Antonio La Grotta born in Turin in 1971. He graduated at IED (European Design Institute) where he now teaches practicals in photography planning and communication. He is a freelance photographer. His works have appeared in several Italian, as well as international magazines, such as, Dcasa La Repubblica, Internazionale, il Post, Spiegel Online, Form, Fotografia Magazine, Slate, Tsugi. He works as an artist and he took part to several exhibitions in Italy and abroad. My photographies explore the intersection of nature and imagination; they represent a mental landscape affected by a world of constant change, a world of nature and artifice. Through images of both real and depicted nature, i suggest others worlds using multiple photographs, unrelated fragments of the outside world collected over time in a variety of locations.No individuals appear in the quiet pictures, or so it seems, at first glance. For behind the aesthetic charm of the visual compositions lies the ambiguity of their aesthetic, as well as the omnipresence of people. The landscapes are places man affected.
