Welcome to beltramo.net

Here you will discover a world of photos which transforms ordinary objects into works of art.

My approach is based on an unceasing aesthetic quest. With the eye of an individualist, I seeks out the traces of human presence in the commonplace urban environment. These traces, seen in close-up, isolate them from their context and lead me to my own vision of the world.

A vision that enables me, without the help of special effects, to transform the most ordinary object into abstract compositions of line and colour. Inspired by the commonplace, I demonstrate the essential importance of vision in the photographer's art. By revealing the unfamiliar aspect of the city thanks to this abundance of neglected visual resources, I invite you to take a fresh look at my everyday environment.

Enjoy your visit, and why not write to me at: jjb@beltramo.net.
