ALESSANDRO CARBONI

Nature Photographer

I was born in Sardinia in 1971, the land where I grew up and where I still live.

I took my first steps in the darkroom in the early 90s, but I started to focus my attention on the landscape in 2009. Graduated in economics, but always with an eye to the nature of my wild and fascinating island, I escape from most of urbanized areas in search of pristine places. Through the sensitivity of my images I have managed to capture or even reveal the beauty of the area that I have chosen to observe and discover every time.

Today more than ever, our planet is in danger: with my photos I aim to raise public awareness on this topic. I firmly believe that caring for and safeguarding the environment begins with the appreciation of its beauty and the ability to look at the landscape with different eyes.

Actually my most important project is "WildSardinia": the story of a team of four international photographers who want to film Sardinia in images and videos, describing the landscapes, the seasons and the lights of this exceptional island.
