The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the deplorable living conditions of seniors in many countries around the globe. The weakening of family ties, the deterioration of social connections and the precariousness of front-line workers have given rise to a model of geriatric care based on marginalization, a model which has revealed its flaws and forces us to rethink old age.
Here in Cameroon, from the depths of the Central African tropical jungle, crossing the Adamawa plateau to culminate in the ascent of the remote Vokre mountains, I spent some time with small ethnic minorities who fight to preserve the culture of their ancestors, hoisting the flag that gives them the right to freedom.
The key to finding these gaps, where reality is punctured and the other dimension emerges, lies in one's state of mind. Unfortunately, there is no formula or secret to learning how to reach that parallel universe.
The gang war and drug trafficking continue to be our own global curse. Europe and the United States are the main consumers. In recent years, West Africa and New Caledonia have become part of the new drug route to send drugs to Australia and Japan.
The series is about experiencing scenes or objects from daily life in a transcendental way and juxtaposing them in tableaus that rise above their literal context to communicate the mystery and magic I see in the world, with its discord, harmony or the confluence of both.
It was a Wednesday at the beginning of March when it happened. The day was a cloudless one and the sky was an unreal, harsh blue. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground which reflected the sun brilliantly. I remember blinking. And then I remember us terminating our baby.
In the course of my travels, I happened upon landscapes that had a mysterious power. Their contemplation mobilized my imagination and provoked an emotional reaction that went beyond the appreciation of their beauty.
What could be more banal around the age of 50 than trying to understand what is essential to our existence and taking a step back from the race we are leading within our society, and try to put this last stage of our existence into perspective.

What does the issue of flight and equal rights have to do with a tomato crate? How do you reconcile drops of water with exclusion? Can the ease of children playing on the beach be a call for the future? Can not every moment influence or change our lives.
«It’s not that she’s mean, but good and bad are the same to her.» This sentence of Jean Giono about the Durance is at the origin of this book. These are not illustrations, but rather a treasure hunt operating by association of ideas where each image is related to a sentence by Jean Giono
In my travel to South Sudan I spent three days in Tochmanga, a Mundari cattle camp not far from Juba, the capital. When we arrived, my reaction was sort of disappointment: the camp was practically empty, there were only children and some adults.
The Chinese community settled in Havana's Chinatown was, at the beginning of the last century, one of the most densely populated Chinese communities outside of China.

How many years spent in this city. By now I know her well: years of work for Caffè Florian and its vernissages; the oldest historic café in the world, opened in 1720, in the years of maximum splendor of the Venice carnival…
Words are not inherently suitable to embrace any even blurred concept of time, and beside all speech being made nowadays around the sense of family, its true nature belongs to the undetectable trace we leave through centuries, and to our relationship with time itself.

A heavy life crushes. A light life is unbearable. This body of work reflects the dark side of desire in relation to the search for lightness. Without desire and overcoming obstacles, life becomes meaningless.

This project of mine IS NOT a wildlife project but a PORTRAIT FINE ART project to capture the personality of the bird and the spirit that animates them through poses and looks, through the eyes, the most important organ for these birds.
My style is closely related (to) but not limited to fine art photography. About my personal style, I wouldn't say it has a specific description. I'm in a phase where I'm experimenting quite a bit so it's a "process in progress."
Lake Turkana is found in the Kenyan Rift Valley, in northern Kenya, with its far northern end crossing into Ethiopia. It is the world’s largest permanent desert lake and the world’s largest alkaline lake.

I understand landscape photography as an exploration of an unknown space beyond my intimate and civilized experience. On the border of the city, modernity, technology and progress.
Dementia runs in my family. My grandmother was demented, and now my mother is too. Only recently we had to finally move her to a care home. To watch her brain slowly deteriorate over the last decade has been heartbreaking and confusing.
The name “Invisible Man” comes from the photo with the same name, the BW street photo in which there are some kids on a pedestrian bridge and somewhere in the frame is an old man that is not present in the reflection (I used some of the basic physics tricks). Hence, it came to my mind the idea of sole people – even though we are in a group we still can be alone.

The project titled What You Do Not See, Unordinary tells the story of the City of Turin, my city, seen through the eyes of passersby.
All photographs have been captured with a long exposure technique; in other words, I mixed then history of the city with my own history, my life experience. In fact, after five years spent fighting a disease, my artistic purpose is primarily that of representing the all too familiar feeling when, as a young man wandering through the city, one feels invisible, and yet still he is thoroughly involved in its daily frenzy.
I like to think of my Great Uncle Moszek hovering somewhere between floors 8 and 12 of Nalewki Street 9 in the Warsaw ghetto. It is a safe place, this imagined placement of his body. Down below the streets of the ghetto are not safe. A German soldier has been killed and revenge is about to be sought. Boots are heard on the ground, moving ever closer to number 9.
Andrea is a woman. In a man's body. This is the definition of h*self that everyone has when it has to do with him. This description, however, doesn't tell what exactly Andrea is. This description doesn't tell anything about strength, anything about the pride, doesn't tell anything about the road h* traveled to be here now.
