About

“The photography does not show the reality, it shows the idea which someone has of it.”  - Neil Leifer -

Born in Cassino in 1984, Helmut Pilò discovered photography in 2016. His first trip to Iceland marked the beginning of a deep connection with nature, inspiring him to tell its story through photography, not as a means of documentation, but of interpretation, of giving physical form to the emotions evoked by the landscape.

Over the years, his passion evolved into a continuous quest. Through a careful use of focal lengths and light, he crafts images rich in atmosphere, where each shot becomes a reflection of an emotion. Along this journey, Helmut has developed a distinctive style, taking landscape photography beyond simple representation and into an expressive, creative realm.

Today, his photography is a form of inner storytelling: a journey through moods and sensations, translated into images that transcend reality and move closer to feeling. In other words, photography is about creating an image that already exists within oneself.
