roberto Pestarino was born in Alessandria, Italy on November 6th, 1966. since
2004 I have lived alone with four cats and no television in the countryside
village of Gavazzana, in the Province of Alessandria. For years my interest in
photography had been grossly entrenched, if not lost, in other pursuits and
I had rejected the photographic medium. One day, while on a journey I was
perplexed by the complex beauty of a sunflower, alive, thriving in the nooks
and crannies of an abandoned field, creating its own narrative and instantly
inspiring me to purchase my first camera. Through its lens, enabling me to
capture the phenomena I saw unfold earlier in the day. soon afterwards,
my passion for photography as a conception for my art was fully awoken -
experimenting with the complex dynamics, bridging my vision and the medium,
for a full year. I was working together with other photographers, thus extending
my experience. Being the president of the photographic club, Oltregiogo sTAIRs, 2011 DIgITAL PHOTOgRAPH
photograph of Novi Ligure (AL), has provided the further substance I desired. VERTIgo, 2011 DIgITAL PHOTOgRAPH
some of the cameras which I enjoy using at present are the Olympus, sony fACE, 2013 DIgITAL PHOTOgRAPH
and Kiev 88 system cameras and medium format cameras.
