Tsavo is often photographed through spectacle: sightings, iconic encounters, the pursuit of the perfect image. With this work, I chose a different direction. I wanted to explore what happens when perception slows down within such a vast and overwhelming space. Living in close contact with the landscape, sleeping in a tent, and constantly moving through the savanna gave shape to a slower and more immersive way of looking. Through black and white, the landscape becomes atmosphere, rhythm, and distance: a space experienced emotionally rather than descriptively.
I approached photography many years ago, initially to take photos during trips or special occasions. But then I felt the need to go beyond, to understand what photography truly meant. This led me to study at the Academy of Luciano Perbellini, a journey that completely transformed my approach to photography. Today, I don’t photograph just to capture a memory, but to express myself. Through images, I try to convey what words cannot say. I photograph because it makes me feel good; it’s my way to slow down, listen to myself, and observe the world around me.
