about
Francesco Soliani
utopian / asymmetrical / contradictory / astigmatic
I was born in 1967, I live and work in the hinterland of Venice (Italy).
Founder and president (for four years) of the photoclub Effemme / fotoamatori mestrini (2010-2018).
This is my personal photoblog started in August 2005.
Shots can be recent or old, selected among my photos and slides collected during my life.
First of all, for me, photo means emotion: every shot is a particular blend among its message, its subject and technique.
I don't know if I'm a good photographer, however this photoblog is a spur to force myself watching reality
with new glance, trying to be more creative and less banal. I hope you like at least some my shots. If
it's so - or otherwise too - I'll appreciate to read your opinions in the comments.

my equipment
I started to take shots when I was a teenager with my father's Nikon F3HP. My first camera, bought with my first salary, was a Nikon FM2 which is still in my bag. I changed many
cameras (film or digital type) and many lenses during my life. Currently I use Nikon, Fuji and Leica equipments.
All my shots are processed using a monitor calibrated with Datacolor Spyder3pro.
To ensure the correct brightness gamma you should adjust your monitor to see clearly all
the blocks below, especially the darker and the lighter ones.
This photoblog works thanks to Pixelpost with a theme by Kevin Crafts hardly self-rewritten.
