Dario Riva 

Country: Italy

I was born in 1956, and attracted to photography I started taking my first shots in the early 80's with a friend's camera. Initially as a self-taught then I learned of a photography course organized by the Photo Club of my country, I decide to sign up. During the course, in addition to the notions of photographic technique, I learn of the existence of the Italian Federation of Photographic Associations (FIAF), At the end of the course I decide to join both the FIAF and the Photographic Club (Photographic Club "Research and Proposal Dolzago) where I currently hold the position of Vice President. Here I come into contact with the world of photographic competitions. I begin to sign up for some competitions, initially with mediocre results and then improve over the years. The first recognitions arrive in the early 90s at a national level and then also at an internationaI level. I like to photograph all kinds of photography, but sport is the section that fascinates me the most.
