Alessio Paratore

Italian-born photographer, writer, fine artist and all-around creative, I share my time between the east London-based studio, the great British countryside, the celt lands of Galicia and my motherland at the feet of Etna volcano in Sicily. The love for travelling, the outdoors, the ocean, technology and photography were passed down by Granpa Achille; chief mechanical engineer, worldwide traveller, photography and music enthusiast. The defective curtain on Achille's old Russian reflex pushed me to experiment with my own first Nikon. The love for film is today still alive in my historical 500C Hasselblad , used for my most demanding clients and my own personal projects. My eye's favourite subjects are the wonders of nature and its elements; from rocks to water, trees and wildlife. The passion for the ocean and the great outdoors often takes me to the countryside where I search for inspiration and subjects to photograph.
