Biography
My name is Andrea and I was born in Trieste.
I started photographing in 1974, when a family friend, professional photographer, gave me a fully automatic compact camera. I had no photographic education nor knowledge about technics, but the passion and curiosity about how to learn new techniques and the desire to improve my results inspired me to continue this hobby.
From the compact camera I switched to SLR camera, using machines on loan (a Canon A1 and Canon E1) and then finally succeeding in getting across a mine, the Pentax Z-1. With the Reflex my passion has further increased, especially for landscape and nature photography, even if I am are very attracted by portraits and by people with their emotions.
In 2001 I supported the traditional photo film camera with my first digital camera, a Kodak. I finally move to digital photography only in 2003 with a Canon EOS 300D. But of course this was just the beginning!

Equipment
In the past I used different brands of cameras, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Kodak.
The photo equipment is important although if not crucial for a good photo. The combination of quality, passion and art certainly creates the best results.
Currently use only Canon bodies with Canon objectives but also Sigma and Tamron lenses depending on conditions. I always try to have the best of what I can afford, but unfortunately the cost of equipment is always very high and often I must desist from certain desires.
About my computer equipment, I use an Intel Core 2 Quaq processor and I use exclusively LINUX operating system (Debian). My favorite Photo editing program is GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Progam. I love it. It works fine and it is FREE.

Why Arte-Photo?
Some time ago, I started to feel the need to compare with other lovers of photography in order to improve my technique and my style trying to grow and to learn more and when possible, to give my contribution with my experience. Determinant was also the desire to leave something to share with relatives, friends or simply unknown.
The photo immortalizes a moment, one moment special. Time passes, things change but the picture remains. So memories.
The photos on my web site, even if only a small part of my personal archive, represents my perspective of the world and how I see through my photography. For these reasons, in March of 2004 Arte-Photo was born.
