Paolo Gabriele Maiero is a landscape photographer from northern Italy. His passion for photography immediately focused on landscapes, leading him to explore numerous places in the mountains of north-eastern Italy such as the Dolomites; continuing then he began to travel in northern Europe and other European countries in search of beautiful landscapes to immortalize in the best light conditions.

Born in Argentina, my passion for exploration and the ocean led me to travel the world in search of extraordinary moments. After years of adventure, I finally found my home in Indonesia, a place where the waves, light, and raw beauty of nature became my greatest inspiration.

With over 12 years of experience as a professional photographer, I specialize in capturing the essence of surf and the ocean. My work goes beyond documenting action; it tells a deeper story of human connection with the sea. I see the ocean as an ever-changing piece of art, where each sunrise, storm, and calm moment unveils a unique palette of colors and emotions.

Beyond photography, I lead surf photography workshops and expeditions to remote locations, offering immersive and authentic experiences. I collaborate with brands, athletes, and storytellers who seek real, unfiltered imagery.

My mission is simple: to capture the ocean at its most powerful and breathtaking moments and share its energy with the world.
