Alessandro says:
I had the privilege to visit Alaska for the first time in 2015. Since then I felt in love with its unique natural environment: Alaska became a lifetime project. Every year I try to spend time through the wilderness seeking for an intimate way to portray its beauty. This picture represents one the most intense moments I could remember during my life. It was September 2015, when after two weeks waiting I had been lucky enough to experience an amazing mix of extraordinary elements, which I will never forget: the impressive display of the autumn colours at their top and the first snow of the season.
During the following travels to Alaska I have never again seen such suggestive moments, despite the fact the opportunities were not lacking. This is the reason why I consider photography a great opportunity for all of us. Every time is a different story. Nature has always something precious to tell us, if only we would listen.
The Alaskan project has been in development since 2015 in collaboration with a colleague; months of fieldwork, careful evaluations, in-depth studies on the territory, meditation and organization have been the key to photograph and share some of the most impressive landscapes of planet Earth.
About Alessandro:
Italy
I was born in Sardinia, the land where I grew up and still live. I took my first steps in the dark room in the 90s, but I began to focus my attention on the landscape photography in 2009. Graduated in business administration, but always with an eye to the nature of my wild and fascinating island Sardinia.
I escape most urbanized areas in search for uncontaminated places. I am convinced that the development of an idea through the realization of a project, is the most powerfull way to convey my vision and my emotions. Actually my most important project is “WildSardinia”: the story of a team of 3 international photographers that want to resume Sardinia in images, telling the landscapes, the seasons and the lights of this special island.
