Giancarlo started his photography career aged 34, first as an amateur, and then he began documenting Abruzzo in 2006. In 2012 he left his job in IT to become a full-time photographer. He qualified as a journalist, 3 years ago and started his own wedding photography business that has taken him to France, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and Mexico to shoot couple’s special day!
His first book contribution was dedicated to the 2009 earthquake called “3:32 the signs of the earthquake”, followed by one called “Tesori d’Abruzzo”. He has since published “Giulianova Timeless Seduction”, “Pescara Timeless Seduction”, “Abruzzo Timeless Seduction” and “Abruzzo Grand Tour”.
