Salvo photographs people and places and things though not necessarily in this order and often together.

Salvo is a story teller and use photography as a mean to engage the viewer in a photographic narrative. Wandering and observing happenings in the street, on markets and generally in the environment around him is fascinating and never repetitive. A picture of people passing by, going about their business, sitting on a bench, waiting for some friend or even just sitting in front of him tells a story. People move, don’t repeat their gestures. Capturing the right moment requires patience, sympathy, affinity, adaptation and perseverance.  
His photography is a documentary and an appreciation for what is seen and experienced.

Based in Reading Salvo is resident photographer at the Jelly arts organisation and a member of the Whiteknight Studio Trail in Reading since 2010.
