What I most like about photography is the moment that you can’t anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected. – Martine Frank

Welcome and thanks for visiting my portfolio.

My name is Silvia Ganora. I was born in a little town in Northern Italy. When not taking photos I mainly work on my pc at my pictures. I found out that every photo you take requires great amounts of work. At least this is how it works for me. I’m a perfectionist and I seldom am satisfied with out-of-the-camera results. I’m a self-taught photographer.

It’s not my intention to convey a message with my photos. I simply let myself go after momentary fascinations – a shadow, a certain color, lines and volume patterns, the light and the depth of a landscape. I take pictures instinctively.

Over the years, I’ve participated to various international photography contests and was awarded several honorable mentions and also a win:

• Honorable Mention at the IPA – International Photography Awards 2005, category Fine Art in non-professional, sub category Still-Life with my image Pomegranates n.1
• Finalist at the Third Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest 2005 in the Altered Images category with my image Leaf in Tar.
• Honorable Mention at the Px3-Photo Competition 2007 and third place in the Still-Life section at the Px3 Public Choice Awards with my image Pomegranates n.1
• Nominee in the Nature section at Black and White Spider Awards 2007 with my image Winter Bareness
• Nominee in the Architecture section at the International Color Awards 2007 with my image Stairs
• Winner Collage section at the International Photography Awards 2007 with my image City Shadow
• Nominee in the Architecture category at the International Color Awards 2008 with my image Church Detail and nominee in the Still-Life category with my image Pomegranates n.1
• Nominee in the Nature category at the International Color Awards 2010 with my image Waves Abstract
• Nominee in the FineArt category at the 6th Annual Black and White Spider Awards 2011 with my image Staircase Reflection

My images City balconies and Metropolis were published in the Architecture and Urban Scenes section of Wiley Publishing’s volume Photos That Inspire. One of my images was also selected for the “Abandoned Chairs” book by abandonedchairs.org.

I also had the honor of seeing one of my photos, City Shadow, featured in the latest redbubble.com book entitled The City.
