Greetings and thanks for visiting!

I am not a professional photographer, I just really like what I do, I pursue precision, I love a sophisticated technique and I follow these words by Marcel Proust:

- "The real journey of the discoveries is not to seek new landscapes, but to have new eyes".

I am a macro photography photographer because a macro is an immersion in nature, in the little-known universe of small forms of life that I can practice at any time of the day and anywhere. I love the details that macro photography reveals, always surprising in shape and colour.

I was born in 1946 and started shooting in 1958 when my grandfather gave me an Agfa Synchro Box. Since then, photography has been very important in my life.

In the late 1960s, I bought a Nikon F Photomic FTN, a Nikkormat FTN and 3 lenses. They were my first steps in the 35mm world. In 1972 I did several months of training in photojournalism and laboratory with the excellent photographers from Editora Bloch to enable me to photograph and record aircraft landings and takeoffs on aircraft carrier.

Since 1958 I have used Agfa, Yashica, Olympus, Nikon, Sony, Canon and Fujifilm cameras.

I stopped shooting with film around 1999. For a few years, I practised digital photography with full-frame cameras. I currently use only APS-C digital cameras, such as the Canon 80D with Canon MP-E 65mm, Canon 100mm and 150mm Sigma lenses. For other styles of photography, I use Fujifilm Series X, Fujinon lenses and some Canon lenses through adapters.

My everyday camera is Fujifilm X100F. An amazing photographic tool!

I always shoot in RAW. My favourite software tools are Capture One Pro, Exposure X, Helicon Focus, Photomatix Pro, Blow Up 3 and Photoshop Express.
