Hi, I'm Ambra.
And I’m not a photographer.
I'd rather say that I take pictures - when I feel it -
and sometimes I like them.
That’s it.
Postcards and random snapshots, just being playful, messing around and loving the process, loving the moment.
In love with my Fuji, a Fujifilm XT-20, which perfectly mirrors my mood swings - we still argue sometimes - and that lens, a scratched, cheap second-hand prime lens full of sand, with her soft focus and that golden flare.
There's not a goal, not a purpose, in my pictures.
Just moments that look good - that feel good - through the lens.
So, if you like them, if you can feel them too,
you’ve made my day.
If you find yourself tasting the breeze of the Ocean, or touching the uncertainty of a sudden road trip, or if I've been able to give you hints of whatever feeling,
I triumphed already.
Being a photographer it's not just about the natural drive for beauty and telling stories.
This word comes together with much more commitment: it’s a matter of patience, dedication, expertise. Study, consistency, skills.
Dealing with expectations and delivering results, while staying true to yourself.
And it’s plenty enough of good, badass photographers out there.
I don’t need to put myself in that.
I prefer photography made spontaneous,
free from any criteria, niche, label, or whatsoever.
This website so far comes as a place where to collect - and share - a bunch of those moments I gathered over time. To give them a bit of a structure and some fresh air.
For it seems that many of them find further harmony
and fall into place, when set together.
As you have a look at things through my eyes, I’ll be happy also to connect and have any kind of feedback from you, to share ideas, opinions, feelings, random talks, whatever comes.
Same if you’re interested in doing something together, or you just like the idea of some prints, or want to know more.
Well, with all that said: welcome to my gallery!
Lots of love, Ambra
