I am a free spirit, with an uncontrollable need to capture emotions, with adrenaline creative urges me every minute. To satisfy this need I have found primary energy in the music (I play and compose), painting (I have made several solo exhibitions and book illustrations), and photography. I am a graduate in economics and a master's degree in banking and finance, but that's only the serious giuseppe, but here we speak of "maio", that pays attention to every detail, every gesture, every sound, and that keeps every moment as a treasure, and that chose photography as meditation. I was lucky to have parents that passed me the passion and desire to know the world, and the sensitivity to read the valuable messages. I was fascinated when I was 9 years old when my father showed me, with a projector Video8, his movies in Polynesia, China, Japan made in the yars '50s. My mother was born in Poland and she passed me the importance of speaking more language as possible, so I learned English, French, Polish and Spanish, which helped me in my job and also has helped me in my travels around the world. When I take a picture I do it for myself to fulfill my creative needs and for the desire to communicate, to share with whoever is available and has the sensitivity to share not only an image but an emotion, and this is my intent beyond the mere aesthetic fact.
I'm not a photographer for job, I travel to feel, to discover and fascinate about people, places and situations distant from my everyday life. As a child I travelled all around Europe, with its history, its museums (tens of times I visited the Louvre and I admired the Impressionists first Jeu de Paume and then at the Musée d'Orsay), its cathedrals, I lived and worked in London. Now I look for what remains of nature, the spontaneity of the people not yet "fully" flattened and shaped by consumerism, so my favorite destinations are Africa from Kenya down, (I visited Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia , South Africa, Madagascar), South America and Asia, places away from the westernized cities you still can find if you have eyes to do it, imprints of the past. I love photographing people, glances, gestures, communicating moods, situations, describing lives, relationships, friendships. I like to photograph animals in Africa, breathing the smell sour, bitter and primordial of the African savannah, imagining that the earth since its inception has always been so.
With the photograph was not love at first sight, my first love was painting, and I still have today the imprint of the painters artist's image composition. The first photos that impressed and excited me in adolescence were two shots of Doisneau, that I bought at the Banque de l'Image in Paris, depicting "the kiss at the Hotel de Ville (Paris)", the one and the 'other pupils of an elementary school sitting behind desks intent on solving a task, I was astonished by the way the artist had caught the dreamy expression of a pupil, a way that still makes me shudder when I look at it.
