ABOUT ANGELICA GIANGREGORIO
Life for me is about having a positive attitude, living life inspired and expressing myself with passion. Becoming an explorer and looking at everything with wonder and possibility, going through life as an adventurer seeking discovery.
I discovered photography through my passion for travel when I was 6 years old.
As my father’s job required him to travel to different parts of the world, I was exposed to different cultures, languages, peoples and landscapes from a very young age.
I found this fascinating and somehow in my desire to capture it all I stumbled on a “device” that did just that … A Super 8mm Kodak camera! The joy was not only in the desire to capture, but in the device itself. I loved putting my eye to the viewfinder of the
camera, and walking along listening to the sound of the film as it was being pulled through the gate of the camera. In this moment I discovered the magic of film and the exhilaration of capturing the beauty that I was seeing around me in perpetuity!
This eventually evolved into a passion for both travel and photography. My camera has become an extension of my arm capturing life as I go along, wether it is a stroll along the beach where I live, or traveling around the world, or simply sitting still taking in my surroundings.
Traveling is my passion, the grit of the adventure keeps me young, the eagerness to discover new lands keeps me excited, and the continuous learning is the way by which I engage with the world. It gets my creative juices going, it allows me to learn about our shared human story, and celebrate our differences in culture, religion, philosophy and to revel in the beauty of our earth. Capturing moments in time through photography has become part of the experience of being a traveler/adventurer on this path of life. There is no better high in life than this!!
