I am a street rat photographer with a particular obsession for dark back backstreets and gritty alleys. Big cities burst with life, art and stories beyond the store fronts and famous landmarks if you only dare to walk and seek the unseen. The old walled city of Perugia in the peak of summer fires up at sunset. The cobblestones, architecture, and winding back streets create a game of golden lights and shadows irresistible to get lost into.
