Into the Sun

Photo taken during a photographic journey in the splendid Cappadocia. The hot air balloon flight is one of the most characteristic attractions of that region of Turkey.

Just after dawn it is a very suggestive sight.

I have always been fascinated by nature and travel, since I was a child.
I was born in a country in southern Italy and immediately felt the need to escape to discover new places.
My passion for photography seems to be born suddenly, but, in reality, it matures through small youth experiences which, gradually, become more and more clear.
The predilection to interpret the landscape on a wide scale represents a way to enter nature in an inclusive, reciprocal way,
as if the landscape were a mirror of the soul for the photographer,
and the photographer an inalienable part of the landscape.
