LENSBABY AMBASSADOR

Published 25/06/2024

I'm a Lensbaby Ambassador!

I am so happy to announce that I am officially part of the beautiful Lensbaby family as an Ambassador!

As already written in the Lensbaby blogs, the lenses, optics and filters from this wonderful company immediately won me over with their uniqueness. I bought the first lens in 2019 - the Lensbaby Velvet85 - which is still my favourite for my Floral Fine Art project.
My curiosity and desire to try new things led me to buy more and now I can also have fun and amaze myself with the Lensbaby Sol 45 and Trio28 lenses, the Sweet35, Sweet 50, Obscura Optic, Edge80, Double Glass II, Soft Focus II Swap system lenses with the Composer Pro II and Spark 2.0 bases. With the macro lenses and various Omni filters I am certainly well equipped.
I don't know anyone else here in Ticino who regularly uses these lenses and optics, I am available to show my equipment and answer any questions. I am also available for dedicated courses - for groups or individuals - or to come and present this wonderful brand in photography groups.

Nature First

Published 28/08/2021
PhotoWithLove  - naturefirstproudmember.png

During the summer months I didn't spend much time on photography, but I did read a number of interesting articles and came across this alliance of photographers - both professional and amateur - while surfing the web. I immediately felt aligned with their thinking: perhaps it contributed to the fact that I was born and raised in a place full of natural wonders and respect for our environment has always been part of my education. I think it's sad that we have to make an alliance to promote principles that should be inherent in all of us, but if we look around us, our conscience does indeed need to be 'awakened'. I am also convinced that each of us, in our own small way, can make a contribution. After a few weeks of reflection, I decided to become a member of Nature First, to promote respectful thinking about our wonderful natural heritage.

I invite you to visit the webpage www.naturefirstphotography.org  and - why not? - sign up too .

  • Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
  • Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
  • Use discretion if sharing locations.
  • Know and follow rules and regulations
  • Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.
  • ActivelyAct promote and educate others about· these principles

Write about me

Published 17/11/2020


During the month of October 2020 I should have exhibited my photos of the FloralFineArt project at the 9m2 Gallery in Lugano. Given the difficult moment, it was decided to postpone everything. However, Walter Ghidini has already given me the presentation he prepared. I was really moved! Thank you very much, Walter.


Patrizia Belotti: Photography in her heart

She has always been passionate about photography, also because it has always occupied an important place in her life in various ways. From her grandfather, who loved to take photographs for pleasure and who often told her about her grandmother's uncle who was a professional photographer, to her father, who photographed and filmed the most beautiful moments  spent together, everyone in the family loved to take pictures and so Patrizia grew up surrounded by photographs and photo albums. At the age of eight she received her first camera and since then she has explored this art more and more, learning to tell the story of the world around her and to build what would become her very personal style over time. However, there was a moment in Patrizia's life that meant a clean break with the past, a moment that brought her to a different life with a new aura. However, she has never forgotten the beautiful sensations that photography used to give her and when she gets her hands on the medium again, she starts to play with it again. The arrival of digital photography finally gave a decisive boost to her creativity, which was now able to express itself through new and more appealing languages, opening up doors to spaces yet to be explored. Patrizia sees the moment of post-production in photography as something that naturally and obviously follows the shot, a natural expressive complement that, without hesitation, enriches and enhances the initial image. Emotion becomes photography, which becomes the language of emotions and so on in a virtuous vortex of expressiveness and positivity. Her favourite lights are the Nordic ones, clean and delicate, with long and silent landscapes. Her is a wide-ranging and sensitive gaze, using a delicate and elegant narrative style. Her photographs are exquisite visions of colour and form, created by the passion and poetry that Patrizia sublimates in her research. Patrizia believes it is essential to be able to retain her freedom to explore what she really likes and to make good images she feels she must be inspired and the only way to be inspired is to follow her own very personal path, in complete and absolute freedom.

What an emotion to see my own photo as a giant picture, especially if the place is linked to many childhood memories. Great idea, Silarte Association! The exhibition of the grotto trail can be visited until autumn.
