About the Book
The U.S. national parks and cities like Las Vegas, San Diego and Los Angeles are ideal places for landscape and street photography. I tried very hard to not take the trivial and tried and tired shots which you can readily find in tour guides. Instead, I used my very personal experience of these places to capture their essence. In particular, I am referring to the photograph taken in Las Vergas with the surprised faces of passers-by. I am also referring to those photographs I took in Death Valley with its furnace-hot wind: how do you reproduce hot wind in a photograph? For that purpose, I used the expressions of my fellow travellers as they got out of the air-conditioned cars into the torrid desert temperature.
All photographs were shot with a Fujifilm X100s, an f/23 mm fixed-lens camera, which equals to about f/35mm on 35mm format camera. This equipment allowed me to travel light while still taking quality images, and I was thus able to focus on composition and light instead of on equipment.
About the Creator
Sono nato nel 1960 e risiedo a pochi chilometri da Pavia, ho iniziato a fotografare intorno alla metà degli anni settanta con una Instamatic, sono poi passato alle reflex fotografando principalmente in Bianco e Nero e passando tantissime ore in camera oscura a sviluppare pellicole e stampare fotografie. Fotografo con materiale Nikon, con ottiche di alta qualità ed elevata luminosità che mi permettono di far fronte a qualsiasi situazione mi sia richiesta. Appassionato di ritrattistica e "street", la curiosità e la voglia di documentare mi portano a fotografare ogni qualvolta ne ho l'occasione, ogni viaggio, cerimonia o festa del paese sono per me occasione per dare sfogo a questa passione che viene perfezionata con sessioni di postproduzione al computer.
