"I introduce myself, my name is Toni Pierdomè and I am one of the few photographers to use Pentax, while everyone else uses Canon or Nikon, perhaps for this reason they call me: "the Pentax photographer". I was born in Civitanova Marche, a beautiful seaside town in central Italy. Now I live in the province of Ancona, but always near the sea, which for me is a vital element. I am a portraitist who loves to make artistic portraits with vintage lenses, I have always been fascinated by faces for what the eyes and expressions can convey. I love art in all its forms and I think photography is one of the best expressions of human creativity. I use both analog and digital cameras, but even with the latter I prefer to use the old lenses of the analog era. I love the things of the past and also for photography I much prefer vintage lenses, rich in character, instead of modern ones, which vice versa are all the same in yield .. The old Takumar optics by Asahi Pentax are definitely my favorites and I think they are real jewels of the past. Finally I think I love Pentax also for this reason, you can use lenses from fifty years ago on a pentax camera of the latest generation with embarrassing simplicity and stratospheric results. Good light."
