Night Photography 1st place winner

I love astrophotography. Every time I am in a location or see a place, I imagine what it could be in nighttime. I love to catch the milkyway and how it can transform a landscape in something from another world. I especially love to play with location that can be misleading if you see them at night, like strange rock formations. The first two pictures are from my mountains the Grigna, were pretty difficult to make because of the high light pollution, but are subjects really new and unseen. My other love is Lavaredo, that I shooted both from the Pass and from a cave, where I spent 3 night waiting for a clear sky. Last picture is from Val D'Orcia in Tuscany, a famous place that I used for his dark sky, trying to do something new thanks to some fireflies that I had on the second attempt in the spot.

I'm Stefano Pellegrini. I'm an Italian Designer, so the art and creativity were already in my job. But, I like to perform it also in my passion - photography. I like travelling and discovering new places, but always with the objective to take pictures.⁠

My aim is to translate what the eyes see and often the camera can't. Using long-expo and combining different exposures, only to reproduce reality in all its art, without fictions and replacement.⁠

I love Astrophotography, my favorite and best pictures are the one made by-night trying to obtain the best both from the foreground both from the sky. I like both cityscapes and play with cars, light-trails, both Landscapes especially mountains and Dolomites.⁠
