I would like to thank everybody models and people who gave me the opportunity
to admire those perfect results through different nations and nationalities in Europe, Australia, USA and Canada those years of 1990-2000 when I was in my black and white era.
Scouting... casting... imagination,
research... creation...trying all the time to focus on reality and capturing it on a piece of paper either if it was pictures or poems.

traditional professional negatives and they are part of the book 'Expression' Copyright � Dio Ltd 1990-2000
The images appearing in this web site could probably not show with so much detail and depth, due to on purpose low file sizes that have been used concerning dimensions and resolutions. The reasons are a few:
a. The idea was to be demonstrated the volume of the experience through the time, and finally to look more like a catalogue than an artistic issue.
b. All those pictures to be possible to fit within the space limit of this web site.
c. For really quick loading and someone not to get tired of waiting to see them.
d. For copyright security in the net.

There are several types of photography.
Still life is the type of photography
that has to do with objects.
When photographing people it is
different. Objects are always
there for you, but they never change
which can also be boring you must
change them in your own way.
Other types of photography are:
underwater, microscope, satellite,
nature, sceneries...Pictures of animals need a lot of patience...
Copies, advertising, covers...reporting photo-news... most of them sad news and fashion is something temporary.
I respect all of them as well but
I have chosen people.
Healthy young people as a hidden
message of a better tomorrow.

... and the camera doesn't forget its job
even now in front of this grandeur
because it knows,
it has seen many times before,
people separate, to hurt themselves,
to forget what ever they promise,
but memories stay forever...
Part of the poem 'A shooting in the
ancient temple' from the book of poems
'Inspirational moments of introduction'
written by Dio.

The pictures around on purple backround are pictures off scene (before shooting) and on the left is Dio
