About Stefano Orazzini
I am an award-winning photographer based in Italy, featured on all major media channels such as National Geographic, The Times, Huffington Post, The Telegraph, Lonely Planet, and more.

When a photograph is printed as artwork to hang on a wall, it becomes a memory you can touch, providing a more profound emotion.
