I love photography in general, but I mostly the macro photography, above all, I enjoy preparing the environment and looking for nice insect in sight. I try to pass on my photos a small world full of bright colors of the small creatures.

For me these are the nights without sleeping, searching of the perfect processing, as the photos need to be well processed forward to achieve the desired result.

My team is composed of Nikon D90 Sigma flash and a lens, Raynox 250, it is very basic but effective.
What is your favorite accessory of photography, apart from your camera? It might sound like a joke, but my favorite tool is the flash diffuser that I’ve built, since thanks to it I get a very nice light.
