About Artist

Matteo Redaelli

I am a landscape photographer who specializes in capturing images of natural and outdoor environments. I am focused on showcasing the beauty of landscapes, both natural and urban, often traveling to remote and picturesque locations to find the most evocative scenes. The main characteristics and skills that I have include artistic eye and composition, knowledge of light, technical proficiency, patience and perseverance, preparation and planning, post processing skills, environmental respect and passion for nature. I won different awards in photography, and I love to show the work through social media and exhibitions. - 4 Honorable Mentions Monochrome Award 2016 - Silver Medal - Tokyo International Photo Award 2017 - Sony International Photo Award 2018 - Collaboration Oslo University with naturalistic pictures on Tvergastein Issue 2018 - Collaboration with DOVE VIAGGI - LensCulture 2023 - Critic's choice - 2 Honorable Mentions - Chromatic Photo Award 2017 - 2 Honorable Mentions - Photography Grant 2018 and 2019 - 1 Bronze refocus awards - landscape - world photo annual 2023 - Publication in Lens Magazine January 2024 Issue 112 - 1 Bronze in Exposure One Awards - One shot photography contest - 1 Bronze in 1839 Awards - Color Photography Contest
