    Arctic Fox Hide and Seek In West Greenland, in fr Arctic Fox Hide and Seek In West Greenland, in front of the Eqi Glacier, I saw something roaming near the edge of the camp, and once I realized it was an Arctic Fox, I grabbed my telephoto lens and started walking downhill to get closer. The sun was already setting, so it was not easy to follow the fox from a distance and handling the camera by hand. After a while, the fox seemed to be winning at this game of hide and seek, as I could not spot it anymore among the rocks… and just when I was about to give up, it raised the head from the rocks, looking straight at me, and I was able to catch this look… just before it disappeared again, probably going to hunt in the night. #greenland #visitgreenland #arcticfox #wildlifephotography
    Finally a photography of a nudibranch that I am pr Finally a photography of a nudibranch that I am proud of! Underwater photography is so challenging, but also so satisfying, especially when you start to see some results. I shot this beautiful nudibranch - cratena peregrina - in Calabria, south of Italy, and I've never seen so many of them in a single dive. The red background is coral, not post-production here. Nudibranch are definitely one of my favorite creatures on Earth! #nudibranch #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #nudibranchs #calabria
    Greenlandic Glacier Seal. Unfortunately this is n Greenlandic Glacier Seal. Unfortunately this is not the happy discovery of a new seal species that lives in the Greenland Ice Sheet, but one of the (too) many meltwater lakes that every summer are formed on the ice surface. This phenomenon is common during summer, but in the last years the ice melts faster, quicker and deeper, creating lakes, crevasses and penetrating below the ice sheet itself, accelerating the slowly descent into the sea. #greenland #greenlandscape #glacier #ice #visitgreenland

This shipwreck is at 20-40meters depth in the Marine Park of Portofino, Liguria, Italy. It first sank in Canada at the beginnin of 1900. It was rescued and brought in Italy, but on the way it sank for the second and final time. #diving #shipwreck #underwaterphoto #wreckdiving #areamarinaprotetta #padi

Before the contests, before the social media, I truly believe that the first audience of photography is ourselves, and I can't find a better way to treasure that than printing them.

This pack of fin whales, the second largest mammal in the world, was swimming closeby a beautiful iceberg #ilulissat #greenland #visitgreenland #whalewatching
