About Roberto Tognella

I chose landscape photography because immersing myself in nature is, for me, tuning into a wavelength that predisposes me to inner silence, a spiritual and contemplative state.
Avoiding the oppressive weight of rationality (fueled also by my profession as a technical-scientific journalist), the quest for a more simplified view of life is transmitted to my idea of landscape photography. Breaking down the complexity of life corresponds to seeking a simpler and more immediate expressiveness in photography through forms and colors inherent in the landscape, rather than a more descriptive, detailed, and overall view. Clouds, water reflections, and mists catalyze the transition, that simplification that gives shape to another vision of reality, more intimate and introspective, dear to photographers like Franco Fontana, Bruce Percy, John Paul Caponigro.
An opening thanks to which today I live in the kaleidoscopic world of photography, feeling a part of it, through images and photographic projects that aim to narrate the nuances of my feelings, the silences, the emotions that arise from the fluid and 'de-rationalized' encounter with nature.
