These thoughts cannot be the same as another person’s because, otherwise, they would already be portrayed in a previous photograph, and there would be no reason for taking that photograph again.

A photograph, if it is a work of art, offers us a different view of the world. By means of a photograph we see the world as we have never seen it before.

For this reason, each artist is different from any other, because his style allows him to characterize in a unique way even parts of the world and events, which have been the subjects of other artists’ photos. This happens because each artist infuses his work with his own life experience, and his own vision of the world.

By looking at his photographs we understand his poetic vein, which is not expressed by focusing on a precise subject matter, because life is expressed in many different forms. As a result, Andrea loves taking photographs of the countryside, taking portraits, photographing architecture, still life events, in a press fashion, because he says “everything which is around us is part of and is also the essence of life”.

I believe that in photography he has found the way to liberate his feelings and to express himself unconditionally. Andrea Zanatta’s photographs contain the primeval instinct of the cave painters; that necessity which makes photography a physiological need, maybe because it satisfies the need to leave a trace of himself for posterity and therefore acquire a form of immortality, but, above all, because it is essential in order to “live” and not to “survive”.

It is perhaps the exceeding variety of his subjects, which expresses his, will to overcome any obstacle and to knock down any barrier, of participating in any manifestation of life.
