Fabio is a photographer and a designer, but since he was young he has been inspired by traveling and meeting different cultures in different places. Before with his family, and after by himself, he moved to Ireland and Australia. Today he has still the same approach, he tries to live his journey by framing visions with my camera, without forgetting what is all around him: talking to people, learning about their habits and their food. The experiences he can live, approaching always as a guest wherever he goes, suggest that sometimes it's hard to capture on digital camera emotions, so he must protect them in his memories, in his mind, and in his heart. What he loves the most is organizing workshops where, besides teaching photography techniques, he is sharing with people the same experiences, forging different types of travelers.

Besides all the adventures he’s doing in nature, Fabio is a rider passionate about motorbikes and cars, a market where he works as an action photographer for a commercial advertising agency. On rainy days, he likes to stick in the studio for still-life photography, where he plays with lights and do-it-yourself stuff to make new effects, waiting for good weather to get out again.

Laurie’s images are created with a modern feel that brings the viewer into the natural scene. Her images are photographed and produced in a format created for large designer prints.  

Laurie gravitates towards winter scenes shot in extremely cold climates.  Shooting in extremely cold weather brings different challenges: storms, dangerous terrain, punishing altitudes, frost bite, wildlife, malfunctioning gear, frozen tripods, and wet clothes. Shooting in cold conditions is her passion and she is always carefully planning her next shoot.  

Staying in front of rapidly changing technology, with new gear, cameras, lenses, and post-processing education, allows Laurie to grow as an artist and capture scenes like no one else. Her specialty is fine art landscapes, environmental portraits and teaching landscape photography in the field.
