Hi there, I'm Stefano. Nice to meet you.
WHO I AM
Hi there, I'm Stefano, class of 1983.
Amateur photographer from Italy, noob climber, slow traveler, and husband of an amazing woman.
Life forced me to be a web developer and designer, but I love to dedicate my free time to photography, climbing and exploring the world. :)
After conducting a semi-digital-nomad lifestyle for a few years (I've lived in Italy, Canada, Greece, Spain, Canary Island and Colombia, and explored most of Europe and South America), I've decided to slow down a bit, and make a home base in Italy with my beautiful wife. From here we will keep slow-traveling around the world, and we plan to buy our first campervan in the next couple of years.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME
I will try to be constant and publish photos on a regular basis (I have a quite decent archive on my HDDs), participate to the community and try to add something valuable to it.
Any suggestion about how to participate to Steemit as a photographer will be very appreciated! :)
WHERE TO FIND ME
You can find me online in various places:
USE OF MY PICTURES
I'm quite open to non-commercial uses of my pictures, but I'd appreciate if you ask first and and give me proper credits.
Commercial usage is allowed ONLY with my explicit and written permission.
Great, someone who can create real content on steemit!
I told this before to another new photographer here on steemit, but if you're into photography you should try to participate in contests like those by @photocontests or @daveks or @claudiaz or... well, there are a lot of different contests on steemit and it's a great way to win some steem (if you're good and win ;) but also a great way to meet other photographers and expand your following/followers circle.
Good luck on steemit and I follow you!
Thank a lot for your advice! :) I will definitely try to participate to a few contests. The search feature is not so good here on Steemit, so it's not always easy to find them. But I'm getting started ;)
hahaha, no indeed. The search function somewhat s**** (and I'm polite)
I usually check out who follows who to discover new people and/or artwork. All depends on your intrests...
That's smart. I'll try to do the same to find other photographers. I'm particularly interested in landscape photography
Welcome to Steemit, looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you @lifeobserver :)
Welcome to Steemit, Stefano! Be consistent, make connections, and don't get discouraged if the rewards aren't that good at the beginning :) Did I say make connections?
Thank you for the welcome and for the advices. Ok.. I think I understood that making connections is somewhat important :) hehe
Stefan, great beard, I do web design, film, music, art, love travel, and have been to Hawaii, Canada, New York, California, Vietnam. I am not sure what a camper van is but I can assume it is the kind of van people use for camping. You seem to have a fun wife and I probably should get a van too. Welcome to Steemit.
Thank you for the warming welcome! Yes, a campervan is the van people use to travel and live in for long or short period of time. You should definitely get one, that's the essence of freedom while traveling :P
awesome
