About Me

Photography is an art

It’s about finding extra-ordinary

In an ordinary place

Hello, I’m Marco Maurelli,born in Rome in 1964. My passion for photography started in high school where I participated in a laboratory of development and printing in black and white, I was just 13 years old and the magic of the darkroom thrilled me immediately, coming back home I took the old reflex of my father (who still jealously guards) and didn’t separate from it no more. Now I’m a cameraman at the RAI, the desire to take pictures and to travel accompanied me for more than 30 years and I think that it will never leave me. This site has no profit, but only the purpose to disclose my passion, hoping that other people could be introduced in this wonderful art called photography. I will not bore you with technical arguments or with the description of my equipment, I think the camera is like a pen for a writer, a good novel you can write with a cheap pencil or a solid gold fountain pen, but the beauty of the content resides in the mind and in the experiences of the writer. I hope to have explained myself nicely.
I must and I want to thank all the people who believed in me and who have always encouraged me to continue, primarily my friends and the company I work for (called “RAI the Mom”) which gave me the opportunity to travel and to support me economically.
Thank you for visiting my site, I hope that you’d liked the photos and that you want to spread it as best you can.
Thank you so much!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING A PHOTOGRAPHER CAN RECEIVE IS SURELY A SMILE!

ONLY THOSE WHO ATTEMPT THE ABSURD WILL ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE!
