King Charlie

Torino, 2011

Charlie is the King, he does whatever he wants, he reigns above all of us. He's the dog of my girlfriend and he's wonderful! He was posing for me while I was taking some pictures out in the garden. He's a rare white golden retriever, he is 5 years old and he loves to play although he's actually lazy.

San Lorenzo

Piazza Castello, Torino, 2011

San Lorenzo church is in Piazza Castello in Turin. The church was dedicated to San Lorenzo after a Manuel Fililberto (House of Savoy) won in a battle on San Lorenzo's Day. The church though was already in the square Piazza Castello before. 

Rainy Day

Giardini Reali, Torino, 2011

When Turin had like a week when it only rained, I went out one of those days to take pictures (one thing I hadn't done yet). I really liked it! There are so many possibilities and so many situations to take pictures to! It was fall although it seems like snow on winter, and the floor was all covered by the leafs from the trees, so it made all more unique.

Giulia Ambrogio

Torino, Italia, 2011

Giulia was my second model on a photo shoot session. It was a rainy day and the light was poor, it was really hard to take pictures but I managed to improvise a light reflector to get the best results... this is one of my favorite pictures...

Repubblica

Piazza della Repubblica, Torino, 2011

Another one from Torino. Since I haven't been traveling lately, I'm exploring more my city. Piazza della Repubblica is a very famous square in Torino, some say is the biggest open market in Europe and I believe it's true. At the end of the day, the vendors go and leave a lot of garbage in the floor that is cleaned afterwards by the city employees.

Factory

Torino, Italia, 2011

Another one from the abandoned factory (if you haven't seen the first one, click here: Nostalgia). This place was great, I was lucky that there was a great sunlight that created this strange feeling of being in a haunted mysterious place.

I still cannot find my favorite subject to take pictures to, but I'll find out.

Morning Light

Giardini Reali, Torino, 2011

The title is light, because without light, we couldn't take pictures. Photography is all about light, and of course the absence of it. When the sun is coming out in the morning or setting in the afternoon, the light makes some wonderful colors and tones, so I would say these are the best moments to take pictures. 

Pattern

Via Lagrange, Torino, 2011

I just happen to be walking on this street and I had no idea some artists were presenting their work to the public. Torino is such a rich city!!

Mole

Giardini Reali, Torino, 2011

I had never taken pictures in autumn, since I've been into photography for not that long and my country (Venezuela) does not have the four seasons.
I went to this park in the middle of the city near to the center to try my new 50mm lens one morning, and this picture is one of the results... you can see the Mole Antonelliana in the background, the symbol of the city.

Praying

Santuario Basilica La Consolata, Torino, 2011

I have to say I never go to church, but I happen to be there because my relatives wanted to go inside... so I went and took some pictures. The church in the inside is really beautiful, one of the most beautiful churches in Torino. If you happen to come, be sure you don't miss it!
