Non voglio descrivere la drammaticità della condizione umana e neppure i momenti felici e le cose belle della vita, perché mi incutono tristezza. Invece, cerco ciò che è nascosto e spesso inafferrabile ed intangibile ma sempre presente intorno a noi. Cerco di tradurre in immagini le domande, curiosità e introspezioni che le persone, le situazioni e le cose suscitano in me.

Io non sono un fotografo e non mi piace essere definito come tale; fotografo è il professionista, mentre a me piace essere un semplice osservatore sensibile e non amo il troppo coinvolgimento con i soggetti o le situazioni, almeno fino ad adesso. Uso principalmente film perché mi costringe a pensare di più e mi consente di andare più a fondo. Sviluppo e stampo in casa e spesso scannerizzo direttamente i negativi, per problemi di tempo e spazio.

I will not describe the drama of the human condition and even the good times and the good things of life, because they inspire sadness in me. Instead, I seek what is hidden and often elusive and intangible but always present around us. I try to translate to images the questions, curiosities and introspection that people, situations and things arouse in me.

I am not a photographer and I don't like to be defined as one; the pro is a photographer. I like to be a simple sensitive observer and I prefer not to get involved too much, at least for now. I use mainly 35mm film because it forces me to think more and allows me to go deeper. I develop and print at home but I often scan my negatives due to lack of time and space.


I hope you enjoy my works.

    asbf48 (ANTONIO) says:

    "What is the meaning of life?. My parents told me that the smell of the street, the sun, the shade, the window, someone who looks at you rapidly. Antonio has managed to convey with his photographic sensibility all this and more of what it hides his own soul"
