Profotos Staff Evaluation:

Renato Valterza's work in the field of professional travel photography began in the 1970's, while he learned to develop and process his own prints as a student at the University of Torino. Throughout his three decades of image-making, Renato has greatly impacted the professional photography market in Italy and beyond, with the inspiring use of color he incorporates in his images.

Renato's main influences in photography include some of the greatest masters of the craft to ever live: Robert Sisson (N.G.S.), Ernst Haas, and Pete Turner. Renato actually studied under these masters during the 1980's, as he was developing his own style as a photographer! It is no small wonder why Renato's work in color photography is so beautiful and inspiring - he studied under Ernst Haas (the father of modern color photography).

Through the thousands of kilometers, which Renato has traveled during his career as a photographer, he has captured thousands of images that speak of the peoples and landscapes he has encountered. One of Renato's main purposes in working as a professional travel photographer, has been to document the vanishing nature of many countries such as Madagascar, Poland, Siberia etc.
