Gold Medal Winning
at PX3 Prix de la photographie de Paris
Massimiliano Mona was born in Castellammare di Stabia on 07 10 1979.
He approached photography at the age of 25, starting to photograph his first daughter between school performances and Sunday walks.
Photography kidnaps him immediately and although the first results are certainly not masterpieces, he works to be able to study the basics of photography by himself.
