Negli ultimi anni il mio spirito d’avventura mi ha spinto a scoprire il fascino dell’esplorazione urbana (che prende il nome di urbex dall’unione di due termini inglesi “urban” ed “exploration”) legata a luoghi abbandonati.
Mi ritrovo a girare come un pirata in cerca non di ruderi scheletrici ma di antichi tesori nascosti d’architettura appartenuti ad epoche passate. Pirata anche nel senso dell’illegalità in quanto questi ambienti seppur abbandonati, giuridicamente, spesso sono delle proprietà private.

Still being architectural photography I follow nonetheless all the tricks in the book, like lenses used in wide-angle mode, and a focus on the perspective lines. Only for creative purposes may happen to deliberately upset these rules.
Untreated or crooked perspective lines can normally represent a kind of “poetic license” in this genre. In fact, the sense of devastation can be perfectly translated into a composition with crooked architectural lines, transmitting a sense of precariousness to the scene. But, often, my intent is to reproduce the ancient pride and elegance of the structure. Hence the choice to maintain a rigor in the frame, typical of normal interior photography and architecture.
