That evening, I searched endlessly for the right composition but found nothing—until the last warm light hit the rocks, and I noticed a face-like shape in the foreground stone. It was as if this stone "face" was gazing up at one of the Cinque Torri, like a timeless guardian. I set my camera to f/11, ISO 64 on a tripod, adjusting shutter speed for separate exposures on shadows and light, and used focus stacking to bring each detail into clarity. This image captures not only the landscape but the quiet, watchful presence I felt in that fleeting moment.

Welcome to my page! I’m excited to share my approach to fine art photography across diverse genres, including landscape, nature, macro, portrait, and abstract work, in both color and black and white. Recently, I've focused on landscapes, drawn by the connection between travel, personal growth, and the human-nature relationship. To me, landscapes tell stories—not just their own but ones that resonate with viewers' experiences, emotions, and memories. Through my images, I aim to capture these unique connections, inviting you to see a bit of your story in each scene.
