Gloria Grandolini

I recently moved to Miami Beach from Washington D.C. I will also spend part of the year in the pacific coast of Mexico. I am originally from Rome but have lived in the US since graduate school. I retired 2 years ago from the World Bank Group after 27 years working on development. Photography has been my passion for many years and finally I now have the time to improve my skills and develop a portfolio.

When I photograph, I feel free to view the world and the people around me beyond set boundaries, with new eyes. After being guided by rules and frameworks for so many years... I am now diving into a new chapter of spontaneity and searching. I am drawn by the explosion of colors of sunsets, by the ocean - from the regularity of tides to the forces of nature, and by the human body immersed in or blending into nature. I am also fascinated by macrophotography - as it allows me to discover the unseen in everyday life. I also love geometric forms. I am just beginning my photographic journey and look forward to learning from PSA colleagues.

I am using a Canon EOS 80D and a variety of lenses.
