What's a portrait?
"A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks"

About Me
A SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Ezio Romano (1946-????), from Italy. Graduated in Medicine and Surgery (University of Padova), Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (University of Trieste) and Biomedical Engineering Specialist (University of Bologna). Head of the Dpt of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Ospedale Maggiore, Trieste , Italy (retired). Author and Editor of several postgraduated textbooks of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine.
My father passed on to me his passion for photography. I like portrait photography very much, but I also practice landscape and street photography. Occasionally I deal with macrophotography and abstract photography.
