When I arrived at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon I was struck by the serene scene of iceberg-strewn waters of the lagoon. Every day, hundreds of boats take tourists around iceberg-studded waters to witness a treasure vanish. Despite its beauty, the scene of the melting ice glacier of the Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest ice cap is a dramatic and poignant result of a 'warming' world. I think it is important to show the fragile beauty of our planet: through the scenery of melting glaciers, I would like to awaken those emotions that scientific reports and data are probably still unable to produce.
I am a self-taught photographer. After graduating in Foreign languages I moved to France where I lived for 6 years, between Paris and Nice. My relationship with photography started when I discovered Edward Weston, Lucien Clergue, Mimmo Jodice, Imogen Cunningham and many other masters whose works had a strong influence on my vision. Much of my work focuses on the language of nature and on my relationship with urban space. Shadows and lights are a means to shape my reality: photography is an inner journey, dealing with emotions where outer space gives voice to my inner 'gaze'.
