Nikon F2 / Fuji Pro


Interested in photography and motion film I attended a course at National School of Cinema in Rome with cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno but, after that I reversed all my interest in still photography.

With digital era coming I have started to produce digital images for majority of commercials but, at the same time I continue to keep alive my film passion and technique for my personal work.

Interested in people and social photography at -360 degrees- !

The project "Breathe" began as a protest against todays digital image consumption. 
I have chosen a process and a technique that demands time and patience, which leads  to another consciousness, both in my work and about myself.  
My focus is on the human.  The slow changes of a face in front of the lens are very revealing. 
The exposures used are quite long, demanding patience and understanding from the subject and from myself.
I am currently working on the book for "Breathe".

I'm using an Kodak 8x10 inch view camera from 1904 with silver gelatin paper as the negative.   The paper ISO varies, but I have found consistent results with ISO at 5 and my aperture wide open at f8.  The times range from a couple of seconds to a minute or two, depending on the light situation.  I develop the paper-negative in normal B&W paper chemistry. After that I make a contact print, which becomes the final positive.
 
There is something honest and magical what happens while using this process and the 8x10 view camera.  I think that somehow an organic connection is established.
 
I'm a 32 year old photographer from New York who has been living in Sweden for the past 8 years.  I'm doing advertisment as a day job which leaves me time and extra resources to pursue my personal photographic projects.

"Idols and Icons of the Promised Land" is a search for spaces of great intensity and resonance. These are spots that offer me spiritual insights about the connection of humans and nature.
