Andrea Izzotti

Andrea Izzotti is an italian photographer born in 1968. He works and live in Genoa, passioned of travels and nature he has visited some among the most remote places of the planet, always searching "fragments of reality" to capture. Its photo is, therefore, often the result of sudden intuition: little preparation and instant realization. "The nature is the best and the humblest artist, it’s up to us to try to pick up the endless differences of its proposals."
