Biography: Salvo Bombara lives and works in Milazzo. A lover of art, he quenches his thirst for learning by consuming print media, watching documentaries and collaborating with those who share his passions. The combination of scientific studies and an intense passion for photography has produced a deep analysis of light, breaking down its structure to find the desired frequency. Salvo's first attempts at excluding visible light are done by removing the hot mirror from a compact camera, and placing film clippings in between the lens. He also experiments with reflex filters and long exposures.
