Simone Barraco on Sportweek

Here there’s a picture of Simone Barraco barspinning over Montjuic fontain in Barcelona.

BMX in B&W

I was flipping through some old BMX pictures and I noticed these black and white images: the top one is Kevin Kalkoff, wallride on a Colmar bridge in 2006 ; the second one is Perico on Genoa Vulcanetti. I like these pictures because they are both wrong is some way: on Kevin shot, I didn’t [...]

This will destroy you: Jacopo Carozzi

I first met Jacopo Carozzi about three years ago as he came to the IUTER head quarter to get some free clothes and stickers: he was a shy twelve years old kid, too small for the XS tshirt, so he walked away with loads of women tshirts! During this time I had the opportunity to [...]

BMX coverage

Lately I wasn’t massively on the road with my pals Simone Barraco and Stefan Lantschner, but still I got the chance to shoot their latest actions.
