LIGHT AND SHADOWS...in my perspective, this is the essence of photography.

Then they see the forms and, finally, the sensations and emotions.

When I began this journey, which led me to studios and the search for new aesthetic lines within the universe of photography, an old passion of more than 30 years, I had one main objective: to explore the universe of light and shadow, and its impact on forms and spaces.

The use of the female nude as the preferred "vehicle" for this experimentation presented itself, from the beginning, as a possible alternative, considering the enormous potential of the theme and the complexity of the challenge: photographing the nude through an unconventional approach.

Thus, in the context of this "process," the photographic act did not focus on the nude body; that was not the object of the exercise; rather, through the use of the triad "light/shadow/form," I intended to record the beauty, elegance, and sensuality of the "dune-like" forms of a woman's body.
