Welcome to Artiamo!

I started this site in 1998, basically to have a way to share my pictures with family and friends. Photographers - like designers - always feel the need to display their portfolio as attractive as possible for their website visitors. So, as years went by, the website constantly evolved and since 2004, it runs on a Joomla engine.

Driven by the passion of photography, I entered the digital scene in 2002. It wasn't the easiest thing to decide though, as back then, digital cameras were pretty much just a gig. But the technology was very intriguing and the post processing opened a whole new world of opportunities.

Now I don't consider myself a great artist or top photographer, but always try to catch the emotion or the atmosphere behind the picture. I often like to think of pictures reflecting so much more than just the recording of a moment. They reflect me. My thoughts, my feelings, my point of view of that very same moment.

I recently also added some of my poems I wrote throughout the years. As my pictures, they too reflect my thoughts and feelings of a given moment. And just like my pictures, they are but a snapshot of my life.

With this site, I offer you but a small window to my life. So I hereby invite you all to have a peek through it and hope you do like your findings!
