Through the lens of Mattia Panunzio

Describe your style of photography in three words

Calm, unassuming, reflective

What camera do you use?

I recently switched from reflex to mirrorless and I am using a Sony A7R4 at the moment. I always keep my beloved Canon 5D next to me.

You made a big trip from Rome to Sydney. What do you love about Australia?

The natural beauty of Australia is something that’s hard to explain to people who have never experienced it. The sense of calm I feel when I’m around nature is what I love the most.

And what do you miss about Rome?

As an Italian, overseas I must mention the food as one of the things I’m missing.

When you’re not taking photographs, how do you spend your weekends?

Surfing is one of the reasons why I moved to Australia. Whenever I’m not shooting you can definitely find me in the ocean! 

What was your favourite part about Mona Farm?

The serenity and calmness. It was such a relaxing and wonderful stay.
