My name is Simone Monsellato, I just turned 21 and I'm a student of international relations. I first picked up a camera in March of last year, just for fun. I had to go to Rome to visit a dear friend of mine who is studying there and I decided to take a camera that I had at home with me. I started taking some photos in the streets of Rome and from there everything tasted different. I had the opportunity to capture every single and unique moment, telling it with my own eyes. I've never studied photography, and I really wish I could. It is difficult to be able to reconcile time between studying, my life and photography. For now my school is the street and I firmly believe that it's a great start to be able to experiment and play the game. I don't have technical knowledge nowadays but I'm working to get it. I'm participating in the competition because I want someone highly skilled to see and be critical of my shots. My dream is to be appreciated for my "art" and I think dreaming is one of the few real and abstract things that fills the heart of those who do it. Thank you for your time.
