GIANCARLO DE LUCA – Italian Image Philosophy
I am 49 years old, and my passion for photography knows no boundaries.
I live constantly interpreting the world through my images, because only through photography can I truly savor the world…
The most important gift my father gave me when I was a child was an old 1960s Kodak Retinette, with which he began to teach me the first rudiments of what would later become my greatest passion: photography. From that moment on, my gaze became that of my lens.
The advent of digital technology, after a long and youthful experience with analogue photography, did not frighten me at all. On the contrary, it opened up an exciting world in constant innovation, allowing me to be not only the author, but also the artist and painter of my own images.
Particularly oriented towards nature, landscape and macro photography, my great and boundless passion for Naples has led me, over the last decade, to turn towards social street photography, in an attempt to freeze moments, every little glimpse, even the most insignificant, increasingly convinced that the beauty of my city, Naples, and of its people is something magical, unique and, above all, unchanged and timeless.
I firmly believe that the responsibility of a Photographer today must be to freeze the present, search for the past in the present and preserve it in order to donate it to future generations.
