My name is Annarosa, Anna for my friends. If I check my identity card I realize I am 41 but I feel the same energy and enthusiasm as when I was 25. I've been part also of Discover Barcelona 2, Discover Sicily 2, Discover Marrakech 1 and Discover Budapest 6. My greatest passion is travelling: I always have a new destination in my mind, either seaside or big cities, I start getting excited since I am preparing my suitcase! I am fond of photography because I believe it is the most direct way to communicate my feelings and the emotions I get from the places I visit: I especially like landscapes both urban and natural, astrophotography and b/w shootings. As Giovanni Gastel said "I have always thought that Poetry and Photography have several things in common".
Hi!
I'm Lucrezia and I live in a magical place called Lake Como, in northern Italy.
I work in clothing store, but my greatest passion is, of course, photography!
Shooting nature and landscapes is what inspires me the most, but I find it quite challenging at times as all the photography knowledge I have is self-taught.
As I’d love to take a step forward, this adventure in Lisbon comes at the perfect time!I cannot wait to take part in the project, to share and enjoy new experiences and meet new friends!
My name is Gabriele, born in Udine. I have been dealing with photography for 5/6 years. Generally I like to photograph landscapes, nature but also portraits. Photography is everything for me, now I fell in love with this passion of mine. It was a clear afternoon with a beautiful sky, and I looked at the sky outside the window the more I looked at it and the more I felt that something was being born in me. So I took my cell phone and started photographing the more I photographed and the more I saw that I liked it, so my passion for photography was born. Maybe I'll never become a famous photographer, maybe I'll never become a great photographer. But if you don't even have the courage to dream, how can you expect something to happen?
