Sergio Pessolano

I join seriously photography in the mid-seventies when I started recording the protests of those turbulent years. Then I found my specialization in Travel Photography, mostly regarding common people in all their everyday activities. My way of photographing is strictly �neorealistic� because I believe in the supreme beauty and the nobility of the little things, which very often slips our attention, as a look or a gesture. I also use of the strenght of the color for enhancing all this. I always used analogic Nikon equipment, but in 2005 I replaced all the analogic with digital. Member of TAU Visual, the Association of Professional Photographers of Italy. Three books and many articles published. Honorable Mention in Photojournalism of International Color Awards. Nominee in Nature of Photography Masters Cup. Honorable Mention in People of Photography Masters Cup. Winner of the First Prize in Nature of the Trierenberg Supercircuit 2007.
