The Verzasca dam, Switzerland, is 220 metres high by 380 metres in length. It was built between 1960 and 1965. The reservoir feeds a three-turbine hydroelectric power station, which generates 220 GWh of energy a year. From afar it looks like every other mega structure. But from closer and different angles, someone can discover very interesting shapes and patterns. The site became famous as it was used to film the opening jump scene in the James Bond movie “GoldenEye” (1995). Since, is home to one of the world’s highest bungee jumping fixed installations.

A passionate amateur, fascinated by the power of images. Intrigued by the spontaneity of the moment, where perception and emotions combine. He believes in perpetual learning and self development.
