Beginning of Autumn 2011, a “Glamour” model agency offered me to photograph one of their nude models, Victoria.After only two years of experience, my technical skills in underwater photography were only at the beginning.It is at that time that “the female nude” emerged for the first time in my pool and on my images . Even though the logistics of it was equally rudimentary (background, flash, make-up), the pure beauty revealed by these photos found admirers among my entourage.Driven by this personal and social enthusiasm, I pursued this creative momentum under different light sets and settings, mixing my own projects and commercial proposals in the years to come. Over the years and through different themes, underwater photography became my work and my biggest passion.“Aqua mare mater” originally symbolizes an embryo in its amniotic liquid and myself as a photographer in a pool experimenting a real rebirth.This book is meant to be a collection of my experiments on the nude theme. Despite my other work topics, I keep coming back to this one as a painter comes back to his never ending masterful secret painting.
