Travel photographer based in Italy

I’m Nicolò Pizzulin, I’m 21 and I live in the north of Italy, between Slovenia, Austria and the Dolomites. I practically grew up close to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, without realizing it. It wasn’t until the age of 18 that I discovered photography, almost by accident, and I was immediately enchanted. I believe passion is born at a certain moment, it is an idea, an unclear vision, almost “out of focus”. But then, almost immediately it reveals itself just like a rarefied landscape, hidden by the fog.

"A ray of sunshine makes the difference, making it clear and visible, uncovering all its beauty and complexity."
"The fog turned into the sun for me and photography has become a necessity."

 I started shooting with my phone, I photographed everything, every sunset, every flower, every animal; I started taking my first steps in photography. I needed to capture the world, I needed to find myself. I immediately understood that this is my thing, and living out of photography is a goal for me to reach. Shortly after I bought my first camera, that I used until few weeks ago. I remember I was very happy; and also focused on and obsessed with understanding how that camera worked. To understand this, I did the only thing that I think really helps: I shoot, and shoot again, never being satisfied with the result. Thinking I can always improve… whatever I do, I always try to improve myself in photography and in everyday life.

"Not being satisfied is one of the best way to grow; I would say it’s the only way to grow."
"Today, four years later, photography is still the same for me: a way to escape from everyday life and do what I really want to do."

A way to understand what life is and live it at 360°, without compromises. For some people it is difficult to understand why a person wakes up at one o’clock at night, crosses 400 km in a day only to take some pictures of a sunrise, and then return home.

I would say that they don’t understand what it feels like when the sky lightens up and the landscapes around you become alive . And you are there, alone or with some good friends, to capture the best frame. Maybe it’s a feeling only photographers can understand, a feeling that should be lived and shared with the world and can’t be explained in a book.

"We are the result of every experience we have lived, even the smallest and seemingly insignificant ones have made us who we are."

 For this reason, if I could, I would live everything again; all places, all people… Every single shot carries a story behind. Stories that I want and try to convey to people, to make them participate and think about the beauty that surrounds them. The greatest satisfaction would be being able to motivate and convince even one person to say: “wow, maybe I’ll try too”.
