I am not a professional photographer, but I've been taking photos since I can remember and I always enjoyed it a lot. My father has also been a hobbyist photographer for the past 30+ years, although way, way more skilled than me, and he taught me a few tricks along the way, even though I am more of a learn-by-doing and trial-and-error kind of person. I think that's rather eviden from the evolution in my gallery, which I'm kind of proud of, if I may say that :)
I hope you will enjoy my photographs and I'd be very happy to receive any kind of comment or critique; I think they are important to grow artistically and to improve the way a person relates to his own works, thus dealing with their negative aspects too.
On a side note, I also enjoy writing, mostly fan fictions, fantasy and noir/thrillers :)

Van Gogh, 'cause hey, I'm an original person. On par with him there's Caravaggio (and that's why I think I like excessive chiaroscuro in my photos)
