HUGS. The Tree Calling (2013 in progress)


I have always loved Trees. I try to convey their poetry. I don't photograph to show how beautiful they are. I search for trees in the world by which I feel called and use photography as a means to fix the unique and unrepeatable emotions of our encounter. With my photos I attempt to express positive thoughts through overlapping shots that are often almost unwatchable individually but yet find a meaning in their union. The result is dreamlike images that invite the viewers to "listen with their eyes" to the vibrations of the trees, to get lost in the foliage and feel free.

Luca Zampini, 1961, photographer since 2000, has exhibited in solo and group shows in Italy and abroad (recently solo show at Salone della Gran Guardia in Padua, Italy, (2021) and group shows at Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea in Ferrara and Paratissima Circus/Torino (2022). He has won awards in national and international competitions including the EFIAP/Excellence Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique in 2016. His fine art prints from the series ""HUGS. The Tree Calling" are now in private collections in Italy, France, Spain, Holland, England, Eastern Europe and published in contemporary art and photography magazines and catalogs.
