MATTEO ROLFI
Sagittarius

The 26th/27th of October it was the last warm weekend of autumn, with clear sky...Therefore I took the last chance to go to Zermatt and spend the night with my camera at the Stellisee. That night the stars were really amazing, conditions were perfect: the milky way was crossing the peak during the night and I took several shots of it. With my second camera I was also capturing a long exposure (513 minutes), this shot was taken around 23.00 with a 14mm lens.

I was born in 1990 in Italy (Mondovi', Piemont) and I moved to Switzerland (Lugano) in 2015 for working reasons.

Since when I relocated, my personality changed and I started to travel around every weekend, eager to discover this new country in which I landed.

I immediately felt the internal desire to take pictures of every new place I was exploring and I started doing it with my mobile phone. So, one year later, I decided to give myself a Christmas present: my first reflex camera. Since then, this desire became a passion...and now it has become almost an obsession.

Today I am still working and living in Switzerland, but in the Canton of Zug. It is an amazing and central place, perfect for people like me, who love nature, mountains and adventures...Of course to be lived along with the camera!

In may 2020 I won an honorable mention for my photography "Sagittarius" in the International Photography Awards IPA, category Movement, Nature.
