The Sun

Based on known tecnique, I Shoot on large format cameras (from 4x5 up to 16x20 inches), using vintage silver gelatin photographic papers on my film holders.
I make long exposure, from seconds to many hours.
The light intensified by lens at maximum aperture burns the emulsion; dissolves what is not relevant and leaves room only for the essence of the image.
The indelible colored traces and cuts leaved by sun on paper remind us how powerful as well as unrivaled the nature is.
