About alberto-tini

I am a person who started a bit late to travel and photography. However, it's never late enough if you do something for the better.

I am aware that I cannot change this world, but at least I will try it. "Why not?" is my leitmotif. Travelling is the most of my life, and I cannot live without travelling. I am a person with very little so talk and a lot to listen to what other have to say. If I learn something that improves my life, I apply it, and I try to show others the benefits of changing something.

Photography is a powerful tool, and despite nowadays there is plenty of software which is used to manipulate the results, as a romantic person I believe that photography must be natural, and that only the previous knowledge of the person taking the photo (composition, angles, flash, etc) shows the reality and the real photographer. Myself, I admit that I have no idea in any photo software, and I'll never be interested in learning them.

I have many sources of inspiration, some of them contradictory: people (especially their eyes), wildlife, nature, traditions, food, activities, feelings, and so on. I like contrasts, I like to be in the middle of the biggest party and then in the middle of nowhere totally alone. Silence expresses many more things than some people might believe. Every act, every step, every thing I see shows something, and if that means something for me, I take (if possible) a picture of it.

I'm a person who is not always interested in the common stuff, and when showing photos to others, I try to select local music, to explain what is behind the photo, the whole of my trip and why I decided to take that photo and to show it to my audience (whichever it is a person or a million).

One of my dreams is ot be a photojournalist, but situation is hard, and I'm aware that there are million of people with the same goal than me. However, if you want it, you can do it, and in any case, it's always worth trying.

I would like to know more about photography, but by the time being I'm self learning with magazines, internet, and advices from people. Little by little I'm improving the way I take photos, and I'm always thinking how to improve the pictures I took in the past. To have the chance of learning with expert people and with a scholarchip is simply amazing, an great boost to my desires to improve my photographies, and to make them even more full of stories to tell others. It will help me to make less photos, but with more quality.

Constant learning, contant improvement, constant development. I always apply it to travelling and photography, two of my passions, and to combine them.
