La sua passione per la fotografia nasce in gioventù molto legata ad una visone cinematografica del mondo e della realtà. La spinta principale dei suoi lavori, è la continua ricerca di una "realtà filmica" che si lega al rapporto tra spazio inteso come luogo fisico e persone. La sua ricerca per raggiungere lo scatto finale non ha preferenze ma, svariati elementi contribuiscono alla riuscita del progetto.

responsabile organizzativo dell'associazione Viaggieviaggi, in collaborazione con Aldo Mazzocchi, ha all'attivo una quarantina di viaggi/spedizioni in Africa, America Meridionale, Medio Oriente ed Estremo Oriente. Viaggi avventura? Forse, nel senso che in mountain bike ha attraversato i deserti di Wadi Rum (Giordania), Acacus (Libia), Gobi (Mongolia), Atacama (Cile), Ramlat as Sabatain (Yemen), Gran Mare di Sabbia (Egitto), la falesia Dogon in Mali o salito montagne come il Kilimanjaro, il Kala Pattar, il Rakshi Peak, la Punta Lenana in Kenya, il Toubkal in Marocco, il Tahat in Algeria, o altre più o meno affascinanti. Ma l'avventura che più lo intriga è la scoperta delle figure umane, dei mercati, delle feste, dei grandi raduni. Quindi l'uno e l'altro. La natura ma anche, o soprattutto, la gente. Cercando di avere un rapporto  non formale con le popolazioni incontrate, instaurando rapporti di collaborazione quando non di vera amicizia. In contatto con il Tibetan Children's Village di Dharamsala, fondato dal Dalai Lama, ha recentemente portato aiuti ai villaggi di McLeod Ganj e di Choglamsar, in Ladakh.

Born in Padua in 1985, Matteo left his home town in 2008 and started his adventure as a full-time backpacker. A burning desire to learn about new cultures and fuel his passion for photography led him to spend the last six years of his life between Australia, Asia and Central America: surfing and meditation helped him develop a relationship between sea and mind. An old worn-out backpack and a camera as his companions, he travels through continents, countries and cities, rides the wave and lives his adventures deep in touch with the natives and their cultures. And this makes him a real traveller, someone who can come up with a new life in every place and find his own dimension: yesterday as a tour guide discovering Vietnam, today as a cook on a boat sailing the Pacific Ocean and tomorrow as a driver of the 7milamiglialontano expedition.

Nato a Brescia nel 1980. Si avvicina alla fotografia a diciott’anni, lavorando come assistente e archiviatore presso una collezione privata. Dopo varie esperienze e un periodo all’estero (Berlino e Marsiglia) ritorna in Italia. Lavora come fotografo da quindici anni ed ha esposto in mostra nazionali ed estere. Utilizza “il mezzo espressivo” in forma “pura”, approfondendone le molteplici potenzialità linguistiche e analitiche del reale per giungere, spesso, a risultati di grande impatto visuale, in bilico tra astrazione e figura. Attualmente vive a Brescia e lavora presso lo studio INLIMBO.

Bergamasco, classe 1956, vive e lavora a Verona dal 1981. Bibliotecario, animatore culturale e giornalista (per hobby) durante gli studi universitari, dopo il servizio civile ha imboccato definitivamente la strada del giornalismo occupandosi per un decennio di America Latina e di cooperazione internazionale, lavorando con organizzazioni non governative e visitando diversi Paesi della regione. Dopo una collaborazione a Bruxelles con Alexander Langer al Parlamento Europeo, e un'esperienza di free-lance, dal 1992 lavora al quotidiano L'Arena, di cui ora è caporedattore, ma non ha mai «lasciato» l'America Latina, anche perché sposato con una porteña argentina. Gli piacciono la storia e le storie. Fa il cicloturista da oltre 40 anni e sogna di fare, prima o poi, un giro del mondo in bici passando magari da Santiago de Compostela (perché bisogna) e poi da Rio (per salutare Chico Buarque e un amico brasiliano, anch'egli apostolo delle due ruote). Intanto proverà a farne un pezzetto in jeep. Cerca in ogni circostanza di ricordarsi di Antonio Machado Caminante, no hay camino: se hace camino al andar, senza dimenticare il proverbio argentino: quién te quita lo bailado?, e chi può portarti via quello che hai ballato?

A photo_grapher for a living whose strong language is photography. That is where he best conveys both his aesthetic and emotional skills. “I take photographs – that’s job and curiosity for everything beautiful and ugly”, he says to sum up his concept of image. His search for the beautiful without avoiding the ugly often takes me to wander in the Orient on personal person-focused searches. His photographs can be found in public and private collections, among which those of MAM Rio De Janeiro, the Museum of San Marino, and the Fotokunst Museum in Denmark.

I was Born in Zevio (Verona, ITALY) on December 13. 1960 and I live in Verona. I'm a photographer, more for passion than for work. I'm doing this job since last century, precisely since October 1985, with various Societies until May 2005. Now I have my own business. I'm registered on Journalists' Bulletin Board since June 2003. In these past years I worked with various private companies, communication and photographic agencies. I ranged from fashion to still life, from company reports to exibitions, from sports photos (basket - volley - soccer - rugby) to performance photos (theather - operas in Arena di Verona - concerts). I always have the intention of providing an image that works for the ultimate using context. At the same time, however, I long to create and I'm committed to find new stimuli outside normal business: I'm trying to document and testify that in poor areas of the world, as in ASIA (Thailand, Philippines, India, China) and AFRICA (Saharawi, Mali, Burkina Faso, Kenia, Tanzania), there's a dignity that in our "world" is disappearing.
