Thanks to him and my curiosity, I turned my passion into a profession.<\/p>\n

I learned the printing process by working in a photo development and printing lab, then worked extensively on still life photography in a specialized studio. After this experience I began my career as a street reporter, specializing in local news and working mainly for the newspaper \u201cIl Gazzettino.\u201d Since I felt I wanted to expand my horizons, I decided to turn to international news agencies, and since 2003 I have been working with Reuters<\/u><\/strong><\/a> and other international agencies.<\/p>\n

In addition to my career as a photojournalist, I enjoy taking portraits, documenting cultural and private events such as art openings, film premieres, opera and ballet, conferences, celebrities, weddings, and all kinds of celebrations of life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1441897528036{padding-bottom: 130px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”MY SKILLS” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22px|text_align:left|line_height:1em” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1710062698661{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Alice wondered a little at this, but she was too much in awe of the Queen to disbelieve it.<\/p>\n
