"Born in Florence (ITALY) in 1981, Riccardo has been passionate about science, physics and photography since childhood. His father taught him how to use an old-fashioned film camera, and since then Riccardo has never stopped applying his creativity to his images and which he takes along as a second camera on his travels, because the charm of analog photography always stays with him.

In 2017, Riccardo had the innovative idea of creating the first photography school based on Silversea's luxury cruise ships, sailing the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctic. He has designed and run courses in collaboration with specialist photographers in polar regions such as the Antarctic Peninsula, the Arctic Circle and South Georgia. In addition, he has shared unique photographic experiences in non-polar destinations such as South Africa, Europe and the USA.

His photographic experience extends to unusual conditions, reflecting his spirit of safe adventure. He also shares his passion for the pursuit of good food and conviviality around a table with good friends, which is one of his strengths.

Claudio is a freelance photographer based in Geneva. He has been enthusiast discovering the world of photography since he was a child, and even time-consuming studies and personal obstacles could not suppress Claudio’s passion for photography.

Since ten years he has made this skill a profession and a way of life, capturing the beauty which lies all around us everywhere, every day.

Claudio identifies himself professionally with a quote from William Faulkner: “The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.”
