Mountains Landscapes photography

I am an Italian Landscape Photographer, based in Milan. One of my favorite subject are the Mountains, especially Dolomites. I like to make long hikes with the main goal of framing the incredible views. Here a collection of some of the amazing locations I had the opportunity to witness...
My Mission is to translate what the eyes see and often the camera can't. Using stacking and combining different exposures, only to reproduce reality in all its art, without fictions and replacements.
My favourite shoots are the night ones: I love astrophotography and shooting dark skies. My second love is distorting time thanks to what I call "superlong-exposure" of several minutes or hours. Here you can find a small selection of photos I think best describe my style, but you can see a more complete collection on My Website.
I love pre-production: planning the final picture before shoting, something really needed if you want to make complex pictures. I usually take multiple shoot for a single subject and superimpose them in post, to obtain one final image with more information. Below you can find what I mean, and all this techniques in action.
When I'm on location, I already see the final photo with my eyes, and I already see the different shots and steps I need to get it. This takes a lot of effort and a lot of time, but it's time that doesn't bother me at all. Being alone, in the mountains, in the dark, in silence; just me the camera, the mountain and the stars: it's a priceless sensation for me.
I always try to tell something with my pictures: not just represent a mountain, but tell a story.  I usually shoot the scenes with vertical panoramas, because I always want to frame more than what I can see in a single shot. On top of that I also made some lightpainting (usually a lot of times to merge it perfectly in the vertorama pieces). For this reason my final shoot is usually made of a lot of pieces, made with great care and precision (like without moving the tripod to merge them perfectly), but I like the challenge!
