Every time I need to do some paperwork, clerks get confused/intrigued by something…

My ID is green (instead of brown as it normally is in Italy when not electronic, with exception of South Tyrol) and bilingual. While I live in Trentino (few km south, non bilingual), my birth place is Gorizia, a small town in Friuli Venezia Giulia, yet another region in the north-east (where you can find amazing dolomitic-like peaks too, as well as the sea , hear hear! AKA please consider visiting/eloping there and bringing me with you). I speak English and German fluently (I briefly lived both in the USA and in Germany) but Italian is my mother tongue. I guess this might be confusing for some, but I’ve always thought it’s a good thing to mix things up, cause life comes in a range of colours of its own. For example: I’m a wife and a mother, but I never thought about becoming these two specific things until meeting Pietro, my husband.

My ambition was to have a wild life, working part-time as a pharmacist (yep, I am-was- one!) and travelling/skiing for the remainder of my time. Yet here I am, juggling a family and solopreneuring in a home I own. It is very WILD, only in ways I never imagined before they happened.
….ok, truth be told, I still ski every spare minute I have, when not pregnant or healing from torn ligaments. My husband always complains that I look at my skis with heart shaped eyes more than him, lol.

I really love to observe nature and people, even though as an introvert, the latter took some time for me to figure out. I like to think I really had to dig deep into myself, before being able to empathize with others. This leads to how I like to photograph people: I really try to see between the lines. Who are you? Truly? In your wholeness? We are all A LOT of things, yet we are ONE.

Analog photography was how I learned photography in the first place, when my dad handed me the camera that I used for my entire childhood to document our life. After I went full time as a photographer, it took some time, but I inevitably ended up going back to film, which is fundamental in my artistic vision and flow. There are a lot of things I love about film, but probably the most important thing is that it slows me down, it grounds me to a solid base, making me really observe rather than just quickly look and click the away at the shutter button.

….at this point I’ve told you a few things about me, now I’m curious: who are YOU?
