Welcome to Soncijo Photography!

Underwater photo taken in the Caribbean.

Welcome to my Web site! Please browse through the pages, with pictures of Italy, the U.S., and the Caribbean.

Perhaps I should explain to you that, as with all my photographs taken with digital Canon cameras, you will see very straightforward pictures and others that I call my "artistic photos," namely those that I feel like transforming into "art" with the fabulous capabilities of Adobe Photoshop CS3.

In addition to my work as a cross-cultural psychotherapist, photography has taken an increasingly central role in my life. My one-person shows in Italy and my new book have lent me great joys. Enjoy!
