Leonardo Papèra
Landscape & Nature Photographer
Leonardo (Leo) is a landscape photographer from Tuscany, Italy, and it’s been in the sector since almost a decade now. Leo spends most of his time leading workshops in Italy as well as many other European countries.
Since when he was really young Leo always tried to spend as much time as possible in nature. Growing older, with photography he found the perfect mean to transmit his passion for nature to others.
Leo’s style always revolved more around the on-the-field part than the post production side; he’s convinced that the bigger part of a photography creation is the study before and on-the-field, rather than outstanding post production skills.
What Leo aims to do every time he’s on the field is to exploit the knowledge he learned along the years and the conditions that Mother Nature will grace him in order to convey emotions, narrate a story and achieve a fascinating, natural visual result in all his pictures.
Leo has won prizes in many international nature photography contests such as Montphoto Awards, the International Landscape Photographer of the Year, the Memorial Maria Luisa and got published in magazines like National Geographic Traveler, Digital Camera Magazine and many others.
