the man I am, it is my way of communicating. I love to define myself as an urbex photographer because I am captured by the charm of the cracks, by the careless growth of the vegetation and by the carelessness of the architecture which over time bring everything back to what it was. And it is precisely there that the eye of an urbex photographer becomes curious, scrutinizes every detail, sees and intuits what others do not notice. It captures those places, which exude stories, lived emotions, pains, joys, freezing them in their extreme beauty for eternity, maintaining with extreme care the confidentiality of the place for its protection over time.
