À propos

I live in Fribourg (CH), but I feel at home everywhere.

Greetings! I'm Davide Nestola, a 31-year-old with a diverse cultural background and a passion for capturing the beauty of life through my lens. I spent my formative years in the picturesque town of Fribourg, where I was shaped by the blend of languages and cultures that surrounded me.

Growing up in Fribourg, I navigated the linguistic landscape effortlessly. While I pursued my education in the German language, I often found myself immersed in conversations with friends in French. This multilingual upbringing not only enriched my communication skills but also provided me with a unique perspective on the power of language in shaping connections.

Within the walls of my household, I experienced the richness of Italian culture. A lively hub of conversation, my home was where Italian was as common as the air we breathed. This nurturing environment not only solidified my connection with my heritage but also reinforced my belief in the universality of human expression, transcending borders and languages.

My professional journey took an unexpected turn when I delved into the world of optics. The art of being an optician fascinated me, and I dedicated myself to mastering the intricacies of the field. However, life's twists and turns often lead us to our true passions, and so it was with me. As fate would have it, I stumbled upon photography, a medium that would soon become my true calling.

Photography, particularly street photography, swept me off my feet. The raw emotions, unscripted moments, and the unfiltered stories that unfolded on the streets captivated my senses. With every click of the shutter, I found myself weaving tales of people's lives, capturing their joys, struggles, and the essence of their humanity.

Social media became my canvas, where I painted these stories for the world to see. What began as a personal exploration of a newfound passion soon evolved into something greater. Through my lens, I connected with kindred spirits from all corners of the globe, each image sparking conversations that transcended language barriers.

As my collection of photographs grew, so did the community that rallied around them. What started as a humble social media page burgeoned into a vibrant platform with a following of over 500,000 individuals worldwide. This community of photography enthusiasts, wanderers, and storytellers stood testament to the universal language of visual art.

So here I am, a product of diverse cultures and experiences, driven by a profound appreciation for the stories that unfold around us every day. Through my journey from optician to photographer, I've come to understand the incredible power of images to evoke emotions, to spark conversations, and to bridge gaps between cultures.

Join me as I continue to explore the world through my lens, capturing the fleeting moments that define our shared human experience. Let's celebrate the beauty of life together, one photograph at a time.
