Hi, my name's Damiano and I live in Imola, where I was born in 1972.
When I was on the verge of being 30, photography entered my life kicking down the front door and becoming my calling. I started my career by working with other photographers, then I studied the subject on my own through books and exhibitions. My passion grew bigger and bigger, and now photography is my job, and I love it.
