Ritratto per profilo

I’m Italian, living in Genoa where I was born in 1945.
I’m a retired manager.
I’m from a long time a fan of photography, hobby that I have exercised with intensity in the years from 1963 to 1973 in special way during my membership to the "Gruppo Fotografico Genovese” .
You can see some of my works of that period in this sets of my photostream :

Music from darkness # 13. ............. .Pontedecimo - Giovi
“Music from darkness” click here..........................“My old works” click here
Rugby - 8
“An old rugby match” click here

From 1973, due to the professional engagements, my collector activity has been limited to the occasions offered from the summer vacation and some short travels.
From 2005, having the free time deriving from the retirement, I have resumed with enthusiasm and greater engagement to realize images being taken advantage of the passion for the photography that I think can really represent a shape of expressive art and not a simple technical process.
From 2003 I use digital equipments and the modern systems of electronic elaboration.
I love the colour. I have used the black and white when the colour was poor.
I do not try nostalgia for the black and white that today I consider a manipulation.

    "Quello che fa la differenza tra un fotografo qualsiasi ed uno di successo è l`anima che esprime emozione...Di fatto vedere il mondo attraverso la camera richiede sensibilità artistica, il gusto per il bello, senso d`armonia,saper giocare con la luce e l`ombra, vibrare con il colore...Tutto questo è espresso con maestria nelle composizioni di Carlo Natale; spesso quando osservo i suoi quadri mi
    sento in sintonia con il suo universo, mi inebrio con i suoi riflessi, viaggio in luoghi misteriosi, dentro i quali vivo forti emozioni, solo cliccando la sua pagina. È una grande gioia averlo conosciuto in Flickr e costatare come è possibile comunicare profondamente attraverso il linguaggio della fotografia.
    "Grazie, Carlo per essermi amico!

    What makes the difference between a standard photographer and a successful one is a soul that expresses emotion. Seeing the world through the camera lens requires artistic sensibility, a taste for beauty, a sense of harmony, knowing how to play with light and shadow, make colors come alive. All of this is expressed in Carlo Natale's compositions. When I look at his pictures I feel in touch with his universe, I am thrilled by his reflexes, I travel through mysterious places in which I live strong emotions, when I click on his page. It is a great joy to have found him in Flickr and to know how one can communicate through the language of photography. Thank you Carlo, for being my friend!"
