Location is a means of containing a subject within an indirect vehicle as a suggestive presence, the subject in turn can give the location a voice. I have been photographing the tanneries for several years now and with this series wanted to explore the history/spirit contained in them by presenting a staged or cinematic moment, a narrative within a conceptual context - it is the potential of the photograph, like a dream, to suspend time and transform space.

I live in Samos, Greece and was a mixed media artist, though I don't see the point since I discovered a medium format camera.
These were shot with a YashicaD and kodak160NC

Photography has become one of my passions in 2006, when a friend persuaded me to try and discover the magic of capturing images.
After a couple of months spent familiarizing with a digital camera, I entered the world of film photography, which I have never left since then.
Most of the time I shoot black and white film, and I believe the quality of good black and white film cannot be equalled even by professional digital camera.

Love urban photography and, in particular, I like observing the portrait of a city emerge from images of both its people and architecture. 
Born in Bari I now live and work in Rome, but when I lived in Naples ( where I got into photography ). I discovered that Naples' streets are a never ending theater stage, which I think I will never stop wanting to take photographs of.

The panoramic shots you see on this page have been taken using a Horizon 202 panoramic camera. I got this camera as a gift two years ago and, since then, I have been
attempting to explore ways of using it in urban and street photography. In most cases, I shoot Kodak Tri-x 400 with this camera.
