There is a certain romanticism to this photograph, a sense of mystery and longing that lingers in the air. The flamingo appears as a symbol of grace, beauty, and the quiet strength of nature, a creature at once delicate and resilient.

AUTHOR: Alisia di Castri (Italy)

Hi, my name is Alisia and I am a self-taught photographer based in Milan Italy, who specializes in black and white photography, floral photography, and art photography. I have a passion for capturing the beauty and essence of nature through my lens, and I believe that black and white photography allows for a certain timelessness and simplicity that truly highlights the subject matter.

I first picked up a camera as a hobby, but quickly fell in love with the creative possibilities and the ability to share my perspective with others. I have spent countless hours learning about the technical aspects of photography and experimenting with different techniques and styles to develop my own unique approach.

My favorite subjects to photograph are flowers, which I find to be endlessly fascinating and beautiful. I love to capture their intricate details and textures, and I am always on the lookout for the perfect composition and lighting to showcase their natural beauty.

I also enjoy photographing art, whether it's a painting, sculpture, or other form of creative expression. I believe that photography can be a powerful medium for documenting and sharing art, and I enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of a piece in a single image.

Overall, photography is not just a hobby or a career for me – it's a way of life. I am constantly inspired by the world around me and I strive to capture that inspiration in my work. I hope that my photographs bring joy and inspiration to others as well.
