About Emanuele Vitale

Syracusan doc, but also lived for a long time elsewhere, my diving training was rather heterogeneous and rather brilliant. In a certain sense, I have skipped many stages, covering all the roles in the qualifications related to diving, even reaching that of instructor trainer. One day, however, I realized that all the sea I had learned up to that moment was the sea I had inside, in short, on closer inspection it wasn't a great way to share a little with others. It was a sea that at most I could tell. And since sometimes telling is not enough, images are also needed. So, once I tried the first sub shot, the others arrived accordingly. And it was a new birth: like when I realized that with the self-contained breathing apparatus I could take another breath under water after the first, and then another, and another, until I lost count. The images, the photos, the dives, those colors of silence: being able to describe that sea even without talking about it. A universal dialect, the language of emotions. In 2011 I went to the Italian Underwater Photography Championship for the first time and I won it in the Compact category. Today my specialization, which I try to convey to those who come to visit me in my club-diving, is precisely the underwater photography performed with compact cameras: often not too expensive devices, from which I can get unthinkable things. Convincing even the most skeptical that the image is not only in the equipment, which you must know, but in the eye and heart of the shooter, when words are not enough, images are needed! " Perhaps this is why my motto is "click an emotion".
