Con il secondo volume di questa nuova line ci troviamo immersi in questo mondo FANTASTICO. Un mondo nel quale siamo nati ma di cui, ormai, sappia-mo pochissimo.

Animali: Un mondo di colori ed emozioni, raccontato in modo INCREDIBILE dagli Autori che qui presentiamo, a cui mando un segno della mia Stima e dei miei ringraziamenti.

Animali da cortile, animali da parco, da savana. In questi volumi vi accompa-gneremo nel mondo dei nostri “coinquilini” che pazientemente vivono la loro vita, ignari delle devastazioni che noi provochiamo nel loro ambiente.

pets, animals of forest, of the savannah and more. This volumes will accom-pany you in the world of our "housemates" who patiently live their lives, una-ware of the devastation that we cause in their environment.

STEFANO RONCHICaravaggio, Italy

www.stefanoronchi.com

Born in Fara Gera d’Adda (Bergamo, Italy) in 1965, he

started devoting himself in photography when he bought

his first camera in the year 2007. He immediately payed

attention to naturalistic world and to animals in particu-

lar. Photography represents for him a way to comunicate

with the world and to express his feelings of what he

could not express in words.

9

He chose to observe animals as defenceless being’s and

most of all common animals living in his land. He has al-

ways loved their innocence and he has always admired

the elegance of their movements. He has tried to captu-

re that moment in which power joins grace, strenght jo-

ins sweetness, ingenuousness joins shrewdness. Using

his pictures, he would like to make people understand

the beauty of animals in existence and their ability to sha-

re “feelings”.

His purpose is to rejoin animals soul with human soul

through animal photography. If his pictures make hu-

man being’s closer to animals with respect and make

them discover the

wonder that is still hidden in animals, then His photo-

graphic enthusiasm will strongly achieve the reasons of

his adventure. His art, devored by patience and co-exi-

stance with the animals, is captured at unique moments

that animals are in their natural world and nothing is do-

ne to disturb them or to create situations artificially.

GIUSEPPE D'AMICOL’aquila, Italy

Mi chiamo Giuseppe DíAmico e vivo a, ItalyPer me la fotografia naturalistica rappresenta lo strumento per esercitare la voglia di avventura, di esplorazione, di conoscenza di mondi, genti e cul-ture diversi, di contatto con la natura selvaggia. In tal senso, fotografia, natura, viaggi, conoscenza di nuovi mondi e culture sono elementi che si compe-netrano e si integrano per alimentare non solo una passione ma un vero e proprio stile di vita. L'obiettivo fotografico diventa quindi l'arma con cui combattere l'abitudine e la banalità del quoti-diano di una modernità che tutto sta appiattendo, contaminando, capace di testimoniare, allo stesso tempo la bellezza e i valori spirituali di cui il crea-to è portatore.

My name is Giuseppe D'Amico and I live in L'Aqui-la, Italy

For me nature photography is the instrument for exercising the desire for adventure, exploration, knowledge of worlds, people and different cultu-res, contact with wild nature. In this sense, photo-graphy, nature, travel, knowledge of new worlds and cultures are elements that penetrate and inte-grate to power not only a passion but a real lifesty-le. The lens then becomes a weapon with which to fight the habit and banality of everyday life of a mo-dernity that everything is flattening, contamina-ting, capable of witnessing at the same time the beauty and spiritual values of which creation is the bearer.

SAMUELE MAMBELLIForlimpopoli, Italy

http://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?l=it&p=81776

I like to define myself a traveller, by my idea the best way to show the beauties of this world is to immortalize them in a photograph.Travels brought me to find out the photography magic world, I will never forget the instant when I decided to buy first reflex, a Valencia in 2010, when my compact camera didnít (reward) my fan-tasy and my willing of snapping.

https://500px.com/samuelemambelli

Travel photography is a way to get in touch with the lo-

cals and their culture, recently in my last trips in Burma,

Bali, Russia, Mauritius, Zanzibar and Tanzania I felt uni-

que emotions and most of these moments will last not

only in my heart but also in the photos I took back home.

After so many years of passion I can say that I love photo-

graphy in all its sides (aspects): portraits, travel photo-

graphy, landscapes, street.. but my biggest love is the na-

turalistic photography.

I first discovered it in 2014 in a fantastic safari in Tanza-

nia. Finding yourself in touch with the nature and ani-

mals make me feeling good and in peace with eve-

rything. As soon as the daily life allows me, I look

forward to embrace my beloved reflex to spend hours

and hours waiting for the perfect snapshot, with the

right dynamism, that could show the animal at his best

in front of my lens.

I am Samuele Mambelli, I am 27 years old, I live in Italy,

Forlimpopoli (FC)...I am not a photographer, but a photo-

graphy lover.

MAURIZIO FELICIANOLegnano, Italy

Il mio concetto di FOTOGRAFIA è … STUPIRE l’OC-CHIO.Realizzare immagini con soggetti comuni riuscen-do nell’intento di impressionare chi le osserva.Nel periodo dell’ANALOGICO ho realizzato diversi Servizi Matrimoniali, ho partecipato a vari CON-CORSI a Tema con buoni risultati. L’avvento del DI-GITALE mi ha costretto all’utilizzo del COMPUTERe alla CAMERA CHIARA. Ho tanta strada da percor-rere in tal senso ma non sono il tipo che molla fa-cilmente…quindi sono convinto di poter migliora-re. Quando fotografo…provo emozioni indescrivibi-li, e il pensiero di trasferire COLORI, SOGGETTI, SFUMATURE, MOMENTI di VITA all’interno della mia REFLEX mi rende una persona felice. GRAZIE FOTOGRAFIA….!!!

My concept of PHOTOGRAPHY ... SURPRISE EYE .Composite images with common subjects mana-ging to impress the viewer .In the period of analogue I made several Wedding Services , I took part in various competition The-me with good results . The advent of the DIGITAL forced me to use the COMPUTER and "chambre claire" . I have long way to go in this direction, but I'm not a person that let to go very easily.. so I'm sure I can improve. When I photograph.. I feel inde-scribable emotions ,and the thought of transfer-ring COLORS, SUBJECTS, TONES, MOMENT OF LI-FE within my REFLEX makes me an happy person . THANK PHOTOGRAPHY ... . !!!

DEBORA STATUTOMonza, Italy

Nata e cresciuta nella provincia di Monza e Brian-za, vivo circondata da numerosi labrador. L’amore per questi retriever ha portato alla costruzione di un allevamento e la passione per la fotografia mi ha poi indotto a condividere le sensazioni che essi mi trasmettono. In ogni scatto cerco di immortala-re l’attimo in cui, all' apice di un’azione, si eviden-zia la loro forza e potenza. Nei ritratti cerco di fer-mare l’attimo in cui manifestano quella forte espressività che li caratterizza. La fotografia vissu-ta in questo modo diventa per me un piacere e uno stimolo per migliorare tecnicamente cercan-do di suscitare emozioni.

57

Born and raised in the province of Monza and Brianza, I live surrounded by many labrador dogs. The love for these retriever led to the construction of a kennel and passion for photography has also led me to share the feelings they convery to me. In every shot I try to capture the moment when, at the height of an action, it highlights their strength and power. In portraits I try to stop the moment in which show the strong expressiveness that cha-racterizes them. The photograph lived in this way becomes a plea-sure for me and an incentive to improve technical-ly trying to arouse emotions.

Nato a Vicenza il 19 febbraio 1971 e vivo in provincia di

Vicenza.

Ho sempre avuto interesse per la fotografia fin da picco-

lo, ma la vera passione è nata all’incirca quattro anni fa

con l’acquisto della mia prima reflex digitale,una Eos

40D.

Iniziai a riprendere le scene curiose dei miei cani e da li

è nato il mio interesse sempre più crescente verso que-

sto genere di fotografia.

Strada facendo, ho conosciuto vari amici con i quali ho

iniziato a condividere questa passione e con alcuni ho

stretto amicizia, ho ricevuto preziosi aiuti e consigli e ci

si trova anche a scattare insieme!...un ringraziamento

speciale a voi di WePhoto che contribuite a dare visibilità

ai nostri lavori.

RICCARDO TREVISANIPavia, Italy

https://www.facebook.com/RiccardoTrevisaniPhoto/timeline

Riccardo Trevisani, classe 1964, nasce a Fermo (AP) e a

4 anni si trasferisce a Milano dove nell’adolescenza dise-

gna per alcune riviste e libri con dei disegni a fumetti,

poi si appassiona alla fotografia e impara i primi rudi-

menti con una pentax k1000.

Vive ora in provincia di Pavia, ha sempre amato la natura

e il mondo animale e da circa due anni si è appassionato

alla fotografia naturalistica e allo studio del comporta-

mento dell’avifauna selvatica presente nella sua zona.

Da sempre è affascinato dal mondo animale.

I suoi scatti sono il frutto di un’attenta osservazione del

soggetto da ritrarre, costantemente, quasi giornalmen-

te, si reca nelle campagne e boschi della sua zona.

La natura e i suoi colori fanno parte della sua vita e del

suo essere e nele sue foto cerca di comunicare al mon-

do l’esistenza di essa, spesso dimenticata per il nostro

frenetico modo di vivere.

Riccardo Trevisani was born in Fermo (AP) in 1964. At

the age of four he moves to Milano where, during adole-

scence, he draws for magazines and comics books, and

later he gets passionate about photography, taking his

first steps with an old Pentax k1000. Currently he lives

near Pavia; he has always loved nature and particularly

animals, indeed over the last two years he’s grown fond

of natural photography and he studies passionately the

behavior of the wild birds present in his area.

His photo shoots are the results of a careful observation

of the subjects, and

he goes out in the woods nearby almost every day. Natu-

re and its colors are part of his life, and with his camera

he tries to communicate it to the world, since people for-

get too often about it, being so busy with their frenetic

lives.

Riccardo thinks that the hardest part of being a natural

photographer is to be original, and he always works hard

to succeed (at this).
