Alessandro Pagano
born in Catania (Italy, Sicily) January 4, 1968
Hobby:
underwater and naturalistic photograph,
yachting.
Married June 12, 1998
with Maria
"New entry" on June 18, 2002 Claudio
our son.
Since i was a child, i have always been attracted by
the sea and thanks to my father i succeed to encrease this
passion, constantly.
In 1996 i have joined the "Gro SUB Catania", one of the main
submarine association, expressing a large number of high-rated
skills of underwater athletes. Soon, the "GRO SUB" president,
allowed me to manage with the photosub equipment and during the
same year i succeed to take part in the selections for
underwater photo-chase, with good results. In the following year
i have bought my first analogic reflex camera, a F50 Nikon with
the AF-D 105mm MICRO NIKKOR optic. In the same period i got the
essential part of my personal equipment: the Ikelite case,
flanked with Ikelite flash "Subtrobe 100Ai" model. Between 1997
and 2001 I had very good results in several agonistic challenges,
that took me to become part of the italian national team for
underwater photo-chase.
In the
"palmares" page you can see all the honorifics i have
got in my agonistic career and strengthened in them, i
persevered in all the opportunities i could, to catch in photo
many kind of underwater organism, who took me to reach a very
large amount of film-slide, with more than 10,000 images,
coming from almost the whole Mediterranean basin. Among them
there are a various amount of underwater common and non-common
species. Many of such images are part of the University of
biology database of the city of Catania, meanwhile many others
have been illustrating dedicated magazines like "Das aquarium",
or have been published on dedicated Internet sites like that of
Dr. Robert A. Pazner, a gobidae expert. I also collaborate with
other biologists to identificate some dubious species.
I would like to invite you all to observe the images in the
portfolio page, hoping that each of that picture could make you
to unerstand as well, the love i feel towards the sea and its
silent inhabitants.
Thank you.
