Alberto Bregani

This is how Alberto Bregani describes being a mountain photographer.  Bregani grew up right in the middle of the Dolomites, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, raised in a family that lived and breathed the mountains; his father was a mountain climber, writer and film-maker who was awarded a prize at the Trento Film Festival in 1967. Although Bregani discovered photography only fairly recently, he immediately saw its potential as an expressive device. Fascinated by the power of black-and-white, which he believes can be fully expressed exclusively through film (he uses a Hasselblad and a Rolleiflex) he has immersed himself in the works of master photographers, including Adams, Sella, Weston Washburn... in the pursuit of a highly personal style. He has exhibited in a number of Italian cities, been a speaker at conferences, and written articles on the photography of Mountains. He is also a member of the Italian Mountain Writers Group, Academy of Arts (GISM). He would like one day to exhibit in the United States so that he can celebrate the majesty of Italy's Dolomites in the land of the  masters of b/w photography.
