These photographs freeze the unpredictable trajectories of some glowing toys — a die, a spinning top — capturing their energy and the timeless fascination they hold for both children and adults across generations. Each picture is the result of a single long exposure.

Still Life... in Motion

Captured in the historic Bonzanigo Room at the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi, this photograph explores the interplay of architectural detail and late afternoon light. Angular shadows intersect woodwork, revealing the space’s quiet elegance and aged stillness.

Honorable Mention

A red car body becomes a reflective membrane where water and light blur the line between object and perception. Raindrops cling like suspended thoughts, while a faint tree silhouette emerges — a fragile trace evoking torpor, where clarity softens into abstraction.

A silent city awakens beneath the soft light of dawn. The panorama captures Salzburg’s layered architecture and mountainous silhouette, merging the geometric rhythms of the urban space with the natural contours of the landscape. A moment of balance between built structure and rising light.
