Welcome...and thank you for having a look to my photographs.
My name is Riccardo, I live in Padua and I was just a little boy when my father let me use his reflex, a Pentax MX, teaching me the technical basis of photography. Since then something remained in my heart, something that woke up in 2006 and pushed me to take up my passion for travels and Nature, with the hope to be able to share, by my pictures, the deep and genuine emotions experienced in front of the countless beauties of Nature itself, under every aspect. This website is just a way to share something that makes me feel fine. In these a lot of people helped me in my technical and artistical growth: I want here to remember and thank especially two friends, Alessandro Bellon and Vitantonio Dell'Orto, for the time they kindly dedicate to me and their competent advices. A special thank also to Giulia (and Walter!): reading Vanity Fair she's able to endure beside me long and boring waits. I hope you will enjoy your navigation...
