I'm Luigi Bottecchia, but on the web I'm simply Gigi Botte. And I was born in 1993 in Italy.
I started taking photos, my first passion, during the second year of high school and, until now, I've never stopped. But one day I understood that there are feelings, and stories that couldn't be told with photos, and I started writing. As a sport lover I first wrote about sports for http://www.contropiede.net a site which I still write for. Surely this is my best experience of writing thanks to the guys who manage the site. The Contropiede family is something special, I don't know many of the guys who work there but they always encourage me, and some of them are still an inspiration for me. Recently I tried new kinds of photography. Starting from weddings, going trough portraits of children and some "fashion", ending with the world of Trail Running. Photografic equipment: Canon EOS 6D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Manfrotto Tripod BeFree |
