AUTHOR: Matteo Busetto (Italy)

I'm a medical doctor working in the Italian Emergency Medical Service. I discovered photography only in the last year but I dedicated myself to it with great passion, by studying, attending courses and doing a lot of practice. First of all I would like to use photography to document through images how my work is done in Italy and in the rest of the world, for example in the most hostile environments. Moreover, I would like to use photography to explore a little more the world around me, even in aspects not related to healthcare: my main interests include social and cultural issues.
