About me
I’m Massimo Belloni, from northwest Italy. I started with photography in the secondary school (with b/w and the darkroom in my house bath). My profession regard computers (I’m lucky enough to have a job I like much).
My approach
With my images I try to communicate the emotion and feelings I’ve felt when I took them. I believe photography should be authentic and evocative. To attempt reaching this objective, I use, sparingly, some technique I believe could help in transmitting these feelings to who’s looking at my pictures.This is quite hard to obtain, also because I think that anyone of us has a personal vision about the surrounding world, as well as an image I feel interesting could not arouse in others the same impression which gave to me. I use minimal post-production to keep my images as true to the moment as possible—no generative AI, just the raw beauty of light and life, leaving the images as much as possible as they were taken. My subjects range from the urban energy to the tranquil landscapes, and the abstract patterns hidden in everyday scenes.
Why I photograph
For me, photography is about connecting with the world-wheter it’s the fleeting glance of a stranger, the golden light on a mountain peak, or the symmetry of shadows on a city street. Every image is a piece of a larger story, one that I hope resonates with you.

My favicon: Just in case you are squeezing your eyes trying to decipher what it is, here you can see it enlarged. The basic idea is quite simple: over that the overlapping MB characters (which I’ve used from long time), I’ve used as background the typical scheme of the Bayer mosaic sensor used in most of the digital cameras, where 50% of the pixels are sensible to the green, 25% to the red and 25% to the blue. That’s all folks!
