FABIO BATOCCHI Art Photography

Born in Perugia in 1970, I am an electronic engineer. Therefore, Art is not my main job, but pure passion.

I always love visual art in all its expressions, even if photography is the one I've been cultivating since I was young and that has allowed me to gain national and international visibility and awards. My artistic career passed through the still life, the naturalistic photo and, more recently, the abstract, the conceptual and modern art in general.

I consider photography as a medium for expressing thoughts and emotions. I am an observer and a listener, and since I do not love chatting, I let my works do the talking.

Over the years, the continuous research and curiosity have matured my style, leading me to expand the interest also to other artistic forms, such as painting.

I have had the fortune of sharing my passion and thus free time with my wife Elena, also an artist photographer. Together we created several four-handed works.

Since 2006 I started a path within the photographic associations, enrolling at UIF (Photo amateur Italian Union). From 2015 to 2019 I was also a member of the GPU (Global Photographic Union).

I use Pentax, Practica and Fuji cameras with Pentax, Pentacon, Sigma, Tamron, Fuji and russians lens. I have different focal lengths, but my favorite is still the 50mm. I also own a medium format TLR camera Yashica MAT-124G.

For many it will seem "heresy", but I recently turned the attention to the cameras found on cell phones and tablets. For me it is not important the equipment and/or the technique that is used, but exclusively the final result: the work and its intrinsic message.
