I take pictures because it makes me feel good.
I like portraits: I love interacting with people and observing them through the lens, discovering aspects I never noticed before and being surprised on how this changes the way I see them, things and myself.
And when all this comes out of a picture, well, it is a good day...

If you are interested in purchasing the book of my exhibition of Laos and Myanmar you can find it here
BOOK

P.S. small note on faves/comments/contacts on nudes: I do appreciate interaction with people and I think I am quite openminded.
However I will not accept my pictures to end up in "hot chicks/porn collections"
Thanks for understanding

    "Mi piace piu di quanto dovrebbe piacere un imagine. Quando vedo questo tipo di cose (arte), mi chiedo sempre dove la vita vera, s'è è qui, dietro della machina fotografica, danvanti o nel riflesso che c'è tra gli elementi !

    When you enter this stream, you just wonder why you like it more than you should. When you see this type of things called art and especialy his, you just wonder where is the real life : behind the camera or in front of it, or maybe in the reflection that there is in the middle of the world, like words, like meaning with no words.

    Long Life to Zamario !"

    Pasquale Maria Salerno says:

    "Mario has one of the most precious gifts: he's able to put people's energy, feelings, intimacy in his photographs.
    An eye trained to observe, to interact, to understand. And to respect.
    He shoots mainly with his brain and with his heart.
    That's what photography is all about. That's how not only a photographer, but a also a human being, should be."
